Abstract

This study investigates gender representation in the verbal and visual texts of Arabic textbooks used at STAIN Sultan Abdurrahman Kepulauan Riau, namely Al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah al-Rā’i‘ah lil-Mubtadi’īn 1 and 2. The study employed a critical content analysis approach to examine how gender is constructed through both visual and verbal elements in the textbooks. Visual data were analyzed through four indicators: pictures that only included men or women, foregrounded male/female figures in relation to backgrounded ones, pictures of boys and girls, and visual contexts identified as domestic or professional. Verbal data were analyzed through three indicators: men and women as subjects, objects, and possessives in sentences. The findings reveal that male representation remains dominant across both dimensions. In the visual texts, men were more visible, more frequently foregrounded, and more often represented as children than women. In the verbal texts, men also appeared more frequently as subjects, objects, and possessive forms in sentence structures. These findings indicate that gender bias in the textbooks operates simultaneously at both visual and verbal levels. The study confirms that Arabic textbooks function not only as pedagogical tools but also as ideological media that may reproduce gendered power relations. Therefore, the development of Arabic teaching materials in Islamic higher education needs to be more responsive to gender-inclusive and equitable representation.

Abstract

Arabic maharah qira'ah learning plays an important role in developing students' literacy competence in madrasah education. However, the learning process still faces challenges, particularly related to students' limited active engagement in comprehending Arabic texts deeply. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the inquiry method on Arabic maharah qira'ah learning outcomes among eighth-grade students at MTs Negeri Samarinda. The study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test instruments administered to the experimental and control groups. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test and Mann–Whitney test due to the non-normal distribution of the data. The findings revealed that the experimental group's mean score increased from 91.85 to 97.41 after implementing the inquiry method, while the control group improved from 89.26 to 92.96. The Wilcoxon test indicated a significant difference in the experimental group (p = 0.039). However, the Mann–Whitney test showed that the difference in improvement between the experimental and control groups was not statistically significant. These findings indicate that the inquiry method has positive potential for improving Arabic reading achievement through more active and student-centered learning. Future research is recommended to involve larger samples and longer intervention periods to obtain more comprehensive evidence.
