Abstract

This study was motivated by students’ low interest in learning Arabic at MAN 1 Kota Gorontalo and the need for more interactive instructional media to address a classroom atmosphere that was often monotonous. The study aimed to identify and verify the effect of the Educaplay platform on students’ interest in learning Arabic, to compare students’ learning interest between the experimental and control classes, and to identify the contribution of Educaplay’s interactive and game-based features to creating more engaging and effective Arabic instruction. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design. The participants were 60 eleventh-grade students divided into an experimental class and a control class, with 30 students in each group. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire, classroom observation, structured interviews, and pre-test and post-test measures. The data were then analyzed using SPSS 26 through validity and reliability testing, descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity testing, and an independent-samples t-test. The findings showed that the mean score of students’ learning interest in the experimental class was higher than that of the control class, namely 81.20 compared to 74.85, with a significance value of 0.002 < 0.05. These findings indicate that the use of Educaplay had a significant effect on students’ interest in learning. Therefore, Educaplay was shown to create more interactive, enjoyable Arabic learning experiences that encourage more active student engagement.

Abstract

Media refers to all forms and channels used to deliver messages or information as a communication tool in the teaching process to transfer knowledge from teachers to students, encouraging active participation in learning. The use of the book “Durus al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah” Part One is considered to support the development of reading skills among eighth-grade students. This study aims to determine the effect of using this book as a learning medium on students’ reading skills before and after treatment, and to measure the extent of its effectiveness among eighth-grade “B” students at Al-Misri Islamic Junior High School, Rambipuji, Jember. This research employed a quantitative experimental within a one-group pretest-posttest design approach using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The population consisted of 104 students, while the sample included all 27 students of class VIII “B” in the 2023/2024 academic year. Data were analyzed through simple linear regression and determination coefficient testing. The simple linear regression test showed a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant effect of using the book as a learning medium on reading skills. The R-Square value reached 0.897, demonstrating that the medium contributed 89.7% to the improvement of reading ability. The findings indicate a statistically significant improvement after the intervention; however, further controlled studies are needed to establish causal effectiveness.
