The Benefits of the Think Pair Share Method for Teaching Senior High School Students to Write using Mind Mapping Media

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether senior high school students taught using the Think Pair Share Method with Mind Mapping Media achieved superior writing skill achievement than students taught using the GTM. This study used a quasi-experimental design, which is a type of quantitative research. Sixty-four students made up the research sample: thirty-two from class XI IPS 1 were the experimental group, and thirty-two from class XI IPS 2 were the control group. Students of SMAN Kademangan Blitar's Class XI were the study's subjects. The data was calculated by the researcher using ANCOVA. The study's conclusions demonstrated that students who were taught the Think Pair Share Method with Mind Mapping Media outperformed those who were taught GTM in terms of writing achievement. According to the Estimated Marginal Means Table, students taught using the Think Pair Share Method with Mind Mapping Media scored 77,529, while students taught using GTM scored 77.034. In summary, the Think Pair Share Method combined with Mind Mapping Resources was more effective in teaching writing.
