Abstract
The purposes of this research are: 1) how the implementation of character education
strategy through learning-based mind mapping with Mindjet Mind Manager, 2) the extent
implementation of character education strategy through learning based mind mapping
with Mindjet mind manager in improving students' understanding against the concept of
office management. This research is classroom action research. The results showed that:
1) Implementation of character education through learning-based mind mapping with
Mindjet mind manager using theory and practice methods in the learning process leads
the students to be creative, respect other people's work, honest, confident and believe in
their ideas and ideas can be formed, 2) learning-based mind mapping with Mindjet mind
manager is highly effective in improving students' understanding on the basic concepts of
management offices. It also increases the activity and attention of students during the
learning process and the learning ability of lecturer in management. Based on the results,
here are the recommendation: 1) In implementing the learning-based mind mapping with
Mindjet mind manager, there should be facilities and infrastructure such as the Internet
must be available and connected well, 2) For more optimum learning, at the beginning of
the lecture, the lecturer should provide examples of using the program prior to the student
with coherent phase.

I. Introduction
Recently, the learning process at the level of primary, secondary and
higher education tend to focus more on material gain and a slight emphasize on
character education. Thus, the students are grade-oriented. To achieve a high
score in the courses, the students may do less commendable action, for instance
by cheating on the exam. The score they targeted may be obtained, however their
morality cannot be justified. Character is the stable personal attitude as a result of
the consolidation process progressively and dynamically, the integration of the
statements and actions. (Khan: 2010).
Education in Indonesia is conducted in accordance with national education
goals, that is to create intelligent Indonesian cognitively and morality. Therefore,
character education becomes an absolute necessity. Unfortunately, the
implementation of character education at the level of higher education is still not
optimal. Lecturers often encounter some of their students have not learned before

the class. This can be observed by asking some questions related to last lesson
learned and the next lesson they are going to learned which has been notified in
advance. During the course, lecturers have not manage their students optimally,
and thus some of the students have not been able to achieve individual
competencies required to join the advanced course or even the lessons studied in
the class. Given this condition, some students have not learned until the level of
understanding, students just learn (read: memorize) the facts, concepts, principles,
laws, theories, and other innovative ideas, they have not been able to use and
apply it effectively to solve the contextual problems in the daily life. Whereas,
learning would be more meaningful if the participants experienced what they
learned. If the students experience the lesson they learned, they will have
intelligent thinking and create ability to solve problems.
Memorizing-oriented learning was proved to last in the short term and fail
to provide the students an ability to solve problems in the long-term life
(Depdiknas, 2003). To increase students understanding, lecturers should always
make innovation and improvisation on teaching strategies in the classroom.
Learning strategies are not necessarily same for each class or each student.
Learning strategies should be customized in accordance with the students’
conditions and the ability. In every learning material, students are demanded to be
able to understand because understanding the materials is ongoing. To increase
students’ understanding, it is necessary to create innovative strategies that help the
lecturer in the classroom through learning model as in the reality, for instance in
basic concepts of management offices course, students are expected to not only
memorize the lesson but also have capability of critical thinking, intelligent and
can make decision regarding office management applications in the real life. This
condition will be achieved if the learning process is carried out to focus on both
the lesson and students’ character.
Learning strategies through mindjet mind manager based mind mapping
consequently changes the learning culture in the learning context. There are at
least four important components in building a learning culture by using this
model. First, students are required to learn independently by using appropriate
approaches to direct, motivate, and organize themselves in the learning process.
Second, lecturers may develop their knowledge and skills, facilitate in learning
activity, and understand the things that are needed in learning process by using
technological advances. Third, the availability of adequate infrastructure and. And
fourth, creative administrator and infrastructure preparation in facilitating learning
activity, as described in the figure below:

Nevertheless, many lecturers do not take advantage of technological
advances in their learning process. A number of constraints related to electricity
and telecommunications network infrastructure hinder the access of students and
lecturers in the utilization and use of technology to support the lecture.
Office Management Course is a compulsory subject taken by students in
Office Management program. This course will discuss the basic concepts and the
development of office management science, the scope of the office management,
office management functions, organization forms and office management
problems. In the early observations of lectures on the basic concept of office
management course carried in single direction method resulted as follows: (1).
classroom seemed very boring (2) The lesson begun by describing the material
and then continued with exercises (3) Only three students within 30 minutes asked
about the lesson and lecturers directly answered their questions (4) Only 1 of 4
feedback questions by the lecturer could be answered correctly. The students had
not understood the fundamental basic concepts of office management and think
critically in seeking solutions to the problems related to office management
applications. In addition, one-way learning and monotonous media cause the
students feel bored and give less attention to the lecturer’s explanation in the
class.
Subsequent observation was performed as a companion observation during
learning process with the material of basic concepts of management offices
application. Based on this observation, it was founded that: (1) only 4 out of 38
students who asked questions about the application of the basic concepts of
management offices, (2) the rest of the students only recorded what was delivered
by lecturer and students' questions that had been answered directly by the lecturer
(3) only 2 of 4 feedback questions from lecturers could be answered by the
students. Next, lecturers held a block test on the lesson and got results as follows: Table 1 : Grade of Student’s Post Test
Aspect Observation I Observation II
Lowest Score 60 62
Highest Score 73 72
Class Average 60 61
It can be seen that the average concept understanding in office management
courses is too low because many students still tend to take notes and still centered
on their lecturer as one-way communication from lecturer to students. Moreover,

The problems in this research are: 1) How is the implementation of
character education strategy through learning by using mind mapping mindjet
mind manager basis?, 2) To the extent the implementation of character education
strategy through mindjet mind manager based mind mapping in improving student
understanding of office management concept?
The purpose of this research is to improve student understanding of the
basic concepts on office management courses by applying mind mapping based
on mindjet mind manager. Furthermore, this study aims to develop students'
ability to think critically and intelligently in addressing the problem. Student
competency standards is considered successful if it has the following indicators
(a) at least 75% of students scored more seven (b) at least 75% of students can
study actively in learning process (c) at least 75% of the students can be
conductive and active in learning activity (d) increase lecturer capabilities in
learning management.
II. Teoritical Framework Character Education
Rutland in Hidayatullah (2009: 1) argues that the character comes from the Latin
root meaning "sculpted". A life, like a block of granite which is carefully chiseled or
beaten at random which will eventually become a masterpiece or debris damaged.
Characters, a combination of virtues and values that were carved in the living rock, will
declare the actual value. No improvements are cosmetic, there is no arrangement of
decorations that can make a stone that is not useful to an art for very long. Only
characters that can do it. A person can be said to be in character if it has successfully
absorbed the desired values and beliefs of society and is used as a moral force in his life.
Likewise, if the character is said to be an educator to have values and beliefs are based on
the nature and purpose of education as well as used as a moral force in their duties as
educators. According to Simon Philips in Qomari (2010), the character is a collection of
values that lead to a system, which underlies the thinking, attitudes, and behavior
displayed. While Doni (2010) understand that the same character with personality.
Personality considered a trait or characteristic, or style, or characteristic of a person who
comes from formations received from the environment. During dimensional characters do
not become part of the criteria for success in education, during which education will not
contribute much in character development. In fact, educators character which produces a
reliable human resource and have an identity. Therefore, be people who have an identity,
strong and intelligent character. The foundation of character owned (manifest) in a
person, so that he became a person of good character (good character), has the honesty,
patience, humility, responsibility and respect, which is reflected in the unity of personal
organization and harmonious dynamic. Without the basic moral values (basic moral
values) are always manifest in the person anytime and anywhere, the questionable content
of faith and devotion (Gedhe Raka, 1997).

Khan (2010: 2) there are four types of characters are implemented in the
educational process, namely the religious values-based character education, which is the
revelation of God's righteousness (moral conservation). Character education is a value-
based culture, in the form of manners, Pancasila, literature appreciation, exemplary
historical figures and pre leaders of the nation (environmental conservation). Based
character education environment (environmental conservation). Character education
component includes: First, community participation. Are educators, parents, students, and
community members invest themselves in a consensus-building process to find a common
ground that is essential for long-term success. Second, education policy character. Make
character education of the philosophy, objectives or mission statement by adopting a
formal policy. Do not be limited to the writings and words alone. The deal there is a
meeting of parents, teachers and community representatives and use consensus to get
agreement on which characters to strengthen and what definitions to use. Thirdly, the
integrated curriculum. Make character education an integral part of the curriculum at all
grade levels. Take the traits you've chosen and linking them to classroom lessons, so
students see how a trait might figure into a story or be part of a scientific experiment or
how it might affect them. Creating a character is part of every grade and every subject.
Fourth, the learning experience. Allow your students to see nature in action,
experience it and express. Include community-based, real-world experience in the
curriculum which describe the character (service learning, cooperative learning and peer
mentoring). Take the time for discussion and reflection. Fifth, the evaluation. Evaluation
of character education from two perspectives: the program that affect positive changes in
student behavior, academic achievement and cognitive understanding of the
characteristics and the implementation process providing tools and support teachers need.
Sixth, adult role models. Children learn what they live, so it is important that adults
demonstrate positive character traits at home, school and in the community. If adults do
not model the behavior they teach, the entire program will fail. Setyowati (2010: 56) the
formation of character must be done systematically and continuously involving aspects of
knowledge, feeling, loving, and acting. Nine characters that applied to students of the
love of God and all His creation, responsibility, discipline, and self reliance, honesty/
trust and diplomacy, respectful and polite, generous, helpful, and cooperation/
collaboration, confident, creative, and workers hard, leadership and fairness, kind and
humble, tolerant, harmony, and loyalty. In addition to the characters mentioned above, is
also required courage and fortitude of character as a major capital for success. The birth
of a brave nature and grit came from a strong sense of the principles held.
Learning with Mind Mapping Based on Mindjet Mind Manager
According to Jonassen (1987), Mind mapping is a technique developed by Buzan
(1974) to organize and compile the information that shows the relationship between the
information and the other information referred proposition. Mind mapping can reveal the
meaning of a concept based on the proposition that concept with other concepts. Mind
mapping is a method of mapping the brain to all information. This method opens the
human mind to be able to develop an approach that is more creative thinking and
innovative. It works by making the visualization of an idea into a diagram, images,
symbols, representing the idea. The aim is to create a big picture on the information. In
order to understand the whole idea of the brain and is composed of any parts
development. How visualization is very important for anyone who thinks the activity
because all information coming into the brain through the image captured, even for an
abstract idea though. Later this visualization must establish roots diagram showing the
relationship of ideas ordinate the distribution of subordinate details. This principle is
actually used to combine the left hemisphere and right brain simultaneously. The left
brain is working on things that are organized, linked to grammar, formulas, rules,
mathematical, logical, and something linear. While the right brain tend to work on things

that are creative like imagination, music, drawing, playing a role, a summary, and
something that is dynamic.
The use of synchronous This will improve the workings of the brain, memorize
any incoming information. Incoming information usually in the form of verbal need to be
given concurrent visualization so that the brain can instantly identify the part where the
idea can be called back. Dialing information restoring the brain was done by identifying
large structures of a visualization. This visualization can be images, schematics, graphics,
icons, sounds, music, stand alone or can be used simultaneously. For example to visualize
the kinds of jobs can be created images that show humans with equipment profession.
This image connected to each other with lines and colors. Mind mapping was developed
by Tony Buzan, a British researcher who apply knowledge about the brain and thinking
processes in various fields of life. He developed knowledge about the brain in the early
70s and getting new formulation in the decade of the 90s. Mind Mapping through his
book, he describes how the brain performs the process of digesting the information, the
data. After understanding the process of this work he then apply them in various human
activities. This book is the widespread acceptance of readers around the world with
translated into various languages.
According to Wycoff in (Henmowos: 2005), there are eight benefits of Mind
Mapping for self development. First in writing midwife. Mind mapping can help an
author, for example, in exploring new novel character or breaking down barriers to write
so that writing activities can be carried out quickly, easily, and flowing. Secondly, in the
field of project management. Mind mapping can help a person break down a project into
small parts which can then be supervised in detail. Third, to enrich brainstorming
activities. Brainstorming activities, whether conducted in groups or individually, matched
with mind mapping techniques in structure to flow freely Fourth, to effective meeting.
For managers, there is a possibility of working time they used to attend. Mind mapping
makes meeting time more effective and productive. Fifth, make a list of tasks. Sometimes
the composition of the list of tasks we do not encourage us to do it correctly and well.
Mind mapping can help us make a list of tasks that motivate. Sixth, perform dynamic
presentations. With mind mapping, presentation material will be remembered more easily
and made many people rich presentation to get the material varies. Seventh, make a note
that empower themselves. Mind mapping recording method that combines text and
images will help someone manage information, add links and associations, and to make
information more last long in the memory. Eighth, to identify themselves. The following
is an example of using mindjet mind manager.

III. Research Methods
This study was conducted at management office program in 6 months. The
students in a class are 38 students. This research was a class action research by
doing some stages: (a) planning; (b) implementation; (c) observation; and (d)
reflection as shown below:
This study was conducted in cycle that was planned on the subject of the basic
concepts of office management. The number of cycles depended on the
achievement of research objectives. The cycle will be accomplished when it
achieved the objectives of the study: (a) at least 75% of students got the final
grade more than 7 (b) at least 75% of students can study actively in the learning
process (c) at least 75% of students can be conductive and active in learning, (d)
increase lecturer’s ability in learning management.
IV. Result and Discussion
Class action research by implementing learning with mind mapping based
on mindjet mind manager in office management courses aimed to improve
students' understanding on the basic concepts of office management. Furthermore,
this concept is conducted to deliver character education to the students. The
understanding level of students to the basic concepts of office management can be
observed from students’ achievement. Here are the data obtained during the
research:

Based on the table, after implementing learning process by using mind
mapping based on mindjet mind manager, in the first cycle the number of students
scoring above 70 were 20 students (53%) and students whose score is less than or
equal to 70 were 18 students (47 %). While on the second cycle of the number of
students who scored more than 70 were 32 students (84%) and students whose

grade is less than or equal to 70 were 6 students (16%). Based on this data, it can
be concluded that the number of students scoring above 70 increased from 20
students to 32 students. In the second cycle, an indicator of success learning with
mind mapping of mindjet mind manager was raised because 75% students had
grade more than 70, and in the second cycle whose score above 70 were 32
students (84%). Learning management by lecturers through mind mapping of
mindjet mind manager were observed as follows:

Based on the table, lecturer’s skills of learning management was observed
through 10 variables, consisted of learning process from opening until the closing.
In the first cycle, the accuracy of the lecturers in giving lesson introductory given
3 grade (good), voice intonation got 3 (Good), the use of language had 3 (Good).
The ability of the lecturers to deliver the material (main activity) by varying their
resources was 3 (good), the precision use of media had 2 (sufficient), appropriate

method was 2 (sufficient), voice intonation was 3 (good), the use of language got
value of 3 (good), clarity in giving guidance got 2 (sufficient). While the ability of
lecturers in closing the lecture that was observed through appropriate evaluation
was 2 (sufficient).
In the second cycle, appropriate introductory by the lecturer got value of 4
(excellent), voice intonation got 4 (excellent), the use of language had 4
(excellent). The ability of the lecturers to deliver the material (main activity) by
varying their resources was 4 (excellent), the precision use of media had 3 (good),
appropriate method was3 (good), voice intonation was 4 (excellent), the use of
language got value of 4 (excellent), clarity in giving guidance got 3 (good). While
the ability of lecturers in closing lecture was observed through appropriate
evaluation and got value of 4 (excellent). Based on these data, there is an increase
in learning management after the lecturer implement learning method by using
mind mapping based on mindjet mind manager.
Furthermore, the results of observations regarding students’ activity and
attention in the learning process can be seen in the table below:

Based on the table, on the first cycle it can be observed that students’
intention to the lesson was 2 (sufficient), students were active during the learning
had only 1 (bad), students’ participation in the achievement of learning outcomes
was 2 (sufficient), the cooperation of students in the learning process got 2
(sufficient), students’ attention and seriousness to work using instrument
(laptop/computer) to make the mind mapping based on mindjet mind manager had
2 (sufficient), the creativity of students in making mind mapping based on mindjet
mind manager got the value of 2 (sufficient), the ability of students in presenting
ideas related to the subject that is being studied based on mind mapping they
created got 2 (sufficient).
However, on the second cycle it can be observed that students’ intention to
the lesson was 4 (excellent), students were active during the learning had 3
(good), students’ participation in the achievement of learning outcomes was3
(good), the cooperation of students in the learning process got3 (good), students’
attention and seriousness to work using instrument (laptop/computer) to make the

students in making mind mapping based on mindjet mind manager got the value
of3 (good), the ability of students in presenting ideas related to the subject that is
being studied based on mind mapping they created got3 (good). In summary, it is
proved that student were more active and gave more attention in the learning
process in the second cycle.
This research implemented learning with mindjet mind manager based
mind mapping. Based on the research, learning with mind mapping based on
mindjet mind manager may increase students’ understanding on the basic concept
of office management due to their achievement. In addition, in the first cycle the
research target about 75% students get score more than 70 has not been raised and
thus it was recycle. In the first cycle, there are 20 students (53%) who got grade
more than 70. It was presumably because they were in the stage of adjustment
with the change in teaching methods. The lecturer used to teach the courses of
office management by lecture and discussions. Hence, students weren’t usual in
using mindjet mind manager program to create mind mapping from the material
delivered by the lecturer. Only 20 students were able to use mindjet mind manager
program where as the remaining, 18 students, had less complete assignment in
creating their mind mapping. Therefore, the cycle need to be repeated.
In the second cycle, the number of students scoring above 70 increased to
32 out of 38 students (84%). Thus, research targets had been achieved, which was
75% of students get score more than 70. Therefore, the action was stopped in the
second cycle.
It is proved that learning management by the lecturer in the first cycle is
not optimal. Particularly in the main activity, that is delivering lesson in the
subject of definition and the function of office management through learning with
mind mapping based on mindjet mind manager. There was imperfection in using
media or learning method. This situation can be seen from the observer ratings as
much as 2 (sufficient). So, the lecturer was still awkward and less flexible in the
application of new learning methods. Besides, there was lack in delivering stage
in the learning process. For instance, in the first use of learning-based on mind
mapping by mindjet mind manager, lecturers should give a prior explanation to
the students on the benefits they gain when they did not go straight into practice.
Moreover, it was found that in the first cycle, the lecturer deliver unclear and
incoherent guidance to the students. This led to confusion for the students in
operating mindjet mind manager. Thus, the first cycle was repeated.
In the second cycle, there was an increase in the learning management by
lecturer. Accuracy in giving the introductory which was originally good become
excellent, intonation increased from good to excellent, good use of the language
become excellent. In the main activities, variations in the use of learning resources
increased from good to excellent because lecturers have started to make a variety
of learning resources for the students. Therefore, the students gain a better
material enrichment. Moreover, appropriate media usage increased from sufficient
to be good, and method application becomes good. Overall, the lecturers increased
their learning management in the second cycle.
Based on the research result, students’ intention to the lesson got score of
2 (sufficient). This condition occurred due to their adjustment phase that the used
to record the material only and they were asked to record in the mind mapping.
Students’ activeness in the learning process has not optimal, there were only 5

students that were active in asking question or answering question from the
lecturer. There was a lack of students’ cooperation, they were reluctant to ask their
friends. Moreover, some students cannot operate mindjet mind manager program,
and thus, the action in the first cycle should be repeated.
In the second cycle, the interest of the students to the courses increased
significantly from sufficient to be excellent, it can be seen on their seriousness in
the learning process. Besides, the ability of students to work using mind mapping
instrument by mindjet mind manager become excellent. This improvement can be
seen from the mind mapping they created. Students gave more respect on others
work, be more creative and have the courage to express his notions formed in the
learning process. They respect the work produced by their peers. In addition, the
students were honest and acknowledge their own ability in creating the mind
mapping. The students who found difficulties in making mind mapping were not
hesitate to ask their friends, and vice versa. The students who were able to make
mind mapping also had willingness to help their friends. Therefore, it is concluded
that character education strategy through learning with mind mapping based on
mindjet mind manager is highly effective in improving the students’
understanding on the basic concepts of office management. Besides, this method
can improve the ability of the lecturer in learning management on the basic
concepts of office management as well as increase students activeness and
attention during the learning process.
V. Conclusion
Based on the research results, it can be concluded that: 1) The
implementation of character education through learning with mind mapping based
on mindjet mind manager was conducted by theory and practice in the learning
process, and thus this implementation leads the students to be creative, appreciate
others work, honest, confident, dare to express the ideas and can create ideas; 2)
Learning by mindjet mind manager-based mind mapping is very effective in
improving student understanding on the basic concepts of office management.
Besides, this method improve students’ activeness and attention in the learning
process and also increase lecturer’s ability in the learning management.
There are several recommendation according to the research findings,
there are: 1) In implementing the learning with mind mapping based on mindjet
mind manager, it is suggested to provide the supporting infrastructure such as well
connected internet; 2) For a more optimal learning process, at the beginning of the
lecture the lecturer should give examples about how to use the program to the
students in coherent phases.
