Model Makassar through Mind Mapping Technique |

|
The research was
conducted to know the effectiveness of the use of mind mapping
to improve students’ reading comprehension. It covered students’
literal comprehension, inferential comprehension and critical
comprehension. The research method employed was quasi
experimental. This research was designed into two groups, namely
experimental group and control group. Each group consisted of 34
students. The sample was chosen by applying cluster sampling
technique. The researcher used multiple choice of reading test
both in experimental and control groups. The data obtained
through the test were analyzed by using inferential statistic
through SPSS 17.0 program. The research findings showed that
mind mapping technique gave higher contribution to the students’
reading comprehension. The mean score of pretest of the
experimental and control group was not significantly different.
The mean score of posttest of the experimental group was higher
than the control group (24.17 > 21.82). Besides, all the three
level of comprehension improved after the treatment, the literal
level got the highest improvement with 2.17 point. It was
followed by inferential level which got 2.03 point and critical
level which got 2.82 point improvement. This led to the
conclusion that the application of mind mapping technique
improved the students’ reading comprehension. It means that the
use of mind mapping technique in teaching reading is very
effective to improve the students’ reading comprehension.
