ABSTRACT
This quasy experiment research aims to investigate the effect of Technique Mind Map on the student’s Learning Outcome in Human Circulatory System topic. The research was conducted in class XI IPA SMA Negeri 1 Berastagi academic year 2012/2013. The population of this research is 160 students and samples are purposive sampled consisting of 32 students as an experimental class (XI-IPA 1) and 32 students of control class (XI-IPA 3). 30 items of multiple choice test were used, and validated before they were applied. The result shows that pretest in experimental and control class are (34.53±10.30) and (29.84±9.51). t test reveals tobs (1.95) < t table (2); ά = 0,05. Prestest has no significant effect in the student’s preliminary knowledge. In the contrary, postest shows different result (experimental class : 60.47±17.17; control class: 48.91±11.28). t test reveals that t obS (3.32) > t table (1.16). This
findings states that treatments has signnificant effects on the student’s learning outcome in Biology. It is advisable that Technique Mind Map is incorporated in the learning process especially in teaching Biology.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background
Education is a conscious effort that is intentionally designed to achieve the goal set. Education aims to improve the quality of human resources. Based on the development of era in the world education continues changing significantly that many educators have to change the mindset from the conventional mindset to become more modern. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of human resources through learning process at school. The assessment of learning process toward a more effective and efficient is inseparable from the role of the teacher as the spearhead of learning in school. Therefore, teacher should equip themselves with skills that are expected to assist in carrying out their duties. Since the teacher is one of the factors that influence the learning process, teacher must understand and develop method to improve students’ motivation.

Based on the preliminary survey analysis conducted in SMA Negeri 1 Berastagi found some facts in the biology learning process. These statements are proven by the score percentage for Biology learning result which is still low. Those problems occur at SMAN 1 Berastagi. The number of students that did not fulfill the score criteria of minimum completeness (KKM) 75 on semester final exam is 46% in grade eleventh (teacher interview, 2012).
There are many factors cause low achievements of biological study. The inability of students to master the material is one of the reasons. One of the most wide-ranging biology materials on high school is about the human circulatory system. There are complex content. Therefore it is necessary to apply the variation of model or the methods.
One activity that cannot be separated from teaching and learning Biology is making note. Without recording and repeating it, most students could only remember a part of material that they read or what they heard (De Porter and Henarcki, 2005). However, note means is an effective censure for an affective record keeping can save time by helping students to store the information easily and recall it when needed. Actually the ability of in organizing the information in order to record more likely to stick in memory could happened if the note is made by creative thought as well as increase the students interest while reading it. So it is not necessarily write all the sentences into records, but it can be in the form of key points or image.

brain works, the information will be stored better in the brain and of course the learning process will be easier in the end.
From background of study above , the writer will conduct an experiment to see the effect of Mind Map on students’ learning outcomes on Human Circulatory System Grade Eleven Science Program at SMA Negeri 1 Berastagi, Academic year 2012/2013.
1.2.Problem Identification
Based on the elaboration of the background of the study above, the problems of study are formulated as follow:
a. Students’ academic outcome is still low noticed by number of students that did not fulfill the score criteria of minimum completeness 75 on semester final exam is 46%.
b. Learning Strategy used by teacher is still less interest.
c. Human Circulatory System topics consist of biological text with long and complex sentences that are laden with facts. It also filled with terminology in which students have a hard time identifying and keeping tracks of key terms.
1.3.Research Scope
Due to time and resource limitation, this study will be focused on: 1. Technique Mind Map is applied in the experimental class.
2. The material taught in this study is the subject matter human circulatory system.
