<![CDATA[This article aims to examine the development of practical instructions based on Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) as an effort to improve students' learning outcomes and communication skills through a literature review approach. The writing of this article was motivated by the need for a learning model that not only focuses on cognitive aspects, but also strengthens communication skills and understanding concepts through learning experiences that are relevant to life contexts. The method used is a literature review by examining various appropriate research results, including articles in national journals indexed by SINTA (S1–S5) which discuss the application of CTL in practicum activities. Data were analyzed using a descriptive-comparative approach to reveal patterns, effectiveness, and supporting factors and challenges in implementing CTL in practicum-based learning. The results of the study show that CTL-based practicum guides consistently provide a positive impact on improving learning outcomes through active student involvement and direct learning experiences, as well as helping develop scientific communication skills. It is hoped that this article will become a reference source for educators and researchers in designing learning strategies that are contextual, collaborative, and in line with the competency needs of the 21st century.]]>
