After determining  the mean of both  experimental  and controlled  class X and  Y,
to determine  the  Standard  Deviation  of  experimental  class  X  used  a
formula as follow: SD

Meanwhile,  to  determine  the  Standard  Deviation  controlled  class  used  a formula as following:

Finally,  the  writer  calculated  t

in  significance  level  of  5  and  with degree of freedom df:
df = N

+ N

– 2 = 25 + 25
– 2 = 50
– 2 = 48
Based on the degree of freedom, the writer gained the t-table: Degree of significance 5 = 1.67
From the calculation toward of pre-test and post-test of both experimental and  controlled  classes,  the  result  shows  that  the  obtained  score  of  experimental
class  is  higher  than  that  of  controlled  class.  Besides,  the  writer  obtained  the comparison between t

and t

for the degree of significance 5: Degree of significance 5: t

t
= 3.09  1.67 The  data  which  have  been  calculated  by  using  t-test,  based  on  the  result
pre-test  and  post-test  of  both  experimental  and  controlled  classes  is  to  prove  the research hypothesis as tentative assumption below:
1. If    t

If    t

t
=  the  alternative  hypothesis  Ha  is  rejected  and  the  null hypothesis H
is accepted. From the data calculation, it was obtained the value of t
o
was 3.09 and the degree  of  freedom  df  was  48.  In  this  research,  the  writer  used  the  degree  of
significance 5 where the value of degree of significance 5 is 1.67. By  comparing  the  value  t
o
=  3.09  and    t
table
on  the  degree  of  significance 5  is  1.67,  the  writer  made  a  conclusion  of  hypothesis  that  t
o
was  higher  than t
table
,  namely  1.67    3.09.  It  means  that  the  alternative  hypothesis  H
a
was accepted  and  the  null  hypothesis  H
o
was  rejected,  so  that  using  mind  mapping technique is effective on students’ writing descriptive text.
