Abstract

Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri (MTsN) 3 Ngawi is a public madrasah that implements Arabic language learning for students using Arabic language textbooks from the Ministry of Religious Affairs (KEMENAG). However, there are several issues during the learning process in the teaching and learning program. The teacher still uses the lecture and translation methods, which cause students to become easily bored and less attentive to the teacher's explanations, making the learning process less than optimal and resulting in minimal student learning outcomes. In this study, the researcher used Classroom Action Research (CAR) with four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. Therefore, the researcher seeks to solve these issues by implementing the "Buzz Group" learning method, which can improve learning outcomes and student engagement. The results of this study are as follows: 1) the application of the Buzz Group method in Arabic language learning can improve student learning outcomes, as evidenced by the first cycle, where student learning outcomes reached an average score of 88.1 with an achievement rate of 86.66% from 32 students, and in the second cycle, student learning outcomes reached an average score of 93 with an achievement rate of 96.77% from 32 students. 2) Applying the Buzz Group method in Arabic language learning can increase student engagement, as evidenced by 84.58% student engagement in the first cycle and 93.14% in the second cycle from 32 students. Keywords: Buzz Group, Learning method, Learning outcomes

Abstract

This inquiry makes a deliberate effort to harmonize students' latent instincts and cognitive faculties with the progressive refinement of their Arabic speaking proficiency while confronting pedagogical challenges and uplifting the standards of instruction within the al-Mahārah al-Kalām curriculum. At the heart of this endeavor lies the Think Pair Share (TPS) strategy, a collaborative educational method that encourages individual contemplation and facilitates dialectic engagement and communal reflection. Through such methodological precision, the study aspired to stimulate active participation, deepen comprehension, and enhance students' communicative competencies in the Arabic language. Focusing its gaze on Year Eight students of the State Islamic Junior High School (MTSN) 1 in East Java during the academic year of 2023-2024, the research unfolded through the paradigm of classroom action research (PTK), following the model posited by Kemmis and Taggart. This model, grounded in four distinct stages—planning, observation, implementation, and reflection—allowed the investigation to traverse a meticulously structured path. The process was executed across two cycles: the first cycle centered on "al-Hiwāyah" (aspirations), while the second gravitated towards "mihnah" (professions). Each cycle adhered rigorously to the procedural demands of planning, execution, observation, and subsequent reflection, thus ensuring the validity and reliability of the resultant data. The findings were revealing: there emerged a pronounced enhancement in the quality of instruction, with 75% of the cohort attaining commendable levels of achievement. The TPS strategy enriched the student's grasp of the material and fostered heightened engagement, greater confidence, and an evident fluency in their Arabic speech. In its broader implications, this study underscores the efficacy of the TPS method in furthering both the pedagogical quality and the linguistic proficiency of students within the al-Mahārah al-Kalām framework for Year Eight at MTSN 1  Madiun. Keywords: Learning Outcome, al-Mahārah al-Kalām, Think Pair Share (TPS)

Abstract

Students in class 5B at MI Qurrota A’yun need help learning Arabic, which is considered problematic. The teaching method, limited to the teacher's guidebook, makes students feel less motivated and inactive during the learning process, negatively impacting their learning outcomes, which remain below the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM). Therefore, learning media that can improve students' interest and motivation is needed. One such media is Educandy, as its interactive form can attract students' attention and facilitate their understanding and memorization of vocabulary. Thus, this research aims to improve student's learning outcomes and enthusiasm in class 5B after applying Educandy media in Arabic language materials. The research method used in this study is Classroom Action Research (PTK), and the subjects are the students of class 5B at MI Qurrota A’yun. Data collected by the researcher from documentation, test results, observations, and interviews are analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This research shows that the application of educational learning media can improve students' learning outcomes in class 5B at MI Qurrota A’yun. The average score increased by 29% from 6.32 in the first round to 8.18 in the second round. Furthermore, the media also successfully increased the students' enthusiasm for learning, with an increase of 38% from 68% in the first round observation to 92% in the second round observation.

Abstract

The development of ICT (Information, communication, & technology) requires teachers to innovate and align themselves with technological developments, diagnostic assessment is vital in identifying students initial abilities, strengths, and weaknesses in Arabic text reading skills. With the integration of TPACK, teachers can utilize technology to design assessment instruments that are more effective, interactive, and relevant to students needs, as well as develop pedagogical approaches that match the characteristics of the content. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of how technology, if appropriately integrated with pedagogical and language content understanding, can effectively improve Arabic language teaching and learning, particularly in the diagnostic assessment of mahārah qirā’ah.  The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The research data sources are divided into two sources: the first source of literary data and field data sources. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and analysis of student assessment documents. The results showed that TPACK-based diagnostic assessment helped teachers map students abilities more thoroughly. Technology allows the presentation of more varied and exciting assessments, thus increasing student motivation in learning. In addition, integrating technology, pedagogy, and content makes it easier for teachers to design more targeted and practical knowledge. Keywords: Diagnostic Assessment, Mahārah Qirā’ah, TPACK

Abstract

The current Arabic language instruction predominantly relies on conventional methods based on textbooks, which may not fully engage students in today’s technology-driven educational landscape. Therefore, integrating modern learning tools is essential. This study investigates the implementation of the Duolingo method at MTs Muhammadiyah 2 Jenangan and analyzes its effectiveness in improving students’ proficiency in Arabic vocabulary. This study employs a quantitative approach utilizing a quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The research population comprises 183 students, with the sample drawn from the eighth-grade cohort. Specifically, 30 students from Class VIII A were assigned to the control group, while 31 students from Class VIII B served as the experimental group. The primary instrument for data collection is a test administered as both a pre-test and a post-test. Data were analyzed using SPSS, employing several statistical procedures, including the Normality test, Wilcoxon test, Homogeneity test, and Mann-Whitney test. The results indicate that the use of the Duolingo application significantly enhances students' vocabulary acquisition in Arabic language learning, with p-values of 0.001 for both the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho).

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the influence of psychological factors on the mastery of Arabic writing skills, specifically in al-Insya’ (composition) among Year 7 students at an Arabic school in Brunei Darussalam. A mixed-method research approach was employed, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods. For the quantitative component, a questionnaire was distributed to 23 students of Year 7 to assess their level of motivation and attitudes toward al-Insya’ writing skills. Meanwhile, the qualitative method involved semi-structured interviews with four Arabic language teachers to gain in-depth insights into the psychological factors affecting students’ performance in al-Insya’ writing.The findings revealed that students’ attitudes toward writing skills were at a moderate level, with intrinsic motivation identified as a more dominant factor than extrinsic motivation in encouraging effective writing. Interviews with teachers further highlighted that factors such as self-confidence, learning environment, and teaching approaches play significant roles in shaping students’ al-Insya’ writing abilities. These findings carry important implications for Arabic language teachers in designing more comprehensive teaching strategies that not only focus on instructional aspects but also consider students’ psychological dimensions. This study also contributes to the growing body of literature in Arabic language education and opens avenues for more in-depth future research. Keywords: Writing Skills, Teaching and Learning, Student Attitudes, Teacher Roles and Motivation.

Abstract

This article analyzes the experiences of seventh-grade students in the implementation of the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) learning model in the Nahwu subject at Daarul Huffaadz Alfalahiyah Islamic Boarding School. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the TSTS model in enhancing student engagement and comprehension of Nahwu material, which has often been perceived as difficult and tedious by many students. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through interviews with students and classroom observations. The findings reveal that the majority of students experienced a significant improvement in their understanding of Nahwu after the application of the TSTS model. Students reported feeling more active and involved in the learning process, particularly due to the opportunity to discuss, express opinions, and explain material to their peers. One student stated, “After participating in Nahwu learning with the TSTS model, I feel very happy and more confident. This method made learning more interactive and enjoyable.” In addition to improving comprehension, the model also helps develop students' communication and collaboration skills. Observations indicated that student interactions became more dynamic compared to traditional teaching methods. The teacher's role as a facilitator, guiding discussions without dominating them, aligns with constructivist principles, which emphasize the importance of social interaction in the learning process. Key factors that support the success of this model include student readiness, teacher support, and a conducive learning environment. However, challenges remain, such as the model’s dependence on effective student collaboration, which needs to be carefully managed. Keywords: Learning Model, Nahwu, Studentd Experiences, Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS).
