The implementation of the rigorous, complex Common Core State Standards (CCSS) has prompted schools to initiate change in traditional organizational structures.  The CCSS have required teachers to have a deeper understanding of subject matter and specialized content instruction to effectively teach the standards.  There is a vast amount of research on educational change as related to school improvement, however, this research analyzed how schools create a context for change to implement a new innovation and improve the learning environment.   The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative hybrid schedule in improving student learning outcomes and school culture.  This mixed-method research study used data generated by the Stages of Concern Questionnaire (SoCQ), AdvancEd®’s Stakeholder Feedback Survey, ACT Aspire® Student Achievement Tests, and  teacher interviews.  The conceptual framework of the case study was based on the five attributes of the PLCs identified through the work of Shirley M. Hord (2004) and Michael Fullan’s Educational Change Theory (2007).   The results of this study indicated the implemented innovation had a significant impact on school culture based on the two administrations of the AdvancEd®’s Stakeholder Feedback Survey.  Additionally, student learning outcomes measured by ACT Aspire® Reading and Mathematics Student Achievement Tests showed statistically significant improvements in both reading and math.  Lastly, the analysis of teacher interviews supported the findings in the quantitative data.

                                                       ABSTRACT Implementation of learning at the university level is expected to be conducted interactively and motivate students to participate actively in learning activities. But the reality in learning, still found learning problems about the low learning activities and student learning outcomes. While as an educator, lecturers should be able to know the problems in the learning process or lectures as an effort to improve the quality of learning. Solution to overcome the problem is by giving learning with Contextual Teaching and Learning approach (CTL) through observation method applied in Basic Ecology subject.The purpose of this research is to improve student achievement in Basic Ecology subject through learning with CTL approach and observation method. Expectations from the results of this study is as an information or input that the strategy and learning model with the method of observation can overcome the lack of activity and low student learning outcomes caused by the dominance of female students and the diversity of high school students so that the classroom climate is often noisy and reduced concentration at the time of learning. This research is experimental research, with one class of experiment of Biology student of FKIP Univet Bantara Sukoharjo second semester of class of 2016/2017 taking Basic Ecology subject. The data were collected using observation and test sheets. Technique of data analysis using T test analysis. From the analysis with T test Paired sample for two groups of dependent or pairs on pretest and postes data obtained Asymp results. Sig (2 -tailled) below 0.05 is 0.00 then Ho is rejected. This means that there are significant differences in learning outcomes before (pretest) and after CTL learning with the method of Observation (postes) in Basic Ecology subject especially on the subject matter of Population and Bird Diversity. Thus, it can be concluded that learning CTL with Observation method can improve student achievement in Basic Ecology subject especially material Population or bird diversity.
