Abstract

This study aims to improve students' nonfiction essay writing skills using mindmapping
strategies (concept maps). The type of research used is Classroom Action Research (PTK) which consists
of 2 cycles where in cycle I there are 2 meetings and in cycle II there is 1 meeting. Each cycle has four
stages, namely: planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The research subjects were 18 grade
V students at SDN Tlekung 01 Batu City with 9 male students and 9 female students. The results showed
that the percentage increase in the value of students' essay writing skills increased by 5% in cycle II. The
percentage of students' writing skills in cycle I reached 73.8%, while in cycle II it reached 78.7%. An
increase also occurred in the percentage of students who achieved learning mastery (in this case nonfiction essay writing skills) where there was an increase of 34%. The percentage of students who
experienced learning mastery in cycle I reached 44% while in cycle II it reached 78%. Based on this
research, it can be concluded that the use of Mind Mapping strategies can improve students' non-fiction
essay writing skills.
