Patricia Jayne D. Nacilla, Arlene C. Dolotallas, Ph.D

Abstract
Mind Mapping is a creative and logical means of note-taking and note-making that literally maps out the ideas in the brain. This study sought to find out the significant difference on the pretest scores in Biology of the students when grouped to Mind Mapping as a learning strategy and Lecture Method, find out the significant difference on the posttest scores in Biology of the students when exposed to Mind Mapping as a learning strategy and Lecture Method, and find out the pretest and posttest scores in Biology of the students when exposed to Mind Mapping as a learning strategy and Lecture Method. The study used the true experimental design, the pretest-posttest control group design. This study utilized the percentage, independent t-test and paired t-test to analyze the result. Paired t-test result revealed that there was a significant difference on the students’ pretest and posttest scores in Biology when exposed to Mind Mapping as a learning strategy and Lecture Method. This study concluded that Mind Mapping as a learning strategy can improve the students’ performance in Biology.
