RESEARCH BACKGROUND
:
In learning English, the curriculum development team from
Indonesia’s Ministry of Education stated that “Fundamental changes in
ways of thinking and acting is the correct word to implement the
Curriculum of 2013” (Tim Penjamin Mutu Pendidikan, 2018, p. 476). The
curriculum of 2013 adapted three different dimension for teachers to give
assessments in students’ performance which are: attitude, knowledge, and
skills. Therefore, related to the subject of English, the curriculum clearly
stated in the basic competence and core competency that when students are
learning English in their high school, they are expected to perform well in
the four skills of English which are: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and
Writing.
The 10th grade students of XYZ high school in Ambon have
learned about recount text during their junior high school years. So it can
be assumed that they have gained the knowledge of writing a recount text.
If there are anything that they forgot, the curriculum guide stated pretty
clear that the teacher’s role in class is only as a guide and not as the source
of knowledge. The XYZ high school in ambon is a very student centered –
Christ centered educational institution. Ideally, the students would build
their own knowledge and the teacher would guide them to the right
building and foundation of the knowledge.
However, what was found during the internship by the student
teacher was not like the expectations above. The students in XYZ high
school in ambon lacked of vocabularies and their writing skills is not as
expected. Students performed not really good during the wiriting activities.
For a free writing assignment, the rubric should be pretty simple since
what was graded only the ideas organization and subject-verb agreement.
But the result of students’ wiriting is nowhere near the standard. Students
organize their writing ideas randomly and 81% of the students did not do
well in putting the subject-verb agreement in their sentences. The student
teacher also did not do well in his teaching. Student teacher have tried
various teaching methods and approaches in language classroom but did
not seem to work. The students felt bored during the learning process
because the teacher’s performance.
It can be seen that there is a huge gap between the expected
performace and reality given in above statements. Thus, according to the
problem faced, the researcher conceived a research title of “Mind-Map® to
Increase Students’ Text Organization in Writing Recount Texts On Tenth
Grade Students Class Of Social on XYZ Senior Highs School in Ambon”.
