ABSTRACT



This research aims to find out whether there was an improvement of the
students? writing in descriptive text after they have learned writing through
mind mapping technique and to find out the aspect of writing that improved
the most. The sample for this research was the students of 7D SMPN 3
NATAR, Lampung Selatan consisting of 31 students. The study used the pretest and post-test design. The instrument was a writing test. The results showed
that the mean score of the students' pre-test was 52.87, while the post-test
mean score was 69.19. Based on the calculation, the hypothesis was proven
since the t-test result showed a significant level lower than the alpha level
(0.01{\ensuremath{<}}0.05), and t-value was 11.240, which is higher than t-table (1.697). This
indicated that the hypothesis (H1) was accepted, confirming a significant
improvement in students? writing after using the mind mapping technique. The
aspect that showed the most improvement was content, with a gain of 6.08.
Thus, it could be concluded that mind mapping could be applied to improve
students' ability in writing descriptive text.
