Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly affected the education system worldwide, which was force to respond with a sudden shift to distance learning. During this pandemic, teachers have a challenge to improve students^ concept mastery and students^ creativity through online learning. This research aims to determine the application of Draw IO as digital mind map to improve students^ concept mastery and students^ creativity. Draw IO is a diagram tools that is the most flexible in making flowchart process diagrams, mind mapping, org charts, UML, ER diagrams, network diagrams, and more. This research using pre experimental method with one group pre test and post test design in one of the private schools in Bandung Barat which use Cambridge Curricullum. There were 29 students of secondary 3 level who are participated on this research. Creativity was measured on four aspect which are fluency, flexibility, originality, and ellaboration. The result showed that most of the students still on moderate level which means that the creativity shows good enough quality. Meanwhile, the result about students^ concept mastery which was measured by cognitive test were showed the improvement with N-gain is 0.42 and categorized as medium improvement. The siginificancy value on the hypothesis test is less than 0.05. It indicates that there are significant different in students^ concept mastery on learning human influence on ecosystems by using Draw IO as digital mind map. Based on the result, Draw IO can be used as learning tools for improving students^ concept mastery and students^ creativity.

Keywords: Draw.IO as Digital Mind Map, Students Concept Mastery, Students^ Creativity , and Human Influnces on Ecosystems
