CTL involves relating academic subjects to real-world situations to motivate students and help them apply knowledge to their lives. The goal is to capture students' attention by illustrating relevance. CTL occurs when students process new information in a way that makes sense based on their own life experiences, not through rote memorization or teacher-dominated goals. Learning theories that support CTL include motivation theory, problem-centered learning, social learning theory, learning styles, and brain research.

1. Contextual Teaching and
Learning

2. •Definition of CTL
• …is a conception of teaching and learning that
helps teachers relate subject matter content
to real world situations; and motivates
students to make connections between
knowledge and its applications to their lives as
family members, citizens, workers and engage
in the hard work that learning requires.

3. • The goal and effect of a contextualized
approach is to capture a student’s attention by
illustrating the relevance of learning
experiences.

4. Let’s study the illustration
The student’s The students were
writing score were assigned to publish a
poor. trade journal.
Project Guidelines:
1. Students write five occupation-related articles in English.
2. Students are assigned to groups of four per journal.

5. •From the illustration, CTL is Not:
1. a lecturer-only method of teaching,
2. busy-work or activity for activity sake,
3. doing the questions at the end of the
chapter,
4. rote memorization,
5. teacher dominated goal-setting,
6. paper and pencil tests.

6. • Contextual learning occurs only when
students process new information or
knowledge in such a way that it makes sense
to the in thir own frames of references.

7. Learning Theories that support CTL are:
• Motivation Theory
• Problem-Centered Learning
• Social Learning Theory
• Learning Styles
• Brain Reseatch

8. Motivation Theory
• According to Harris, “ The basic format of
andragogical model is a process design that uses
life experiences.”
• Svinicki suggest that instructor address the
following issues:
1. Increase the value of the learning to the learner
2. Increase the learner’s self-efficacy with regard to
the task.

9. Problem-Centered Learning
• It address students’ engagement with real-
world problem-solving to develop a “dee[-
foundation of factual knowledge and
understand that knowledge in the context of a
conceptual framework, and finally to facilitate
the development of metacognitive skills.
