The teaching and learning process is the most important part in education, in which there are teachers as teachers and students who are learning. The teaching and learning process occurs when there is interaction between students and the learning environment arranged by the teacher to achieve teaching goals. The learning process requires the right method. Errors in using the method can hinder the achievement of the desired educational goals. Therefore, in improving the quality of the teaching and learning process, teachers need to apply learning models, one of which is Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). In Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) students learn through experience, remembering that knowledge is not from a fact and a concept that is ready to be accepted, but something that must be constructed by students. With this concept, it is hoped that learning outcomes are expected to be more meaningful for students. Because the learning process takes place naturally in the form of student activities working and experiencing, not transferring knowledge from teacher to student. The learning process is more important than the results.
Every human being was created by the Creator with all the uniqueness and characteristics or characteristics of each. This is referred to as individual differences (individual differences). Individual differences are differences in abilities and characteristics (cognitive, personality, physical skills, etc.) between students at a certain age level and in each particular group. Through educational practices and activities, we can accommodate the individual differences of students. Likewise, the learning styles of each other are also different. There are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. The differences in students have big implications for learning in schools. Therefore, education personnel, especially a teacher, must know and understand the differences in students to design learning with appropriate methods, models, and approaches. If learning is carried out by paying attention to differences in students, then the delivery and acquisition of knowledge can be carried out optimally. Thus, learning objectives can be achieved without having to put pressure on students. In addition, the teacher's understanding of individual differences in students can foster a comfortable feeling for learning at school.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
