This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Lambheu on the topic of plant body parts, as indicated by the failure to achieve the Learning Objective Achievement Criteria (KKTP) of 75 due to less varied, passive learning models that did not connect material to daily life. This study aimed to describe the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model to improve teacher activity, student activity, and student learning outcomes. The method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a qualitative approach conducted in two cycles comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection, involving 27 fourth-grade students. Data were collected through teacher activity observation, student activity observation, and learning outcome tests, and were analyzed descriptively. The results showed an improvement in both learning process quality and outcomes. Student activity increased from 2.85 (good) in Cycle I to 3.80 (very good) in Cycle II, teacher activity from 3.64 to 3.86 (very good), and the average learning outcome from 60.56 with 40.7% classical mastery to 80.19 with 81.4% classical mastery. It is concluded that the CTL model is effective in improving student activities and learning outcomes
