Achieving Spectacular Learning Outcomes: A Mind Mapping Breakthrough for Pancasila Values in Grade 7

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to improve the learning outcomes of seventh-grade students on the material of Implementation of Pancasila Values through the Mind Mapping method. The research was conducted in two cycles at SMP Negeri 32 Bekasi during the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year, involving 40 students (20 male and 20 female). Data collection utilized a pre-test, post-test, classroom observation, and documentation, while the research instruments consisted of a 20-item multiple-choice test and an observation sheet. The data were analyzed using descriptive comparative techniques by comparing the mean score, percentage of completeness (mastery), and gain score. The results showed a significant improvement in student achievement. The mean score of the pre-test was 60.75, with only 5% of students achieving mastery. In Cycle I, the average increased to 73.25 with 33% mastery and a moderate gain score category (0.3). In Cycle II, the average rose to 82.75 with 85% mastery and a high gain score category (0.71). Student engagement also increased through active participation in discussions, mind map creation, and group presentations. Thus, the Mind Mapping method is proven effective in improving student learning outcomes, motivation, and participation in Civics Education (PPKn) lessons on the Implementation of Pancasila Values.
