Low reading self-efficacy is one of the factors affecting students' confidence in comprehending Arabic texts and weakening their participation in learning. This study aims to examine the effect of implementing the Student Team Achievement Divisions (STAD) cooperative learning model on the reading self-efficacy of eighth-grade students in maharah qirā'ah learning. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental Nonequivalent Control Group Design was applied to a sample of 63 students, consisting of 31 in the experimental group and 32 in the control group. Data were collected through a reading self-efficacy questionnaire and a qirā'ah test before and after treatment, then analyzed using SPSS with the Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed that the mean self-efficacy score increased from 50.77 in the pretest to 64.55 in the posttest, with a significance value of 0.003 (< 0.05), proving that the implementation of the STAD model significantly improved students' reading self-efficacy.
