<![CDATA[This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Contextual Teaching and Learning method in improving student learning outcomes in Islamic Education at SMP Negeri 7 Kaway. The research design used was a quasi-experimental, with two groups: the experimental group that received learning through the CTL method, and the control group that followed the conventional learning method. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test, classroom observation, and interviews with students, teachers, and parents. The results showed a significant increase in the post-test scores of the experimental group, with an average increase of 20 points, compared to an increase of 9 points in the control group. Observations showed that students in the experimental group were more active in participating in learning activities and showed a better understanding of the material. Interviews revealed that the CTL method helped students connect the material to their life experiences, making the learning process more relevant and meaningful. These findings indicate that the Contextual Teaching and Learning method is an effective approach to improving student learning outcomes in Islamic Education. This study emphasizes the importance of interactive learning methods that are student-centered and connect academic material to real-world contexts. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that educators implement CTL strategies to increase student engagement, critical thinking, and application of knowledge in everyday life.]]>
