1. Mathematics as one of the basic science is also one of the main subjects taught in
schools, with the aim that the students have the ability to think
logically, critically, carefully, and analytical and have the skills to solve problems in
everyday life.
2. Based on this observation, it turns out the results of student learning, especially
mathematics courses is still very low, this might be due to the time available for
mathematics courses is very limited. Moreover, because mathematics is considered
difficult and the learning process has not been used in accordance with the learning
styles of children, causing students to be passive, bored, lazy and unmotivated to
participate in a math lesson well.

6. E. Term Limits
1. Contextual learning is learning that uses a variety of contextual issues as a starting
point, in such a way that students learn to use the knowledge and ability to solve
various problems.
2. Quantum Learning is a way of learning that suppresses the ability of students to obtain
lessons using learning styles visual, and kinesthetic audiotorial. Quantum learning is
defined as an accelerator to learn is to enable students to learn at an impressive pace,
with a normal effort and has fun.
3. Learning style is visual learning style pass through of what is seen.
4. Learning outcomes are the capabilities of the student after he received the experience
of learning.
5. Learning is a learning process that is conditioned in a certain atmosphere for students
to obtain learning outcomes.
7. F. Scope of Research
In order for this research focus and research objectives achieved, the problems in the study
was limited to studies conducted in class VII Bengkulu City Junior High School 5
academic Year 2011/2012
9. A. The essence of Learning Mathematics
Learning is a human process to achieve a wide range of competencies, skills and
attitudes. Learning begins from birth until the end of human life. According to Morgan
(Baharuddin, 2007: 14) suggests that learning is a change in behavior that is relatively
fixed and occur as a result of training and experience. By studying the human will
experience a change towards a better purpose and beneficial to himself and others.
Learnibg of mathematics is the process of teaching and learning in the delivery and
presentation of the material used elements are interrelated and influence to instill kosep
mathematics so that students acquire learning outcomes.
10. B. Contextual Learning (Contextual Teaching and Learning)
Contextual approach to learning (CTL) is a concept which helps teachers learn to links
between the material taught with real-world situations of students and encourage
students to make connections between its knowledge with its application in their lives
as members of the family and society (Muslich, 2007: 41; Sagala, 2005: 87; Nurhadi,
2004: 13).
There are seven main components of contextual learning approach (Sagala, 2005: 87;
Nurhadi, 2004: 13), namely:
1. Constructivism
2. Asked (questioning)
3. Find (inquiry)
4. Community learning
5. Modeling
6. Reflection
7. Authentic assessment
11. C. Quantum Learning Style
There are three quantum learning modalities learning styles are:
1. Visual learning style (learning through what is seen)
These learning styles to access visual images, which were created and remember.
Color, space relationships, mental portraits and images are the things that stands out in
this learning style
2. Learning styles of auditory (learn by what is heard)
These learning styles to access all kinds of sounds and words, created and
remember. Music, tone, rhythm, and the internal dialogue is a prominent voice in this
learning style.
3. Kinesthetic learning style (learning through movement and touch)
These learning styles to access all types of motion and emotion, which was
created and remember. Movement, coordination, rhythm, emotional responses and
physical comfort is the thing that stands out in this learning style.
12. D. Contextual Learning with Quantum Learning Style
Contextual learning with quantum learning style is learning in the delivery and presentation
materials using elements that are interrelated and influence to instill kosep mathematics so
that students acquire through learning outcomes of what is seen for example through color,
space relationships, mental portraits and images learning to use the knowledge and ability
to solve problems that can be relied upon or tested and measured its success to create an
optimal learning.
13. D. Contextual Learning with Quantum Learning Style
Syntax of Contextual learning with quantum learning styles:
1. Distribution of learning styles questionnaire which consisted of learning styles visual,
auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles is useful to distinguish according to the ability
of students in their lessons.
2. Classify students into three groups of learning styles.
3. Develop the idea that children will learn to be more meaningful in its own way and
mengonstruksikan own work experience and new skills.
4. Carry out as far as possible the activities found for all subjects by performing the
learning process in accordance with visual learning styles performed by the image, and
sepidol carta colored.
5. Depeloving curiosity of students by asking questions.
6. Create a learning community.
7. Presents “model” as an example of learning.
8. Do the reflections at the end of the meeting.
9. Perform assessment at the end of each meeting and at the end of the test subject is held
to determine the increase in overall test results of students' learning by using the
application of contextual learning with the learning styles of quantum learning.
14. E. Learning Outcomes
In teaching and learning outcomes of this study can be seen from the results of the
evaluation or test results both orally and in writing that can be expressed in value or
number is: good, average and poor.
The content of the learning outcomes that include:
1. Cognitive domains
2. Affective domains
3. Psychomotor domains
15. F. The Relation Between Learning Outcome Through Application of
Contextual Learning with Quantum Learning
Relation between learning outcomes through the application of contextual learning with
learning on a quantum learning styles visual styles is to encourage students to develop
students' thinking that learning is more meaningful by working alone, finds himself and
his own experience and skills mengkontruksikan new and describes the information that
was presented by the teachers so that they can always mengigatnya. Of learning styles that
will make students more eager to learn because it fits the students' skills in their lessons so
that every student learning outcomes will increase.
17. A. Type of research
