The background of this study was more specifically related to the contextual approach: linking science with daily life, which could help improve students’ understanding on aqidah/creed materials, their ability to think, and their learning experiences. Thus, the students could implement them in real life. The study conducted in Class X of MAN Model Banda Aceh, aimed at investigating the implementation of the contextual approach, the application of the contextual approach which could increase the understanding of the Aqidah concept, and the understanding of Aqidah concept of the students taught using the contextual approach and the conventional approach. The research employed quantitative descriptive with quasi experimental method. Data were collected by essay pretest and essay posttest, teachers’ and students’ observation, and documentation. The research findings showed that the implementation of the contextual approach on aqidah learning covered the scope of Aqidah Islam and sub-materials such as the definitions, and the principles of aqidah. The learning method of aqidah included using seven components of the contextual approach: constructivism, inquiry, modeling, frequently asked questions, group learning, modeling, and real judgment. The teaching and learning activities were carried out through discussions in accordance with the lesson plans. Further, the observation analysis of the teachers’ ability level (TKG) showed that the descriptive statistics of the teaching activity was 4.51≤TKG t1-α or 15.38> 1.6923, making Ho rejected and Ha accepted. It can be meant that the students’ posttest was better that the pretest. Moreover, the learning outcomes of the aqidah learning of the students of Class X IPA 2 and Class X IPA 5 reflected that those taught with the contextual outperformed those with the conventional learning, as shown here based on the significance level α = 0.05 and degree of freedom (df) = 66. The ttable obtained was t_(0,975)(66) = 1.997 so that tcount < ttable (0.59 µ2 was accepted.

Teaching and learning practices today are often found problems such as the use of models that are still minimal and not in accordance with the characteristics of students. Generally teachers teach using only conventional learning models, while the Kurikulum 2013 requires students to be able to think at a high level. This can certainly be achieved by applying learning models such as Problem Based Learning and Contextual Teaching and Learning in the learning process. This study aims to compare the learning outcomes of the two models in Class X Geography in SMAN 5 Banda Aceh. The research method uses a quantitative approach to the type of experimental research that is quasi-experimental design with the initial assumption that learning outcomes taught using Problem Based Learning are better than those taught using Contextual Teaching and Learning. The population in this study were all grade X students at SMAN 5 Banda Aceh. Sampling using a purposive sampling by considering the initial ability of students is the same. Samples were taken as many as two classes totaling 46 students. Hypothesis testing techniques using non-parametric statistical tests according to Mann-Whitney (U test) using the Z test because the sample> 20. The results obtained from the results of the U Test namely Zhitung = 5.81 and at a significance level of 5%, obtained Ztable = 1.65. So it is obtained Zhitung> Ztabel so accept Ha. Thus, it can be concluded that learning outcomes of students taught with Problem Based Learning (PBL) are better than Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) in Geography Class X in SMAN 5 Banda Aceh

<p class="Abstract">Instructional method is an important aspect of teaching and learning to determine the activities of teachers and students. Appropriate instructional methods influence many motivational variables of learners such as a tendency to think critically. This research aims to determine the effects of usage of instructional methods for training students’ thinking skill on environmental learning. This study is the quasi-experimental design of post-test only. Two equivalent student groups in secondary school were offered a topic on environmental learning with different instructional methods. The instructional methods were laboratory method and discussion method. The teacher was given to the first group using laboratory method, while the second group was given using discussion method. The effectiveness of different instructional methods was measured quantitatively by an achievement test. The analysis result of post-test showed that there was significantly different between the first group and the second group at a significance level of 0.05 for the interest of the first group. According to these findings, we suggest applying laboratory method instead of discussion method for training students’ thinking skill on environmental learning.</p>

During hurricane season, maps that track predicted storm paths are commonly seen on television and the Internet. The Weather Channel often receives number-one viewership ratings in regions encountering a major weather event, such as a hurricane or tornado (Kloer 2001). Mathematics teachers can tap into students' curiosity and interest about hurricanes to develop their understanding of mathematical ideas within a real-life context. In this article, we discuss observations and findings after implementing mathematics tasks based on data about hurricanes. Finding patterns and relationships, creating and interpreting graphs, and examining rates of change are just a few of the topics that can be studied. We developed these tasks as part of the Students' Transition Toward Algebra project and have used them with both middle school teachers and students.
