A teacher is a person who teaches in school rather than, especially helps others to shows knowledge, competence, and value, playing a role of half mother and father. Concept mapping instructional approach as an activator of students� performance in the teaching and learning of excretion was investigated. The quasi-experimental design was employed. Purposive sampling technique was used to select three intact biology classes of Senior High School 2 students with a total sample size of 108. The two main instruments used for data collection were General Knowledge in Biology Performance Test (GKBPT) and Students� Performance Test in Excretion (SPTE) with K-R 20 reliability coefficient of 0.812 and 0.866 respectively. Point Bi-serial Correlation, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, effect size, chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis H test were employed to analyze the quantitative data collected using the students� achievement scores. The study showed that the effect size of the students� performance in the concept mapping of the post-test scores was better than that of the pre-test scores. The instructional approach did not only improve students� achievement in the biology course but also helped the students to retain the concept learned for a longer period. Based on the result, recommendations have been made
