CTL-Based Quadrilateral Pocket Media For Geometry Learning In Junior High School

Abstract

Understandinggeometry at the junior high school level is crucial for improving students' numeracy literacy and critical thinking skills. However, geometry learning is often abstract and lacks conceptual understanding of real-world experiences, resulting in many students struggling to grasp the properties of plane structures and their application in everyday life. To address this challenge, a Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL)- based rectangular pocket media was developed that connects geometric concepts to students' real-world contexts. The aim of the research is to develop and implement CTL- based rectangular bag media to improve the understanding of geometric concepts, numeracy literacy, and critical thinking skills of junior high school student.
