Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and students’ perceptions of using Rebus Story media in Arabic language learning at SD NU Insan Cendekia. The research background arises from the low interest and comprehension of students in Arabic vocabulary due to conventional methods that lack visual and contextual engagement. This study employed a mixed methods approach using a convergent parallel design, combining quantitative data from pretest–posttest results and qualitative data from classroom observations and interviews. Statistical analysis revealed that the use of Rebus Story significantly improved students’ learning outcomes, with the mean pretest score of 68.5 rising to 93.25 in the posttest, and a paired-sample t-test result of t(19) = 20.012 (p < 0.001), indicating a highly significant effect. The qualitative findings further showed that students responded positively to the use of this media because it made learning more enjoyable, contextual, and interactive. These results support Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning and Paivio’s Dual Coding Theory, emphasizing the importance of combining visual and verbal elements in language learning. The study concludes that Rebus Story is effective in enhancing students’ understanding and motivation in learning Arabic, while also fostering a communicative and collaborative classroom atmosphere.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation and effectiveness of the Cooperative-Reflective Approach through the Process-Based Writing (PBW) model in teaching maharah kitabah (Arabic writing skills) among students of the Arabic Language Education Department at UIN Syekh Wasil Kediri. The research employed a mixed-methods approach using an Explanatory Sequential Design, where quantitative data were first collected through pre-test and post-test to measure writing improvement, followed by qualitative data collection through observation, interviews, and reflective journals to elaborate on the results. The participants consisted of 28 undergraduate students from Class D and one postgraduate tutor. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the average score from 38.21 to 74.82, with a gain of 36.61 points and an effect size of 2.90, indicating a very large influence of the intervention on students’ writing performance. Qualitative results showed that the Cooperative-Reflective approach enhanced students’ active participation, individual responsibility, and reflective awareness in the writing process. Students became more collaborative, critical, and confident in producing coherent and communicative Arabic texts. The study concludes that integrating cooperative and reflective approaches through the PBW model is not only effective in improving maharah kitabah but also contributes to developing a process-based and self-aware Arabic language learning model that aligns with 21st-century higher education demands.
