Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of collaborative learning–based Mahārah Kitābah instruction using Scrabble media for eleventh-grade students. The scope of this research focuses on improving students’ Arabic writing skills through collaborative activities supported by educational game media. The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of Scrabble media in collaborative learning and to analyze students’ responses to the learning process. This research employed a quasi-experimental design involving an experimental class and a control class. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations. The experimental class was taught using collaborative learning with Scrabble media, while the control class received conventional instruction. The quantitative results show that the post-test mean score of the experimental class was 77, which was higher than that of the control class with a mean score of 67. Furthermore, the independent sample t-test results indicate a significant difference between the two classes with a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, confirming the effectiveness of the treatment. Qualitative data obtained from questionnaires and interviews reveal that students responded positively to the use of Scrabble media, particularly in enhancing motivation, vocabulary mastery, collaboration, and confidence in writing Arabic. Classroom observations also demonstrate increased student participation during the learning process. In conclusion, collaborative learning–based Mahārah Kitābah instruction using Scrabble media is effective in improving students’ Arabic writing skills and fostering a more engaging learning environment.

Abstract

Mastery of Arabic speaking skills (maharah kalam) remains difficult for senior madrasah students, particularly when Instruction relies heavily on conventional methods with limited interactive media. This study investigates the effectiveness of Discovery Learning supported by animated video media at MA Babussalam Payaraman. Employing a quantitative approach with a pretest–posttest control group design, data were collected through tests, questionnaires, observations, and interviews, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and an independent sample t-test. Results show a substantial improvement in the experimental class, with scores increasing from 55% in the pretest to 84.56% in the posttest, while the control class rose only from 49.34% to 68.69%. Students taught with animated videos also demonstrated greater engagement, motivation, and confidence.The study concludes that Discovery Learning, combined with animated video media, effectively enhances Arabic speaking skills. Its primary contribution lies in proving that integrating process-oriented learning with dynamic visual media significantly boosts communicative competence and learner participation, offering a more impactful alternative to traditional Arabic language teaching.

Abstract

The low level of students' Arabic reading skills is often caused by monotonous learning methods and a lack of initial vocabulary mastery, which leads to difficulties in comprehending texts as a whole. This issue is reinforced by field facts showing that the students' initial average scores remain below the minimum mastery standard. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Contextual Teaching and Learning model assisted by Word Search media in improving Maharah Qira’ah. Using a mixed-method approach, the research involved 52 ninth-grade students at SMP Azharyah Palembang. Data were collected through observation, interviews, tests, and student response questionnaires, with data analysis conducted using the Independent Sample t-Test. Quantitative analysis results showed a significant increase in the experimental class with a post-test average of 77.60, exceeding the control class at 64.44, with a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.006 < 0.05. This study is supported by highly positive student responses, with the average motivation reaching 93.23%. Qualitatively, observations indicated that students became more active and enthusiastic about discovering textual meanings independently. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of Word Search media as scaffolding within the contextual learning framework, which facilitates interactive vocabulary identification. This innovation is effective as a bridge for students before engaging in more complex reading comprehension tasks.

Abstract

The integration of digital technology in 21st-century education demands innovative, student-centered learning, yet Arabic speaking instruction at MI Adabiyah 2 Palembang remains teacher-centered with limited digital media, resulting in low student creativity and participation. Theoretically, discovery learning encourages active knowledge construction and creative thinking, while TikTok provides interactive visual-auditory stimulation. This study aims to determine the improvement in students’ creativity through discovery learning-based speaking instruction using TikTok as a learning medium. A mixed-methods approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 28 fourth-grade students. Quantitative data were collected through pretests, posttests, and creativity questionnaires, while qualitative data were obtained from observations, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the mean pretest score of 54.29 increased to 82.43 in the posttest, with a paired-sample t-test indicating a significant improvement (p < 0.001). The N-Gain score of 62.48% fell into the moderate or fairly effective category. In conclusion, discovery learning-based speaking instruction using TikTok media is effective in improving students’ creativity. It is recommended that teachers integrate interactive digital media and student-centered models to create more innovative and creative Arabic language learning. Perkembangan teknologi digital dalam pendidikan abad ke-21 menuntut pembelajaran yang inovatif dan berpusat pada siswa, namun pembelajaran berbicara bahasa Arab di MI Adabiyah 2 Palembang masih berpusat pada guru dengan keterbatasan media digital, sehingga kreativitas dan partisipasi siswa rendah. Secara teoretis, discovery learning mendorong siswa aktif membangun pengetahuan dan berpikir kreatif, sedangkan TikTok menyediakan stimulus visual-auditori yang interaktif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peningkatan kreativitas siswa melalui pembelajaran berbicara berbasis discovery learning menggunakan media TikTok. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods dengan desain one-group pretest-posttest yang melibatkan 28 siswa kelas IV. Data kuantitatif dikumpulkan melalui pretest, posttest, dan angket kreativitas, sedangkan data kualitatif diperoleh dari observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata pretest 54,29 meningkat menjadi 82,43 pada posttest, dengan uji paired-sample t-test menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan (p < 0,001). Nilai N-Gain sebesar 62,48% termasuk dalam kategori sedang atau cukup efektif. Kesimpulannya, pembelajaran berbicara berbasis discovery learning menggunakan media TikTok efektif dalam meningkatkan kreativitas siswa. Guru disarankan untuk mengintegrasikan media digital interaktif dan model pembelajaran berpusat pada siswa guna menciptakan pembelajaran bahasa Arab yang lebih inovatif dan kreatif.
