Abstract


Natural and Social Sciences (NSP) learning in elementary schools still faces challenges in connecting abstract concepts with students' real-life contexts. This research aims to improve the IPAS competence of phase A, B, and C students through a contextual teaching and learning (CTL) approach. Activities were carried out through community service at SD Negeri Kesamben 07 in February-June 2025 with the subject of phase A (grade 2), B (grade 3), and C (grade 5) students. The implementation method includes initial observations, designing contextual teaching tools, implementing hands-on learning, and evaluation through pretests and posttests. Results showed significant improvement: student learning completeness increased from 26-38% in the pretest to 95-100% in the posttest. Students showed better understanding of waste classification, landscape recognition, and flora and fauna distribution
