Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) Module to Improve Conceptual Understanding and Practical Skills in Vocational Accounting

Accounting learning in vocational high schools requires innovative strategies that enable students to master both conceptual understanding and practical skills. The use of a structured and systematic teaching module offers an effective alternative to achieve this goal, especially when designed to support self-directed learning. This study aims to develop a Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL)-based teaching module through the Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research involved eleventh-grade students of SMK Negeri 2 Trenggalek as participants. The results of this study indicate that in terms of learning media, the module obtained an average score of 4.54; the material aspect 4.56; and the benefits aspect 4.38. All three are in the "very appropriate" category, with an overall average of 4.53. The findings of this study demonstrate the consistency of the module's quality, as indicated by all aspects obtaining the "very appropriate" category. This confirms that the CTL-based teaching module for the Productive Accounting subject has met high standards of appropriateness from the students' perspective.
