The low motivation of students in learning Arabic remains a primary challenge at MTs Al-Rahmah Petapahan, where students appear unenthusiastic and passive despite the teacher's maximum efforts using various methods. This study aims to determine and empirically analyze the influence of implementing the Snowball Throwing cooperative learning model on students' Arabic learning motivation in class VII at MTs Ar-Rahmah Petapahan, Tapung District, Kampar Regency. The research utilizes a quantitative approach with a Experiment research design. The sample consists of 55 female students from class VII, divided into two groups: class VII D as the experimental class (28 students) and class VII E as the control class (27 students), selected through a combination of purposive sampling and saturated sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using Likert-scale questionnaires, observation sheets, and documentation. The data analysis techniques involved prerequisite testing and simple linear regression analysis. Instrument testing confirmed that all questionnaire items were valid and reliable. The inferential statistical analysis revealed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.005, indicating that the research hypothesis is accepted. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R2) was found to be 0.755. This empirically proves that the implementation of the Snowball Throwing model exerts a strong and significant influence of 75.5% on increasing students' Arabic learning motivation, while the remaining 24.5% is influenced by external factors beyond the scope of this study. In conclusion, the application of the Snowball Throwing model can effectively boost students' Arabic learning motivation to a high category.
