important component in improving teaching quality. One way to improve the
teaching quality is by applying various innovative strategies. One of the
innovative teaching strategies is contextual learning. Contextual teaching
strategy is a teaching strategy which emphasize on students’ activity in
learning, so that students can memorize the material for longer time and can
get better achievement. This research aimed to figure out the improvement of
students’ achievement in Human Reproduction Concept at MTs Negeri 1

planning, acting, observing and reflecting. Test was conducted at the end of
each cycle. Data was analyzed qualitatively by using descriptive statistic. The
result shows that the average of cycle 1 increased from 70,00 to 76,09 at cycle
2. Students give positive responses 72,28%; 75, 82%; 73,39% and 71,16% to attention indicator, interest
indicator, possitive belief indicator and satisfaction indicator (agreement
scale) respectively. Finally, it is recommended that contextual learning is
suitable to be used in Human Reproduction Concept. Nevertheless, contextual
learning strategy shouldn’t be applied continously to different materials to
avoid student’s boredom.
