Geography Teachers Perception on the Implementation of Mind Map on Scientific Approach

One of the learning components as a determinant of the learning success is learning the model. In fact, the components of learning can work effectively if a teacher has competences in applying the learning model that would fit into a learning. Therefore, this study aims to unravel geography teachers perception on the implementation of the mind map on a scientific approach. This study employed a qualitative research involving five geography teachers. The data was collected using a structured interview. It was then analyzed by reducing the data, coding, tabulating, displaying, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that there are problems in implementation mind map in the scientific approach. Teachers have difficulty in applying mind map on a scientific approach so that mind map is abandoned. It is caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The intrinsic factor is teachers are less aware of the implementation and function of the mind map. Furthermore, the extrinsic factor is caused by the strict supervision department against the selection of learning models. This problem has an impact on a limited choice of learning models including the mind map with a scientific approach. Keywords—Learning Model, Mind Map, Scientific Approach,
