Key words: Students’ Vocabulary, Mind Map Technique.
Lerning vocabulary is a very important part of learning a language. Vocabulary mastery is the very basic knowledge to learn more about English, because vocabulary is the important role in English language Teaching . There is a reason for this, the more words you know, the more you will be able to understand what you hear and read, and the better you will be able to say what you want to when speaking or writting.
In Elementary School level, students face some problems in vocabulary. It was found after the researcher’s interview with English teacher at the school. First, the students difficult to answer the questions. Second, the students difficult to pronounce words correctly and the third, they have difficulty to understand about the meaning and content of a short text because the students’ vocabulary mastery is still low. Therefore, the teacher should be able to choose and implement a suitable technique to teach. This research was conducted with the following problem: “How can the implementation of mind map technique improve students’ vocabulary mastery of the fifth year students of MI Gendingan in the academic year 2011/2012?†The objective of this research is to improve students’ vocabulary mastery of fifth year student of MI Gendingan by using mind map technique.
This study used Classroom Action Research (CAR). It is adapted from Kemmis and Mc. Taggart’s model. The research was conducted in two cycles, each cycle covers planning, acting, observing and reflecting. The subject of the research were the fifth year students at MI Gendingan that consists of 30 students. This research was held from April, 6th 2012, to May, 4th 2012. The instrument used to collect the data is interview, observation sheet, field notes and tests to analysis the data. The data of interview, observation sheet and field notes were used to find out the students’ attitude and the condition of the classroom before and after mind map technique implemented . The result of the study before and after implemented mind map technique was different, before the implemented mind map the students’ vocabulary still low, but after mind map was implemented the students’ vocabulary more improved. The data on the students’ score were obtained from the vocabulary tests. The vocabulary test was used to know the students’ score. The scores were used to evaluate the students’ vocabulary mastery.
The result of the test shows improvement of the students’ score was included of criteria of success. The criteria of success was covered two aspects, there are 80% students who get good score equal (> 65) in vocabulary test. The scores of the students in cycle 2 increased compared to the scores of the students in preliminary study and cycle 1. On preliminary study, there were 12 (40%) students who passed the test, in cycle 1 there were 19 (63%) students who passed the test, and in cycle 2 there were 26 (87%) students who passed the test. The main factor that affects this improvement was the students’ interest in learning vocabulary mastery through mind mapping technique. They were more active and gave positive responses in teaching and learning process. It could be seen by the result of students’ score of the test. There were 26 (87%) students were interested and get the good score.
The results of the research showed that mind mapping technique could improve the students’ vocabulary mastery. Beside that, the development of the students’ vocabulary mastery could be shown from the comparison of the result of the preliminary study, cycle 1 and cycle 2. So, it can be concluded that mind mapping technique is able to be used to improve the fifth year students’ vocabulary at MI Gendingan in the academic year 2011/2012.
Then, it is suggested for the English teacher to apply mind mapping technique as an alternative technique in teaching vocabulary. For the students, mind map technique can be used to help them to master the vocabulary. Moreover, for the other researcher, it is suggested to use the result of the research as an input to conduct a further research dealing with the same technique but with different research design and different subject.
