%X This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of mind mapping method to improve the learning achievements of physics. The subjects of this study were students in grade VIII of SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Yogyakarta which have average score of physics subjects below 6.5, and have the ability to see and hear well. Data collection methods used in this study was the academic score on the physics subject of optical tools, documentation, observation and interview. This study used the experimental method of pretest-posttest with control group design and used the t-test analysis. The results of paired sample t-test analysis in experimental group obtained that mind mapping method has highly significant positive effect in enhancing achievement of physics learning (t = -11.006, p = 0.000). The results of the paired sample t-test analysis in control group showed that conventional method has insignificant influence on achievement enhancement of physics learning (t = -1.941, p = 0.070) and the independent sample t-test in both group found that there are significant difference of average (mean) posttest score between the experimental group and control group (t = 2.144, p = 0.020). The results demonstrate mind mapping method is very effective in improving the learning achievements of physics.
