The use of mind mapping in improving learning outcomes is certainly chosen by teachers as an alternative. According to Dimyanti and Mudjiono (2009): (200) learning outcomes are a level of success marked by a value. Learning outcomes are not a learning activity marked by a value, learning outcomes are not a mastery of training results but rather a change in behavior (Hamalik, 2008:27) Based on the results of data analysis and discussion, the conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the application of the mind mapping method can improve student learning outcomes. The teaching and learning process is an activity that takes place by involving various components that interact with each other to achieve goals, one of which is student creativity. Mind mapping is also one of the learning methods where students are able to be creative in producing an idea or thought. This is also in accordance with the nature of physics that involves creative activities and imagination and discoveries that can encourage students to develop divergent, original thinking, make predictions and experiment Creativity is indeed not the main factor in education but good education is education that is able to stimulate students to develop their creativity. Creativity is a characteristic of human courage that echoes who they are and what humans become in the future. In learning activities, the process of implementing mind mapping can increase student creativity because basically the way mind mapping works involves the basic workings of the brain which are arranged in more branches like a tree. The results of the study showed that the Mind mapping method can increase student creativity in learning Pancasila and Citizenship Education.
