This research is motivated by the low learning outcomes of fifth-grade students in the Indonesian language subject at UPT SPF SD Negeri Rappocini, Makassar City. The research problem addresses how the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model—integrated with the local wisdom of *Siri’ na Pacce—can improve the Indonesian language learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at UPT SPF SD Negeri Rappocini, Makassar City. The study aims to enhance these learning outcomes by applying the CTL model, which connects instructional material to students' real-life experiences, their environment, and their daily lives. A mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative descriptive) was employed, utilizing the Classroom Action Research (CAR) framework developed by Kemmis and McTaggart. The subjects of this study were the teacher and 21 fifth-grade students at UPT SPF SD Negeri Rappocini, Makassar City, during the 2025/2026 academic year. Data collection techniques included the observation of teacher and student activities, learning achievement tests, and documentation. Data were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods. The results indicate an improvement in student learning outcomes from Cycle I to Cycle II. In Cycle I, the class-wide learning achievement rate was 52.38%, categorized as "poor." Following instructional improvements in Cycle II—through the implementation of the CTL model integrated with the local wisdom of Siri’ na Pacce, the class-wide learning achievement rate increased to 90.47%, categorized as "good." Furthermore, both the teacher’s instructional activities and the students’ learning activities showed improvement in each session. Consequently, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model, based on the local wisdom of Siri’ na Pacce, effectively improves the Indonesian language learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at UPT SPF SD Negeri Rappocini, Makassar City.
