Abstract

This study aims to determine the use of the mind mapping technique through the mindomo application to improve students' writing comprehension focused on descriptive text in eleventh grade at SMA Negeri 3 Teupah Selatan 2023/2024 and to find out whether the use of the mind mapping technique through the mindomo application can improve students' writing comprehension of texts descriptive text in eleventh grade at SMA Negeri 3 Teupah Selatan. This class consists of 19 students. The author believes that using the mind mapping technique through the mindomo application can be chosen as one of the effective efforts used to overcome students' writing comprehension in the teaching and learning process. In this study, the writer will see whether the use of mind mapping techniques through the mindomo application can improve students' writing comprehension of descriptive texts. From the research, the authors found that there was a significant influence on student scores before and after the experiment. The results showed that the students' post-test scores increased significantly the highest compared to the pre-test. Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that the accepted hypothesis states that the use of the mind mapping technique through the Mindomo application can increase students' scores in understanding writing descriptive text.

Abstract

Planning ideas before drafting is a persistent challenge for learners who write in English as a foreign language. This quantitative pre-experimental study examined changes in descriptive writing performance after Grade XI students at SMAN 3 Teupah Selatan used Mindomo-assisted mind mapping as a prewriting scaffold. Nineteen students from class XI-1 were selected purposively from a population of 140 students. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, students completed an initial descriptive paragraph, participated in four instructional sessions on constructing and using digital mind maps, and completed a posttest. The writing tasks were assessed in terms of content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. The available summary data showed that the mean score increased from 46.44 to 77.72, a difference of 31.28 points. The reported mean normalized gain was 57.06%, with individual values ranging from 26.67% to 76.79%. These descriptive results indicate substantial within-group improvement and suggest that digital mind mapping can help learners generate details, visualize relationships among ideas, and use a plan while drafting. The findings do not establish a causal effect, however, because the study had no comparison group, involved a small purposive sample, and did not provide student-level paired scores for an appropriate inferential reanalysis. Further controlled research should examine whether the observed improvement is attributable to Mindomo-assisted planning rather than repeated practice or teacher support.
