Abstract

ABSTRACT Dwi Indah Sari : The Use of Mind Mapping on PowerPoint Presentations in Understanding TEFL Material Advisor : Dr. Leffi Noviyenty M.Pd Co-advisor : Dr. Paidi Gusmuliana M.Pd This study investigated the use of mind mapping on PowerPoint presentations in enhancing TEFL students’ understanding at the English Tadris Study Program of IAIN Curup. A mixed-methods descriptive design was employed, involving 54 students completing perception questionnaires and 13 students participating in semi-structured interviews to explore cognitive processing and learning experiences. Findings indicated that students had highly positive perceptions, The findings show that students generally have positive perceptions of this method, with the highest scores in cognitive understanding (82.1%), memory retention (81.3%), and overall perception (81.5%). In terms of understanding, students excelled in recognizing and recalling concepts, explaining theories, classifying information, and summarizing content, whereas higher-order skills such as analysis, evaluation, and creation were observed less frequently. Cognitive demands were primarily intrinsic, stemming from the complexity of content and English terminology, while extraneous load arose from intricate visual designs, and germane load reflected students’ efforts in integrating and reflecting on material. Overall, mind map on PowerPoint presentations proved effective in supporting conceptual understanding, procedural application, and structured organization, while highlighting the need for additional scaffolding to develop advanced cognitive skills.
