Mind Mapping Learning Model to Increase Student Competency and Pattern Thoughts With Mixed Methods Research Approach

摘要

The main problem of higher education in Indonesia currently lies in the professional effort towards developing the competence of a quality mindset. Cooperative learning method has many models: one model is quite sophisticated is the learning model mind mapping (mind mapping). This research method is a mixed method, that Is consist of the qualitative method and quantitative method. In the use of strategy mixed method is done with a sequential exploratory strategy, where research begins by collecting qualitative data, then followed by collecting quantitative data. The population in this study is all students of Mechanical Engineering Department of the Year 2017/2018 who have taken the course of thermodynamics technique. Sampling with non-random sampling technique. This research shows that: 1) the difficult thermodynamic material of the technique involves newton's law and the law of gravity, the equilibrium of the two-dimensional style, the equilibrium of the three-dimensional style, the method of section model, the centers of mass and centroids, the phenomenon of beams affects, the phenomena of beams affects, and the potential energy stability: 2) the factors causing the low competence and mindset of students in the thermodynamic course of engineering include weak level of ability to analyze the calculation, limited availability of learning support media, and effectiveness of mind mapping method as an alternative to problem-solving the low pattern of thinking and competence; 3) mind mapping method proved effective as an alternative to solving the problem of low thinking pattern and student's competence in thermodynamics technique.
