Abstract

This research was motivated by the lack of students’ concepts understanding in Social Studies. The purpose of this study was to improve concepts understanding in Social Studies through mind mapping. This research method was Classroom Action Research. This study was carried out in three cycles, each cycle including the stages of planning, action, observation and reflection. Data collection techniques use written tests and observations. Data analysis techniques use these steps: manage raw data, present the data, draw conclusion, and reflect. Based on the results of research that has been obtained in Cycle I,classical completeness was 64% with an average score of 69.3. In Cycle II, classical completeness increased to 76% with an average score of 76.5, and in Cycle III, classical completeness increased to 84% with an average score of 82.4. Thus, it can be concluded that mind mapping could improve students’ concepts understanding in Social Studies. Mind mapping made students easily in explaining concepts, identifying or providing examples of concepts, comparing concepts with other concept, and inferring concepts.
