Abstract

Abstract This study aims to analyze the implementation of the mind mapping method in teaching Arabic to eighth-grade students at Raudhatul Hasanah Islamic Institute. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach through a case study design, with data collected through observations and interviews with ten randomly selected eighth-grade students. The findings indicate that the application of the mind mapping method helps students understand Arabic learning materials in a more organized and accessible manner, particularly in developing their vocabulary and comprehending lesson topics. In addition, the method received a positive response from students, as it enhanced their engagement and interest in learning during the instructional process. However, the study also identified several challenges, such as some students’ difficulty in identifying key words and the limited instructional time, which necessitates ongoing guidance and training to ensure the optimal implementation of the mind mapping method. Overall, the mind mapping method can be considered an effective alternative in teaching Arabic to eighth-grade students. Keywords: implementation, mind mapping, Arabic language teaching

Abstract

Abstract The development of digital technology and the high use of social media among students demands innovation in Arabic language learning, especially in maharah al-kalam. This study aims to describe strategies for developing maharah al-kalam through the use of social media. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review method. The results show that social media such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok are effective in supporting speaking learning because they are flexible, interactive, and contextual. The strategies applied include modelling, shadowing technique, content-based speaking, and project-based speaking, which have been proven to improve students' fluency, vocabulary mastery, and confidence. With proper planning and supervision, social media has the potential to be an effective medium for learning maharah al-kalam in the digital age. Keywords: maharah al-kalam; social media; Arabic language

Abstract

Abstract This study reveals the strategy of constructing the meaning of eternity in the poem “Al-ān ṣurta jamīʿanā” by Muhammad Al-Turki as a response to the death of the legendary Saudi Arabian poet, Badr bin Abdul Mohsen, on May 4, 2024. Using Michael Riffaterre's semiotic approach with a qualitative-descriptive method, the analysis was conducted in four stages: discontinuity of expression, heuristic reading, hermeneutic reading, and identification of matrices, models, and hypograms. The findings show the use of personification, metaphor, and paradox that transform the narrative of personal loss into an eternal collective identity. The matrix of “transforming loss into eternity” is actualized in the model “now you have become all of us.” The hypogram analysis reveals the roots of classical Arabic ritsa tradition and modern free verse poetry that refer to Badr as a national cultural icon. This research confirms Al-Turki's success in transforming mourning into a tribute to eternal cultural values, while also demonstrating social media as a space for the actualization of ritsa tradition in the digital age. Keywords: Riffaterre’s Semiotics, Modern Arabic Poetry, Badr bin Abdul Mohsen.
Ibn Hishām’s Methodology in His Commentary on Alfiyyat Ibn Mālik in the Book Auḍaḥ al-Masālik ilā Alfiyyat Ibn Mālik Hidayati, Sri Erna; Asrina, Asrina; Hadi, Syofyan

Abstract

Abstract The central issue of this study is to examine Ibn Hishām’s methodology in his commentary on Alfiyyat Ibn Mālik in his book Auḍaḥ al-Masālik ilā Alfiyyat Ibn Mālik. The purpose of this research is to clarify Ibn Hishām’s methodological approach in explaining Alfiyyat Ibn Mālik in Auḍaḥ al-Masālik ilā Alfiyyat Ibn Mālik. The research method employed is library research. The findings indicate that Auḍaḥ al-Masālik encompasses all the chapters of the Alfiyyah. Ibn Hishām revised the formulation of certain sections, modifying some chapter titles solely for the sake of clarification, and then reorganized their subjects into subchapters after they had originally been presented as main chapters. He rarely cited the verses of the Alfiyyah, except when necessary, such as when he intended to object to or disagree with the author. The commentator began some sections with technical definitions and brief explanations, considering that certain chapter titles were ambiguous and required clarification to provide a general overview of the topic. However, he did not do so when there was no need. Ibn Hishām’s sources of evidence in Auḍaḥ al-Masālik include the Qur’an, Prophetic hadiths, and Arabic poetry. His stance toward grammatical differences ranged between support and rejection. Thus, Auḍaḥ al-Masālik serves as a clarification of the content of the verses of Alfiyyat Ibn Mālik, rather than a direct line-by-line commentary on its verses as undertaken by other commentators of the Alfiyyah. Keywords: Ibn Hishām, Alfiyyat Ibn Mālik, Auḍaḥ al-Masālik ilā Alfiyyat Ibn Mālik, Ibn Mālik.

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to analyze the extent to which the content of the Arabic language Student Worksheets (LKS) aligns with constructivist learning theory at Dar al-Ma’mur Institute, Baso. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using content analysis of the eleventh-grade LKS based on constructivist theory indicators. Data were collected through document analysis, semi-structured interviews with Arabic language teachers, classroom observations, and supporting documents. The findings indicate that, in general, the worksheets are consistent with the core principles of constructivist theory, particularly in terms of active student engagement, the use of real-life contexts, and the connection of content to learners’ experiences. Topics such as health, travel, and shopping contribute to meaningful learning through interaction and task-based activities. However, several shortcomings were identified, including the absence of scaffolding stages, limited opportunities for student self-reflection, and weak elements of collaborative learning. In addition, the unit of analysis in this study remains limited, as the analysis focused only on the surface-level content without delving into the cognitive structure and interactive dimensions of the activities. The analytical methodology also requires strengthening through the use of more rigorous analytical tools and clearly defined, measurable evaluation criteria. A lack of critical depth in discussing the findings was also observed, which reduces the strength of the scientific conclusions. From a theoretical perspective, the study’s contribution remains limited, as it does not develop a new conceptual framework or adapt constructivist indicators to the specific context of Arabic language instruction. Furthermore, the research does not include empirical data measuring the impact of LKS use on student learning outcomes in a quantitative or quasi-experimental manner. Accordingly, while this study has the potential to serve as a strong evaluative research, it requires methodological reinforcement and deeper analysis to meet the standards of reputable peer-reviewed academic journals. Enhancing aspects related to collaborative learning, role-playing, group projects, and self-reflection tools, along with strengthening the methodological framework, would improve the effectiveness of Arabic language learning and address the needs of twenty-first-century learners. This study represents an initial step toward developing LKS and designing a more comprehensive constructivist-based Arabic language curriculum. Keywords: Constructivist theory, student worksheets, content analysis, Arabic language teaching.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences in Arabic writing skills between students graduating from MTs and SMP in the tenth grade of MAN 1 Deli Serdang. This research is motivated by the differences in students’ initial abilities based on their previous educational backgrounds. The method used is a quantitative approach with a comparative design. Data analysis was conducted through normality testing, homogeneity testing, and the Independent Samples T-Test with the assistance of SPSS. The results of the study show that the average score of SMP graduates is 71.50, while that of MTs graduates is 81.57. The hypothesis test results indicate a significance value of < 0.05, which means that there is a significant difference between the two groups. Thus, it can be concluded that the writing skills of MTs graduates are better than those of SMP graduates. Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.

Abstract

This study was conducted in response to the low Arabic language learning outcomes among students at Binjai State Islamic Senior High School, which were attributed to monotonous conventional teaching methods and a lack of interactive learning activities. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of augmented reality-based instructional media in improving the Arabic language learning outcomes of tenth-grade students at Binjai State Islamic Senior High School. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model, which consists of the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were applied. The research sample consisted of students from Grade X-1 as the control group and Grade X-2 as the experimental group, with a total of 32 students. The research instruments included observation, questionnaires, expert validation, and tests. The data were analyzed using an independent-samples t-test. The developed product was evaluated by subject-matter experts and instructional media experts to determine its level of feasibility. The results showed that the learning outcomes of students in the experimental and control groups were relatively similar. The two-tailed significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was greater than 0.05, indicating that there was no statistically significant effect. Nevertheless, based on the mean scores, the experimental group achieved a higher average score than the control group.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited writing proficiency observed among sixth-grade students at Insan Utama Islamic Integrated Elementary School 1, Pekanbaru, and investigates how vocabulary mastery correlates with progress in their writing ability, through a series of targeted vocabulary exercises. A quantitative experimental design was used. Before testing the main hypothesis, the pre-test and post-test data were each checked for normal distribution; the resulting figures, 0.054 for the pre-test and 0.406 for the post-test, cleared the threshold needed to justify a paired-samples t-test. Running that test returned a probability value far below the customary 0.05 cutoff, at 0.000. Average scores climbed from 44.80 before the intervention to 67.00 afterward, a gain that points to a meaningful, statistically supported link between how well students know Arabic vocabulary and how well they write it.

Abstract

Assessment tasks play a crucial role in developing students' cognitive abilities, particularly in teaching Arabic reading skills. However, many Arabic language textbooks still focus predominantly on lower-order cognitive skills, thereby limiting learners' opportunities for critical and analytical thinking. This study aims to analyze the cognitive levels embedded in the assessment tasks of the textbook "Fi'l Qirā'at al-'Arabiyyah" using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy framework. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method with a content analysis approach to examine all exercise types and assessment items in the textbook. The data were categorized into six cognitive levels: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating. The findings indicate that most assessment tasks are concentrated in Lower-Order Thinking Skills (LOTS), specifically at the Remembering and Understanding levels. Meanwhile, only a small proportion of the tasks are at the Applying level, whereas Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)—namely Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating—are almost entirely absent. These results suggest that the textbook primarily fosters basic reading comprehension rather than higher-order cognitive skills. Consequently, integrating assessment tasks oriented toward higher-order thinking skills is essential to foster students' critical, analytical, and creative thinking in Arabic reading instruction.
