×This research aims at: (1) identifying whether or not and to what extent the
use of Mind Mapping improves the reading comprehension of the seventh year
students of SMP N 3 Colomadu, and (2) describing the class situation when Mind
Mapping is implemented in the reading class of the seventh year students of SMP N 3
Colomadu.
The method used in this research was a collaborative action research. The
research was conducted in two cycles at the seventh year students of SMP N 3
Colomadu from February to June 2012. The research data were collected by using the
techniques of observation, interview, and tests (pre-test and post-test). The qualitative
data were analyzed through assembling the data, coding the data, comparing the data,
building interpretations, and reporting the outcomes. The quantitative data were
analyzed by comparing the mean scores of the pre-test and the post-test.
The research findings show that the use of Mind Mapping could improve the
students’ reading comprehension and class situation of English class. The
improvement of students’ reading comprehension includes: (1) students were able to
identify the main idea of the text; (2) students were able to identify the implicit detail
information of the text; (3) students were able to identify the explicit detail
information of the text; (4) students were able to identify the referent of the text; and
(5) students were able to identify word meaning in the text. While, the improvement
of class situation includes: (1) Students made less noise in teaching learning process;
(2) Students focused in doing the task and asked the difficulties they found; (3)
Students began to participate actively in discussing the text and the task; (4) Students
did their assignment and always responded the teacher commands.; and (5) Students
actively paid attention to the lesson; they also did the task cooperatively with their
group.
