THROUGH MIND MAPPING TECHNIQUE AT SMP N 3 TEMPEL IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2012/ 2013 By Endi Prasetyo 09202249002 ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to improve the students’ writing skill of SMPN 3 Tempel through the mind mapping technique. In conducting the study, the researcher involved the English teacher, the school principal, and the eighth grade students of SMPN 3 Tempel in the academic year of 2012/2013. This research applied the principle of action research. The participants of the study were 36 students of the eighth grade students of SMPN 3 Tempel in the academic year of 2012/2013. The data of this study were qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were obtained by observing the teaching-learning process. They are taking pictures of the teaching learning process in the class, interviewing (the eighth grade students, the English teacher, and the school principal), and holding discussion with the English teacher. The qualitative data were in the form of field notes and interview transcripts. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were gained by assessing the students’ writing skill through the pre-test and the post-test. Therefore, the quantitative data were in the form of students’ writing scores in the pre-test and the post-test. The results of this study showed that the use of the mind mapping technique was effective to improve the students’ writing skill. The use of colorful pictures of mind mapping in the BKOF and MOT stages was effective to make the students more enthusiastic in the writing activities. All students could understand and respond to the researcher’ instruction and explanations. The activities in the JCOT stage for using the mind mapping as a pre-writing planning strategy were successful to help the students generate or organize their ideas. They could also use the appropriate words they learnt to make the mind mapping. The activities in the ICOT stage to write the recount text were effective through the mind mapping. The students could imagine and generate their ideas using the mind mapping and they could produce the recount text with the correct generic structure.
