Increasing Students’ Activities and Abilities of Spatial Visualization material Using CTL Method for Class VI SDN Genengan 01

Abstract

In the ever-growing digital era, the integration Spatial Visualization in education and daily lifes are becoming increasingly important to improve students' competional thinking abilities and problem solving skills. One effective approach is the use of CTL in leaning Spatial Visualization . This research aims to examine the effect of using CTL on students' activities and abilities in learning Spatial Visualization . The method used is quantitative experimentation with a pretest-posttest design for the experimental class and control class. The research sample consisted of 50 grade 6 elementary school students at SDN Genengan 01 who were randomly divided into experimental classes and control classes. The experimental group used CTL in the learning process, while the control group used a conventional learning model. The instruments used include pretest and posttest . Data analysis was carried out using the t test to determine significant differences between the two groups. The research results show that students who learn about Spatial Visualization using CTL have significant improvements in active and abilities compared to students who learn Spatial Visualization using conventional learning model. This research indicates that the integration of CTL is effective in improving students activities and abilities in learning Spatial Visualization .
