Daftar Isi:
- The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) in reducing and improving learning outcomes and math anxiety among students at a private elementary school in Indonesia. The research utilized a one-group control pre-posttest design with a sample of 51 4th-grade students. The study used a combination of pre-test and post-test and a closed-ended questionnaire as the data collection instruments. The independent variable in the study was CTL, while the dependent variables were learning outcomes and math anxiety. The paired t-test showed a significant increase in the students' average learning outcomes and a decrease in the average math anxiety levels. The findings suggest that implementing CTL is a practical approach to reducing math anxiety and improving student learning outcomes.
