The Students’ Perception on Teaching Narrative Writing Skills through Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) Approach

This research is a pre-experimental study involving an experimental class which aims to determine the effectiveness of learning through the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) Approach in learning mathematics in class VII students of Al Hikmah Integrated Islamic Middle School, Pangkep Regency, 2021/2022 academic year. While the effectiveness of learning is viewed from three aspects, namely: the implementation of learning, classical learning completeness, student activity, and student responses. A learning is said to be effective if at least three of the four aspects above are met, provided that aspects of student activity and classical learning mastery are met. Student scores after learning mathematics through the application of the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach have achieved classical mastery. The average positive student activity is 85.7% and 12.5% negative, this indicates that student activity in learning mathematics through the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach can be said to be active. Student responses to learning the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach can be said to be in accordance with the standards set, namely exceeding 75% of students who gave a positive response. Based on the results of descriptive and inferential analysis, it shows that student learning outcomes before learning the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach are smaller than student learning outcomes after learning the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach, thus learning mathematics through the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach is effectively used on the subject of Algebra in class students VII Al Hikmah Integrated Islamic Middle School, Pangkep Regency.

The implementation of contextual teaching and learning approach has been widely used in English writing instruction in Indonesia. However, there is still a lack of study exploring the efficacy of applying Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach to teaching analytical exposition writing. Therefore, the study aims to look into the effects of CTL approach on the achievement of eleventh grade students’ analytical exposition writing skill and students’ perceptions on the advantages and challenges toward learning with the approach. The participants were 35 eleventh grade students with mixed-English ability. The method of study was mixed method research which employed quantitative and qualitative instruments. The quantitative instruments were analytical exposition writing pre-test and post-test, and three questionnaires. In contrast, the qualitative instrument was semi-structured interview. The findings of this study indicate that the contextual teaching and learning approach significantly improves students’ analytical exposition writing skill at the 0.05 level. In addition, students also revealed to have positive perceptions toward the CTL approach as it could provide them to write analytical exposition text with the topic that was relevant to their real-life experience, thus making them to have strong understanding of the topic and good content knowledge. To sum up, this study can provide valuable insights for writing teachers to tailor their instruction and writing lesson in analytical exposition text to align with students’ real-life experiences. As a result, students’ comprehension of the subject matter and its relevance can be greatly improved. Thus, it is advisable that contextual teaching and learning be encouraged to be applied in the classroom to assist students’ improvement in writing analytical exposition texts.

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach in enhancing Indonesian EFL secondary learners’ narrative writing skills and the perception of Indonesian EFL secondary schools toward applying the CTL approach. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with fifty-two eleventh-grade students as participants. The participants were divided into two groups; An experimental group received the CTL approach, and a control group received the conventional way. This study utilized a pre-posttest and perceptional questionnaire. Nonparametric tests (i.e., Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon test) were run to analyze the data in this study. The Man-Whitney U test indicated a significant difference between the mean score for the experimental group with the CTL approach and the control group without the CTL approach (9.86 > 10.12). Meanwhile, the Wilcoxon test illustrated that the leading score of the pre-test (10.14) and the post-test (16.05) in the experimental group differ significantly. Implementation of the CTL approach through its components positively contributes to teaching narrative writing skills. Meanwhile, the perceptional questionnaires showed that the students' experiment group perceived the implementation of the CTL Approach positively. This study results render teachers’ insight into a practical approach to teaching writing to be able to teach narrative writing.

Over the last ten years, many studies have discussed the effect of implementing the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) and Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approaches on students' mathematical communication ability. However, these studies show inconsistent results. This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing the RME learning approach, the effect of implementing the CTL approach, and the difference in the effect of implementing the RME learning approach compared to the CTL approach on students' mathematical communication ability. This research used a quantitative approach with a meta-analysis method. The search for research articles with publication years from 2012 to 2022 was carried out using several databases, namely DOAJ, ERIC, Google Scholar, IOP Publishing, Garuda Portal, Semantic Scholar, and national journals link. Using the PRISMA protocol, the authors obtained 15 research articles on RME and 14 research articles on CTL that met the inclusion criteria and could be used in this study. The results of this study showed that the implementation of the RME learning approach has a moderate influence (g = 0,820) on students' mathematical communication ability, and the implementation of the CTL approach has a strong influence (g = 1,017) on students' mathematical communication ability. There is no significant difference between the effect of the RME learning approach's implementation and the CTL approach's effect on students' mathematical communication ability (Q_value = 2,329, p_value = 0,127). Therefore, the RME and CTL learning approaches can be used as learning alternatives that aim to enhance students' mathematical communication ability.
