Abstract:
The research is based on the students’ learning outcome in science which is still low
with average score 59,8 from minimum score 66. There are only 15 students from 28
students which reach the minimum score while the 13 other do not. To solve this
problem, one of learning model that can improve students’ learning outcome in
science is Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) where this learning model is one
of student-centered model and based on the constructivism view. In constructivism,
knowledge is built from students’ comprehension. This research is in the form of
Class Action Research (CAR). The purpose of this research is to improve students’
learning outcome in science at class VA SD Negeri 131 Pekanbaru. This research
shows that can improve students’ learning outcome in science. It can be identified
from students’ average score of their learning outcome which improve. In the first
cycle, students’ average score improve from 59,8 to 72,1, increased by 12,3%. In
second cycle, the students’ average score is 78,5, increased by 6,4%. In third cycle,
the students’ average score is 86,4, increased by 7,9%. The data analysis result of
students’ learning activity in first cycle is 37,50% in the first meeting and 50,00% in
the second meeting. In second cycle is 62,50% in the first meeting and 68,75% in the
second meeting. In third cycle is 81,25% in the first meeting and 87,50% in the
second meeting. It means that Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) can improve
students’ learning outcome in science at class VA SD Negeri 131 Pekanbaru.
