Implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) Approach Through Student-Produced Video Learning Materials at SMPN 1 Tanjunganom Nganjuk

Abstract

This research aims to explore the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach through the production of video lessons by seventh-grade students at SMPN 1 Tanjunganom, Nganjuk Regency. A qualitative research method was employed, utilizing interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that student learning outcomes improved following the implementation of CTL-based video production. Furthermore, the study observed a significant increase in student engagement and enthusiasm during the learning process. This heightened interest is attributed to the hands-on experience of producing short educational videos. The incorporation of video production in learning activities also suggests a potential enhancement of students' higher-order thinking skills.
