Biology is one of the subjects at the secondary school that is studied by means of memorizing the material. As for the Biological material at the level of secondary school that demands a lot of memorizing the material one, namely the nervous system. The material is not only the nervous system require an appropriate learning strategy in the study, but also required also a Biology textbook that is able to help students in remembering the concepts found in the nervous system. By using this textbook, the students are expected to be given to the study of Biological material especially on the nervous system more easily and can be stored in their long-term memory. The purpose of this research is to know the effectiviness Biology textbook-based mnemonic strategies-assisted method of mind mapping against learning retention of students. This research is research development. The subject of research is the students of Class XI SMAN Pakusari Jember Indonesia 2017/2018 academic year. The technique of data collection was in the form of test. The technique of data analysis was using the formula recognition method. The results showed that the textbook Biology-based mnemonic strategies-assisted method of mind mapping effective against retention of student learning with student retention criteria very well.
