Improving Students' Learning Achievement In Indonesian Language Learning Through The Contextual Teaching And Learning (Ctl) Learning Model

Abstract

This study aims to describe the application of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) learning model in an effort to improve student learning achievement in Indonesian language subjects in Islamic Elementary Schools. The background of the study shows indications of low learning achievement and lack of student involvement in Indonesian language learning which has tended to be conventional. The CTL model was chosen because of its potential in linking teaching materials to the real-life context of students, so it is expected to be able to create more meaningful and effective learning. This study uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. The subjects of the study were fourth-grade students of Islamic Elementary Schools and Indonesian language teachers. The results of the study indicate that the application of the CTL learning model successfully created an active and interactive learning atmosphere, and was able to improve students' understanding and motivation to learn Indonesian language subjects. The conclusion of this study is that the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) learning model is an effective and relevant approach to improving Indonesian language learning achievement in students by emphasizing meaningful and contextual learning experiences.
