Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach on improving students’ communication skills on the material of understanding Pancasila in class III SDN Sukamulya 03, Bekasi Regency. The research method used was a quantitative pre-experiment with a One Group Pretest Posttest Design research design. The study population included all 32 third-grade students, while the sample consisted of 25 students selected using purposive sampling. Data collection techniques included observation, testing, and documentation. The average posttest score was 77.00, higher than the pretest score of 47.80. The average observation score for students' oral communication skills at the third meeting was 93.20, higher than the first meeting's score of 67.80. The data analysis technique used was the Paired Sample T-Test. From the results of the hypothesis test with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics 27, the t value was obtained at -36.500. This value indicates a large average difference between the pretest and posttest scores. The significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) is <0.001, smaller than the standard significance level of α = 0.05. The results show Sig. (2-tailed) <0.05 (H0 is rejected) so that there is a significant influence between before and after treatment. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach has a significant effect on improving students' communication skills in the material of understanding Pancasila.
