The Used of “Mind Mapping” in Teaching English to Improve

Students’ Achievement at SDN Sumberanyar 1 Probolinggo

ABSTRACT

.

“Mind Mapping” is the creation of Tony Buzan, memory expert. It is a very

powerful tool of organizational thinking. Mind Mapping is closely approximates the

natural operation of thinking. Our mind is naturally work-centered and the process of

thinking is a complex combination of words, pictures, scenarios, colors, and event

sound and music. The Young Learner will enjoy with that so they can improve their

achievement in English.

In this study, the researcher used experimental design. In this case, the

experimental group was given a treatment using “Mind Mapping” and the Control

Group was treated by lecturing-method. The researcher took fifth grade students of

SDN 1 Sumberanyar Probolinggo which consisted of two classes. The researcher

took 4A and 4B both of the class consisted 22 students.

The instrument to collect the data was test. The data of this study were

analyzed using ANOVA. And the Result of the calculation showed that there was no

significance difference between experimental and control group. The mean score of

experimental group was 53.9 and the mean score of control group was 57.0. On the

other hand, there were significance difference between experimental group and

control group, it was 0.05 and the degree of freedom of 42, then the F-table value was

found to be 4.97. The data showed that the value of F-ratio was greater than that of F-

table. Since the p-value (the resulting sig.) was less than 0.5, it can be stated that there

was a significance difference in the means of the post-test of experimental group and

control-group. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is

accepted. Therefore, the hypothesis stating that teaching English using Mind

Mapping improves the students‟ achievement was accepted. This means that teaching

English using “Mind Mapping” significantly improves the fourth grade students‟

English achievement.

Key word:”Mind Mapping”,Teaching English, Young Learner, Achievement
