ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya aktivitas dan hasil belajar IPA siswa kelas IV di salah satu SD Kota Bandung. Hal ini ditunjukkan dari kurangnya partisipasi siswa dalam proses pembelajaran dan sebanyak 68,97% siswa mendapat nilai di bawah KKM pada mata pelajaran IPA. Masalah ini terjadi karena guru dalam proses pembelajaran belum menerapkan strategi belajar inovatif. Pembelajaran masih bersifat konvensional sehingga belum mampu mendorong siswa untuk terlibat aktif dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan aktivitas dan hasil belajar siswa dengan menerapkan pendekatan kontekstual. Metode yang digunakan yaitu penelitian tindakan kelas model spiral dari Kemmis dan Taggart. Partisipan pada penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas IV sebanyak 29 siswa. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus. Masing-masing siklus terdiri dari tahap plan
(perencanaan), act and observe (tindakan dan observasi), dan reflect (refleksi).

This problem occurs because the teacher in the learning process have yet to implement innovative learning strategies. Learning is still conventional so as not to encourage the students to be actively involved in learning activities. Therefore, this study aims to improve the activity and student learning outcomes by applying a contextual approach. The method used is action research spiral model of Kemmis and Taggart.

To collect the data, this study was used test by using a booklet for learning outcomes, then the execution and student activities used participant observation techniques by using observation sheets, and documentation as a clear evidence of research activities. Data analysis technique used is the technique of qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results showed that the application of contextual approach can increase the activity which includes visual activities amounted to 100%, oral activities (ask a quolestion) by 65.52%, and express opinions of 82.76%, amounting to 96.55% of motor activities, and writing activities amounted to 79.31 % in the second cycle and learning outcomes of students who have achieved success indicator amounted to 86.21% in the second cycle.
