Abstract

Learning the write scientific articles through case studies encourages students to develop practical competencies in writing scientific articles based on cases encountered in Arabic language classes. Previously, scientific writing lessons were diverted between theory and practice. So, students have difficulty in formulating a researchable problem, organizing arguments, integrating empirical evidence, or maintaining textual coherence. This research aims to analyze the implementation of learning to write ‎scientific papers in Arabic based on a case study learning through a mixed-method approach. The ‎research sample consisted of 116 students in Arabic learning program of UIN Imam Bonjol Padang. Data collection techniques ‎included writing skills tests (pre-test and post-test), observation, structured interviews via ‎Google Form, and documentation of paragraph analysis in students' scientific papers. ‎Quantitative data analysis used the t-test, while qualitative data analysis used Milles ‎and Huberman analysis technique. The research findings show an increase in students' critical thinking and creative thinking skills, which is indicated by the distribution of various phrases and sentences in scientific texts, as well as an increase in problem analysis skills found through case study learning outcomes.. The results of the t-test analysis show that ‎the significance value (2-tailed) value <.001, so the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. The findings show that 98.3% of students are able to find ‎authentic research problems to support their writing skills. This innovative approach provides ‎an important contribution in the development of practical scientific writing learning through a ‎case study learning model that integrates theory-based learning and practice in exploring the ‎phenomena.
