Encouraging Students' Active Learning Activities through the Implementation of MASTER Learning Model Based on Mind Mapping Techniques

Abstract

Students' active learning activities are one indicator of success in a learning process. In fact, students tend to listen to teacher explanations which hamper students learning activities. This point make students not free to develop their potential, so the most students are not interested in mathematics learning. Therefore, there needs to be an effort in this problem, namely by using the steps in the learning model. This study aims to determine the application of MASTER based on mind mapping in increasing the learning activities of students at SMA Pembangunan Laboratorium UNP. This research used non-test techniques in the form of observation sheets and field notes. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the learning activities of implementation of the MASTER based on mind mapping experienced an increase in the A4 indicator and experienced fluctuations in indicators A1, A2, A3, A5, and A6. Even so, the overall average of this research succeeded in reaching 87.5% in the very good category. It means that the implementation of a mind mapping-based learning model shows an active learning activity.
