Abstract

This research investigates how effective the integration of the Mind Mapping Model and the Canva application is in helping students improve their recount text writing skills at SMKN 1 Kediri. Writing, especially recount writing, plays a crucial role in English learning as it encourages students to reflect on and organize their past experiences in a structured way. Despite its importance, many students still struggle with this skill. They often find it difficult to get started, develop ideas, and arrange them into a coherent and logical text. These challenges can lead to feelings of frustration, low motivation, and a lack of confidence— especially among vocational school students. To help overcome these issues, the researcher applied a visual-based learning strategy using Canva, a digital design platform. By combining Canva’s features with the mind mapping method, students were encouraged to plan and structure their ideas in a creative and engaging way before writing. This process made it easier for them to visualize the flow of their stories. The learning model was built on the Genre-Based Approach, following a four-stage Teaching and Learning Cycle (BKOF, MoT, JCOT, and ICOT), which gradually guides students from understanding the topic to writing independently. The study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design involving two groups: one class used manual mind mapping with paper, while the other used Canva to create digital mind maps. Both classes were given pre-tests and post-tests to measure their progress, and their writing was assessed using five key criteria: Content, Organization, Vocabulary, Language Use, and Mechanics (COVLM). Statistical tools such as t-tests and N-Gain analysis were used to evaluate how much the students improved. The findings revealed that although both classes improved, students who used Canva showed a higher level of engagement and better organization in their writing. They were more enthusiastic, more involved in the learning process, and more confident when expressing their ideas. The digital mind maps helped them visualize their thoughts more clearly and made writing feel less intimidating and more enjoyable
