Abstract
Effects of the Contextual Teaching and Learning Approach on the Learning
Achievement in Indonesian Language Reading Comprehension of Year IV Students
of Elementary Schools. This study aims to investigate effects of the Contextual
Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach on learning achievement in Indonesian
language reading comprehension of groups of students based on their learning
motivation. This study was an experimental study employing a 2x2 factorial
design. The independent variable had two levels, i.e. the CTL approach and the
conventional approach. The population comprised all 61 Year IV students of SDN
Sidoarum and SDN Krapyak. The instruments consisted of an achievement test and
a learning motivation questionnaire. The data were analyzed by means of a twoway
ANOVA and the Scheffe test. The results show that (1) there is a difference in
learning achievement between the students in the experimental group and those in
the control group, (2) there is a difference in learning achievement between
students with high motivation in the experimental group and those in the control
group, (3) there is a difference in learning achievement between students with low
motivation in the experimental group and those in the control group, (4) the CTL
approach is more effective than the conventional approach, and (5) there is no
interaction between approaches and learning motivation.
