Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of constructivist and traditional approaches in teaching Arabic to beginners. The constructivist approach, grounded in active learning and real-world application, emphasizes learner engagement and collaborative learning. The traditional approach, however, focuses on structured grammar-based instruction, providing learners with a foundational understanding of language rules. Through a comparative analysis of two groups of beginners—one taught using a constructivist approach and the other using a traditional method—the research examines differences in engagement, motivation, and skill development (speaking, listening, reading, writing). Data was collected through classroom observations, interviews, and questionnaires to assess the participants' experiences and perceptions. Results indicate that learners in the constructivist group showed higher engagement and improved speaking and listening skills, while the traditional group excelled in reading and writing. Both approaches presented unique challenges, such as limited practical application in the traditional group and insufficient focus on grammatical accuracy in the constructivist group. The study concludes that a blended approach, combining the strengths of both methods, may provide the most comprehensive language learning experience for beginners.

Abstract

Generation Z, having come of age in a thriving and varied digital age, encounters distinct obstacles in cultivating their religious identity. This article explores the most effective ways for engaging Generation Z in religious character building and examines the resulting ramifications. The methodology employed is qualitative, with descriptive analysis as the study type. The research focused on the following subjects: the madrasah's head, the curriculum section, male and female student affairs, and the students. Data gathering approaches employ methods such as interviews, documentation, and observation. Data analysis techniques encompass various stages, namely data collecting, data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. Studies indicate that the utilization of digital technology, including social media and educational applications, can effectively transmit religious ideals to Generation Z. Furthermore, the implementation of a comprehensive strategy that encompasses both structured and unstructured learning, interpersonal engagement, and guidance from mentors has also demonstrated its efficacy. The significance of these findings underscores the necessity of adapting religious learning methodologies to cater to the requirements and inclinations of Generation Z. This essay emphasizes the necessity of using creative approaches to engage Generation Z in the development of religious character, with the aim of preserving spiritual values in the rapidly changing modern world.
