This study aims to explore the effect of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) method on improving student learning outcomes in Civic Education subjects in grade IV of SD Negeri 09 Rangkang. The background of this study is the low student learning outcomes caused by the use of conventional learning methods that are less effective. The method used is classroom action research (CAR) with two cycles, involving 30 students as subjects. Data were collected through observation, tests, and student worksheets. The results showed that the application of the CTL method can significantly increase student active participation and their learning outcomes. The average student score increased from 70 in cycle I to 85 in cycle II. In conclusion, the CTL method is effective in improving student learning outcomes and can be a good alternative for teachers in teaching complex materials. This study recommends that teachers apply the CTL method consistently to improve the quality of learning in the classroom. Thus, the CTL method can be a practical solution to the problem of low learning outcomes in elementary schools and help create a more interesting and interactive learning environment for students.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Fiqh learning using the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach at MI Muhajirin. The type of research used is qualitative with a descriptive analytical approach. Data sources consist of primary and secondary data, which are obtained through observation, interview, and documentation data collection techniques. Data validity is guaranteed by triangulation techniques. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of CTL in Fiqh learning at MI Muhajirin is carried out in three stages: (1) initial activities that include introduction, (2) core activities, and (3) closing activities. Supporting factors in this learning include Fiqh reference books, teacher guidance, and parental support at home which also helps the learning process. The inhibiting factor is the difference in students' abilities in understanding the material, where there are students who understand quickly and some who need more time to grasp the lesson.

This study aims to analyze meaningful and effective learning assessments applied in the classroom. This research method uses Literature Review by reviewing 12 articles that are in accordance with the material discussed. The results showed that authentic assessments, which involve contextual and relevant tasks, were more effective in improving critical thinking skills than traditional assessments that focused on repetition of information. These findings are supported by Bloom's theory of constructivism and taxonomy, as well as previous studies that show that authentic assessment also increases learning motivation. Students are able to demonstrate what they understand about the learning carried out in accordance with the context of their lives. This will be effective if it is more formative that provides various information in the form of continuous feedback for teachers and students. The implication of this study is the importance of implementing authentic assessments in the curriculum and teaching strategies to maximize the development of students' critical thinking skills, in order to face the challenges of the 21st century.

Social skills are an important part of a humans ability to live, because social skills are very much needed in social life.

Encourages students to work in groups to find answers to questions based on concepts, the think pair share (TPS) approach is one of the instructional strategies that must be employed in teaching and learning activities. The low learning outcomes of students is one of the issues with PKn learning. This is because while lecturing and Q&A sessions are the most common teaching and learning methods used in classrooms, students' ability to ask questions and seek assistance from lecturers is still insufficient. This study aims to explain the TPS concept and its application to PKn learning in elementary schools. Cooperative learning approach using a contextual learning model (TPS) One of the most useful learning models for raising student response and learning results, particularly in PKn learning, is Think Pair Share.

Learning materials are not merely tools, but rather as the main source that provides important substance for learning. This concept is enriched by the view that learning materials are not only physical materials, but also something that carries meaningful messages to achieve teaching goals. Learning material on prayer jurisprudence, it can be seen that there is a gap in the approach which is still focused on declarative and procedural aspects. These materials do not yet reflect comprehensive Islamic education that can penetrate the emotional and spiritual dimensions. Therefore, there is a need to develop more meaningful prayer fiqh material by combining emotional and spiritual values ​​as additional material to support the goals of Islamic education that are in accordance with the principles of Islamic education. religious principles and Education laws. The emotional and spiritual intelligence material is prepared first according to the content of prayer jurisprudence. Ari Ginanjar's ESQ concept can be used as the main reference for this preparation. The results of the preparation are combined with existing prayer jurisprudence material. The results of this combination are then said to be the development of teaching materials, for example; The material on prayer intentions is given additional material on spiritual emotional intelligence which explains that intention contains the meaning that "Integrity is sincerity, honesty and commitment that grows from the impulse of one's conscience, not influenced by other factors". After the development of the teaching materials was ready, inquiry, contextual and expository learning strategies were chosen as relatively easier strategies in interpreting prayer fikh material based on the development of emotional and spiritual intelligence material.

Effective and efficient learning will encourage the achievement of educational goals. Learning must be managed well by paying attention to various strategies that are appropriate to the material being taught. One of them is a contextual learning strategy, which is deemed appropriate to the implementation of the curriculum. Contextual learning is a learning concept that helps teachers link the material taught with students' real-world situations and make connections between the knowledge they have and its application in real life. This learning emphasizes the process rather than the results, so that knowledge is formed in real terms by what is done and not just by memorizing concepts. According to contextual learning, knowledge will be meaningful when it is discovered and built by students themselves. For this, teachers need to understand students' learning types so that their teaching style can adapt to students' learning styles

Curriculum is an educational plan that describes all the learning experiences provided to students in an educational institution. This curriculum covers philosophy, values, knowledge and attitudes towards life, and is prepared by academics/curriculum experts, scientists, educators, education officials, entrepreneurs and other members of society. This research method uses a qualitative approach that guides the process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting observations. By using this qualitative research method the author tries to describe the results of the research by collecting data that supports the research using articles and books related to the title exploring spiritual meaning in the Christian Religious Education curriculum.
