Abstract :This paper discusses how the Memory Pegged Mind Mapping (MPMM) method can be utilized for the analysis of narrative texts. Content analysis, a part of qualitative research methods, systematically examines meanings and themes within texts. Narrative texts serve as significant tools for individuals to convey experiences and emotions, offering rich and layered meanings through their analysis. The MPMM method is a technique that aids researchers in organizing and visualizing information and ideas, helping them retain key points effectively. It contributes to the systematic identification of themes and motifs in narrative texts. The article emphasizes the importance of narrative texts within the context of Turkish language courses and details the application of the MPMM method for their analysis. Additionally, it explains how fundamental elements of narrative texts can be analyzed by integrating mind mapping and memory peg techniques. The analyses conducted using MPMM are expected to enhance students\' deeper understanding of texts and foster their critical thinking skills. This method can effectively serve as a tool to improve students\' reading and writing abilities, offering innovative approaches in education. In conclusion, the use of MPMM in narrative text analysis enriches qualitative research methods and facilitates a deeper understanding of narrative texts. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on the application of MPMM in education and research, contributing to academic studies and teaching processes.
