The purpose of this research is to enhance student learning outcomes through the use of contextual teaching and learning. The method of this research is the action research done in class outlined as Kemmis and McTaggart. This model is a dynamic process describing improvement in a spiral of steps composing of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The result shows that there was an increase of arithmetic mean test scores from 61.5 in cycle 1 to 67.2 in cycle 2 with t test= 2.114. Due to this result was still lower than the target, so the research was continued to the cycle 3. There were also learning gains from 67.2 in cycle 2 to 76.2 in cycle 3. This result is higher than the desired success target with t test= 3.267 showing that it is statistically significant at the 0.05 level. It can be concluded that student learning outcomes can be enhanced through the use of contextual teaching and learning. Application of contextual teaching and learning in teaching and learning process can give the opportunities for the students to express their ideas freely, have creative thinking, and use their knowledge comprehensively so that the student learning outcomes will be increasing.
