Abstrak:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap pengaruh model pembelajaran kontekstual terhadap hasil belajar bahasa Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitaif komparatif dengan metode eksperimen. Kelompok eksperimen menggunakan model pembelajaran kontekstual sedangkan kelompok kontrol menggunakan model pembelajaran ekspositori. Penelitian dilaksanakan di SMK Negeri 17 Jakarta pada bulan September – November 2013. Sampel dari penelitian ini adalah siswa SMK kelas XI jurusan Administrasi Perkantoran sebanyak 36 siswa. Pemilihan kelompok dilakukan secara acak sederhana. Hasil perhitungan rata-rata hasil belajar Bahasa Indonesia pada kelas eksperimen sebesar 21,06, sedangkan pada kelas kontrol sebesar 18,72. Hasil pengujian normalitas data dengan dengan uji Liliefors diperoleh data kedua kelompok berdistribusi normal. Hasil pengujian homogenitas menggunakan uji Bartlett diperoleh data kedua kelompok homogen. Uji hipotesis dilakukan dengan menggunakan Uji t dengan taraf signifikan á = 0,05. Dari hasil pengujian diperoleh nilai th = 1,75 > t (0,05, 34) = 1,69, thitung > ttabel, sehingga diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa penerapan model pembelajaran kontekstual terbukti lebih efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar bahasa Indonesia siswa SMK.Kata kunci: model pembelajaran, kontekstual, ekspositori, bahasa IndonesiaAbstract:This research aims to reveal about the impact of contextual learning models towards learning achievement in Indonesian Language. This research uses quantitative comparative approach with experimental method. Contextual teaching and learning (CTL) model was implemented for experimental group and expository model teaching and learning was implemented for control group. The research was conducted at the Vocational School (SMK) 17 Jakarta on September- November 2013. Samples from this study were 36 vocational school students class XI majoring in Office Administration. Sample selected by simple random sampling. Data were collected using learning output test. The result of the study was analyzed with t-test. Calculations showed average score for experiment class were 21,06, while the control class is 18,72. Both data were normally distributed and had homogeny variances. Hypotesis test using ttest at significance level á = 0,05 in t value 1,75 which was higher than F table 1,69, so it is concluded that contextual learning model had proven to be effective in improving learning outcomes of Indonesian Language. To determine the learning model that will be used in the classroom, teachers also need to consider the student characteristics and competence..Keywords: learning model, contextual, expository, bahasa.
