The Effectiveness of the Mind Mapping Model on Elementary School Students’ Learning Outcomes in Indonesian Language Subjects
Get PDFThis study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Mind Mapping learning model on the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 207 Gresik in the Indonesian language subject. The background of this research is the low student achievement in understanding reading materials, identifying main ideas, and connecting information within texts—primarily caused by the use of conventional, less engaging teaching methods. The Mind Mapping model was chosen because it is believed to help students visually and logically organize information, thereby enhancing conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills. This research employed an experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of 30 randomly selected fourth-grade students. The instruments used included multiple-choice and essay tests as well as student perception questionnaires. The validity and reliability tests indicated that all instruments met the necessary standards. The t-test results showed a significant improvement in student learning outcomes after implementing the Mind Mapping model in the experimental class compared to the control class. In conclusion, the application of the Mind Mapping learning model is effective in improving student achievement in the Indonesian language subject and can serve as an innovative alternative teaching strategy in elementary education.
 
The Influence of Principal's Authentic Leadership, Responsible Management Education and Teacher Performance Motivation on Continuing Education in Public Junior High Schools in Jambi City
Get PDFLeadership plays a strategic role in realizing quality education. This study aims to analyze the influence of authentic leadership of principals, responsible management education, and teacher performance motivation on continuing education in junior high schools in Jambi City. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey technique on principals and teachers. Data were obtained from 221 respondents and analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression. The results of the analysis show that all three variables have a significant relationship with continuing education (p < 0.001), with responsible management education showing the highest correlation (r = 0.792). However, in the regression model, only responsible management education has a significant direct effect on continuing education (β = 0.762; p < 0.001). This model explains 62.9% of the variation in continuing education (R² = 0.629). These findings emphasize the importance of responsible management education practices in supporting the implementation of continuing education in schools. This study contributes to the development of educational leadership studies in Indonesia and recommends strengthening sustainability-based leadership training programs at the secondary education level
