In an attempt to help students at Pelita Elementary School in Bandung City develop peaceful dispositions, this study will investigate how the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model is applied in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) courses. Data for this study was gathered by observation, interviews, and recording using a qualitative descriptive method. The study's findings demonstrate that using the CTL model can help students better comprehend the importance of cooperation, tolerance, and amicable dispute resolution. Numerous elements, including teacher preparation, school support, and student participation in the learning process, contribute to this model's success. However, this study also identifies obstacles, including limited facilities and differences in students' initial understanding of the concept of peace-loving. This study recommends strengthening the implementation of CTL through training for teachers and the integration of peace-loving values in a more comprehensive curriculum.Keyword: Contextual Teaching and Learning, Islamic Religious Education, Peace-loving Character, Elementary School Abstrak.
