Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing the mind mapping model in Christian Religious Education (CRE) learning at SDN 074063 Botolala Uludumula. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The sample consisted of 28 fifth-grade students and 2 CRE teachers. The findings reveal that: (1) the application of the mind mapping model in CRE successfully improved students’ understanding of biblical concepts by 76.4%; (2) mind mapping facilitated an increase in students’ creativity in expressing Christian values; (3) a positive correlation was found between the use of mind mapping and students’ ability to recall and apply CRE concepts in daily life; and (4) the mind mapping model enhanced students’ active engagement in the CRE learning process. The study concludes that the mind mapping model is an effective instructional strategy for teaching CRE at the elementary level, particularly in helping students understand, organize, and integrate Christian concepts in a creative and meaningful manner.
