<![CDATA[This classroom action research aims to examine the improvement of fourth-grade students’ learning outcomes in Civic Education (PKN) through the application of the mind mapping method. The research was carried out in response to the low learning outcomes observed among students in the PKN subject, which is crucial for developing responsible and active citizens. The study was conducted at SDN X using the action research model developed by Kemmis and McTaggart, which consists of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants consisted of 28 fourth-grade students. The research was conducted over two cycles, each with two meetings. Data were collected through observation sheets, field notes, student work, and written tests. The findings revealed a significant improvement in student engagement and academic achievement. The average score increased from 65.3 in the initial condition to 72.6 in the first cycle and reached 81.4 in the second cycle. The percentage of students achieving the minimum mastery criteria also improved from 39% to 82%. These results indicate that mind mapping can serve as an effective and engaging method to support students’ comprehension, retention, and enthusiasm in learning Civic Education.]]>
