This type of research is school action research carried out in two cycles. Each cycle is carried out in two meetings, with a time allocation of 4x35 minutes for each meeting.

The research results showed that in cycle I, the participants' ability to use the outing class-based contextual learning model increased. At the 1st meeting it reached 72.32%; the 2nd meeting reached 83.93%. Meanwhile, the results of cycle II for the 1st meeting reached 88.84%, the results for the 2nd meeting reached 94.20%. The results of the principal's ability to manage the workshop were obtained in the first cycle for the 1st meeting reaching 84.92%, for the 2nd meeting reaching 86.22%. The results in cycle II of the 1st meeting reached 87.40%; and the 2nd meeting reached 90.28%.
