As children learn to read more advanced texts, they must learn the meaning of new words that are not part of their oral vocabulary. Therefore the researcher studied the teaching through mind map technique in development of vocabulary knowledge in the subject of English at primary level. The objectives for the present study were, 1. To develop Mind Maps on Vocabulary (MMV) in English at primary level. 2. To study the effectiveness of the MMV on students in the subject of English at primary level. 3. To study the effectiveness of MMV with reference to their Gender. 5. To study the opinion of primary level students and teachers towards mind maps on vocabulary in the subject of English. Hypotheses framed for the present study were; HO1: There will be no significant difference between the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test scores achieved by the students at experimental stage. HO2: There will be no significant between differences between the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test achieved by the boy students at experimental stage HO3: There will be no significant between differences between the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test achieved by the girl students at experimental stage HO4: - There will be no significant difference between the mean scores of the pre-test with respect to boys and girls HO-5: There will be no significant difference between the mean scores of the post-test with respect to boys and girls HO6: There will be positive opinion of students and teachers towards MMV in the subject of English at primary level. The researcher applied random sampling method for her study. He was selected 40 samples from Navajyoti primary English medium school, Kalaburagi. Among 40 students 20 boys and 20 girls were selected randomly. The researcher also selected 10 teachers for collecting their opinion of MMV in the subject. The researcher used parametric tests like, mean, standard deviation, t-test for data analysis. The scores of pre test and post test achievement scores of students were analyzed with graphical representation. Students and Teachers responses were analyzed by opinion scale and graphical representation. Findings of the studies ware the learning through MMV in English is more effective with reference to students of the experimental group.
