Abstract

Diagnostic assessment plays a crucial role in the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, as it provides a foundation for adaptive, responsive, and differentiated learning. This study aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the role of diagnostic assessment in identifying students’ readiness, learning needs, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as their socio-emotional conditions. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with library research as the main method, this study analyzes various sources, including official modules from the Ministry of Education and Culture, scientific journals, reference books, and relevant previous studies. The findings indicate that diagnostic assessment, classified into cognitive and non-cognitive types, enables teachers to design effective instructional strategies, implement remedial and enrichment programs, and foster collaboration among educators. Despite its advantages, diagnostic assessment also presents challenges such as potential misinterpretation, time constraints, and the need for adequate teacher training. Overall, diagnostic assessment serves not only as an instrument to measure student readiness but also as a theoretical construct that bridges curriculum objectives with learner diversity, thereby strengthening the foundation of differentiated and holistic education in the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

The main problem of this research is the low optimization of students' reading skills (maharah qiroah) due to the dominance of conventional methods, so it is necessary to implement an Image-Based Learning approach based on Dual Coding theory. This study aims to analyse the implementation of the Image-Based Learning (IBL) approach based on the Dual Coding theory in improving Arabic reading skills (maharah qiroah) of 12 postgraduate students during the learning process in the classroom. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of the learning process in the Arabic Language Education Programme at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. Data validity is ensured through triangulation of sources and data collection techniques. The results indicate that the IBL approach is effective in activating students' schemas, enriching vocabulary, deepening understanding of Arab cultural context, and developing critical thinking skills through text structure analysis. The integration of Dual Coding theory enables students to process information simultaneously through visual and verbal channels, significantly enhancing retention and reading comprehension. These findings reinforce the evidence of the effectiveness of interactive visual media in Arabic language learning. The contribution of this research lies in affirming the strategic role of visualisation in developing analytical skills and comprehensive discourse understanding. Therefore, the Dual Coding-based IBL approach is recommended as an adaptive pedagogical strategy in maharah qirā’ah learning to meet the demands of 21st-century learning.
