Abstract

The student-centered learning method is in line with the attitude of teachers and students who must be responsive in following and mastering the development of science and technology. This study aims to determine the effect of mind mapping learning methods on students' understanding of concepts. The population in this study was Grade 10 Information and Communication Technology in Odd Semester 2019/2010 at SMK Wira Harapan, Bali, Indonesia. The samples in this study were 35 students. Data analysis was conducted using Paired T-Test Sample Test. The results showed that the application of the mind mapping learning method was able to increase the value of the learning outcomes of Computer System subjects from mean 76 to 87. With a 95% confidence level the results showed that this method was positively and significantly correlated with 47% student learning outcomes. The mind mapping learning method needs to be applied to subjects, which require more understanding based on logic understanding. Efforts to increase learning outcomes must also pay attention to the characteristics of students and other factors.
