Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of students and teachers regarding the drill method for vocabulary acquisition in Arabic and English. Conducted at Mambaus Sholihin 9 Islamic Boarding School in Blitar, the research involved 41 intermediate-level students and five teachers who regularly used the drill method in their instruction. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs), then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings highlight that the drill method is effective in enhancing vocabulary retention for both Arabic and English, with 32 out of 41 students reporting improved recall. Teachers also emphasized its value in reinforcing vocabulary patterns, particularly for Arabics root-based morphology. However, challenges such as monotony and varying student proficiency levels were identified, with 9 students citing difficulty maintaining focus during repetitive drills. Language-specific differences were noted, with Arabic benefiting from pattern-based drills, while English required more contextualized examples to address nuances in usage. This study recommends integrating creative variations such as games, group activities, and contextual sentences to maintain engagement. Differentiated drills and adaptations to the structural characteristics of each language are suggested to enhance bilingual vocabulary acquisition. These findings contribute to the development of effective vocabulary teaching strategies for Arabic and English in bilingual educational settings.

Abstract

Background: Dental anxiety, dental fear, and dental phobia are psychological conditions that commonly affect individuals, making dental visits and treatments daunting and distressing. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate dental anxiety, fear, and phobia among Nigerians through a literature review design. The main outcome of the study was to assess the prevalence of dental anxiety, fear, and phobia among Nigerians. Methods: The research databases used were Google Scholar, PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Cochrane. After independent assessors read the full texts to ensure eligibility, 23 studies were selected for inclusion, while 65 papers were excluded. These studies documented the existence of dental anxiety, fear, and phobia among Nigerians from 2002 to 2022. Results: Among the selected studies, there were 21 dental anxiety studies, one dental fear study, and one dental phobia study. The prevalence of dental anxiety in these studies ranged from 7.43% to 62.8%, the prevalence of dental fear was 36.8%, and the prevalence of dental phobia was 30%. Notably, dental anxiety studies were more frequently carried out among residents of South-Western Nigeria than residents of other regions of the country. The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale was the most commonly used instrument for assessing dental anxiety among study participants. Dental anxiety, fear, and phobia were commonly associated with dental health concerns, past pain experiences, and previous traumatic dental treatment among Nigerians. Conclusions: Dental anxiety, dental fear, and dental phobia affect both Nigerian children, adolescents, and adults, though the prevalence and extent of investigation vary by group and region. Further empirical studies are needed across different regions of the country, particularly in the South-Eastern and North-Eastern regions, focusing on hospitals, schools, and community-based settings. Psychological services can be implemented alongside dental treatments to help alleviate anxiety, fear, and phobias in Nigerian dental patients.
