Students can be expected to think critically in solving problems in learning. In the context of learning this CTL method encourages students to find and explore their own knowledge. So that it can increase students learning motivation because basically the CTL method contains the principle of questioning, with this principle students, are more active as recipients, and there feedback during the learning process. And this is what motivates students to learn because they get their own knowledge.Keywords: Learning Method, Contextual Teaching and Learning, Motivation
