Abstract

This research is motivated by the problem in the preparation of Arabic midterm questions that have not followed the correct procedure, so that the quality in measuring Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) has not been guaranteed. This study aims to analyze the HOTS dimensions in Arabic questions, assess the validity, reliability, difficulty level, and differentiating power of the questions, and provide recommendations for developing HOTS-based questions. The method used is descriptive quantitative with the subject 172 students of class XI SMA Nusantara Plus. Data were obtained from 35 multiple-choice questions, which were analyzed using Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) with R software, and validity and reliability were tested with SPSS. The results showed that 70% of the questions were effective in measuring HOTS, with the dominance of questions measuring the analysis dimension. However, some questions still show bias in the evaluation dimension that needs to be corrected. The validity of the questions was proven with a loading factor > 0.3, and high reliability with Cronbach’s Alpha 0.85. In addition, 50% of the questions have a medium level of difficulty and good differentiating power. In conclusion, the Arabic test questions are quite effective in measuring HOTS, but need improvement in a more even distribution of HOTS dimensions. Further research is recommended to develop more varied and quality HOTS-based questions.

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology and social media has brought significant transformations across various aspects of life, including language education, particularly Arabic language learning in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the implementation of technology and social media-based Arabic language instruction in Indonesia, while examining the gap between ideal theoretical frameworks of modern pedagogy and the on-the-ground realities faced by educational institutions. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach, the research methodology incorporates literature reviews, policy documentation analysis, and institutional research reports. Findings reveal that despite increased adoption of digital platforms such as WhatsApp, YouTube, and online quiz tools by some educators and institutions, technological implementation still faces major challenges. These include infrastructure limitations, teachers' digital literacy gaps, and cultural resistance-especially within traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). Conversely, significant development opportunities exist through localized content innovation, partnerships with global platforms, and the utilization of affordable, accessible technologies. The study recommends an integrated approach combining teacher capacity building, infrastructure development, and government affirmative policies to bridge the divide between theoretical ideals and practical implementation. This research is intended to serve as a foundational contribution toward developing a digital transformation roadmap for Arabic language education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Arabic is an important international language that is not easy to learn, both for native speakers and foreign learners. In Indonesia, the teaching of Arabic often depends on the teacher’s ability and motivation, which vary widely. This study examines the cognitive approach in teaching Arabic vocabulary (mufradat) at UIN Maliki Malang, which is currently facing low vocabulary mastery among second-semester students. This qualitative research involves observation, interviews, and document analysis, focusing on the role of lecturers as facilitators and the use of cognitive approaches in vocabulary learning. The results of the study indicate that the cognitive approach, which involves mental processes and active student interaction, can enhance students’ understanding and engagement in learning Arabic. The analysis of singular and plural forms in noun sentences helps students develop critical and creative thinking skills, as well as improve learning motivation and self-confidence.

Abstract

This paper tries to analyze verbal clauses in the short story Al-Hilm Ar- -Ra’i by Najeeb Al-Kailani by paying attention to the types and functions within the text. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using library research and short story analysis methods. The syntactic approach is used in this study.  The focus of this research is the analysis of verbal clauses in the short story Al-Hilm Ar- Ra’i by Najeeb Al-Kailani as primary data. Secondary data were obtained from books and scientific articles using the syntactic analysis theory by Musthafa Al-Ghulayaini. The data collected consists of verbal clauses or jumlah fi’liyyah. The data collection technique used is the library research technique. Data analysis techniques include four parts: identifying the data, determining the data, and examining the data results. The results of the study show two types and positions of clauses. First, clauses that occupy a function in the sentence structure; within the short story, there were 9 verbal clauses (from all 27 data) that occupy a function in the sentences. Second, clauses that do not occupy a function in the sentence structure are indicated by 18 data. However, based on their positions, clauses can be divided into two categories: complete clauses and incomplete clauses. There were 9 complete clauses, and 7 incomplete clauses found. This research provides an in-depth understanding of verbal clauses and their various types and positions, as well as their relevance to theories in syntactic analysis. The implications of these findings can be used to help readers or other researchers expand their knowledge of Arabic language structure and possibly apply it in different contexts.

Abstract

Game-based learning, incorporating both digital and traditional methods, has been extensively researched over the past decade. The current research aimed to conduct an in-depth investigation into implementation of the Truth or Dare with Spin the Wheel game in Arabic speaking learning. This research employs a qualitative approach, integrating observation and interviews, conducted within a learning environment consisting of 34 students. The results revealed that the implementation of Truth or Dare with Spin the Wheel in Arabic speaking learning involved three stages. First, preparation included setting up the Spin the Wheel application and preparing Truth or Dare questions. Next, the opening stage introduced the learning flow using the game. Then, the core stage had students actively participating by responding to questions or challenges in Arabic, followed by evaluation of their responses in the final stage. The game was considered successful in increasing students' active engagement in speaking Arabic, this is supported by observational data showing a 40% increase in student participation during game sessions compared to regular class activities, with each student taking an average of 3 speaking turns per session with the game versus just 1 turn per session in traditional methods, alongside a 50% rise in peer interactions, a 35% increase in teacher-student interactions, and a notable boost in confidence levels, as evidenced by more students volunteering to participate without hesitation.  Future research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of using the Truth or Dare with Spin the Wheel game in Arabic speaking learning.
