Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Arabic language learning at the Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) level using a constructivist perspective, in order to identify the alignment between curricular concepts and classroom practices. This research employs a qualitative approach with a library research design. Data were collected from various scholarly sources, including books, journal articles, and relevant documents, and analyzed using content analysis techniques through stages of identification, classification, and interpretation. The validity of the findings was ensured through source triangulation. The results indicate that, conceptually, the Merdeka Curriculum is highly aligned with constructivist principles, particularly in terms of student-centered learning, flexible instructional planning, and the integration of assessment as an essential component of the learning process. In practice, Arabic language instruction demonstrates a shift toward student-centered learning through the application of active learning models, although teacher-centered approaches still dominate in certain aspects. Assessment practices have begun to adopt authentic and formative approaches, but their implementation remains suboptimal. Furthermore, several challenges persist, including limited teacher pedagogical competence, heterogeneous student abilities, and insufficient learning resources and facilities. Despite these constraints, the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has positively impacted students’ motivation, engagement, and communicative competence in Arabic language learning.

Abstract

Arabic language instruction in various educational institutions in Indonesia is often trapped in a mechanistic approach that focuses exclusively on cognitive aspects, particularly through methods of memorizing grammar rules (qawā’id) and translation. This reductionist approach has been shown to neglect the sociocultural dimensions and psychological realities of learners, which in turn leads to excessive cognitive load, high levels of language anxiety, and low functional communication competence. This article aims to synthesize a psychosociolinguistic framework that bridges internal cognitive processing and external social interaction in Arabic language acquisition. Through a qualitative research method based on Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of the latest literature, this study found that the effectiveness of Arabic language acquisition is highly dependent on the harmonious interdependence between working memory management and sociocultural ecosystem support. Theoretical synthesis indicates that the integration of the language environment (bī’ah lughawiyyah) with cognitive load reduction strategies can yield a holistic learning model. The implementation of a learning framework that is meaningful, mindful, and joyful demands a shift in the instructional paradigm. The implications of this synthesis recommend a transformation of the educator’s role from merely a grammatical instructor to a sociocultural facilitator who mediates cognitive development through authentic social interaction.

Abstract

Ketepatan makharijul huruf menjadi salah satu persoalan mendasar yang dihadapi siswa Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab, mengingat perbedaan sistem fonologi antara bahasa Arab dan bahasa Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran metode qira'ah jahriyah dalam meningkatkan ketepatan makharijul huruf pada pembelajaran bahasa Arab siswa MI melalui pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif analitis dengan metode kajian literatur (literature review). Penelusuran literatur dilakukan melalui basis data Google Scholar, SINTA, dan Garuda. Data dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis isi (content analysis) untuk memetakan pola kesalahan makharijul huruf serta mekanisme penerapan qira'ah jahriyah dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab di jenjang dasar. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa qira'ah jahriyah berperan signifikan dalam membentuk ketepatan makharijul huruf siswa MI melalui tiga mekanisme utama, yaitu peniruan langsung (modelling), koreksi seketika atas kesalahan pelafalan, serta pengulangan terstruktur yang membangun kebiasaan artikulasi yang benar. Efektivitas metode ini dipengaruhi oleh kompetensi guru dalam melafalkan huruf Arab secara tepat, kesesuaian materi bacaan dengan tingkat perkembangan siswa, serta konsistensi pelaksanaan latihan, sementara tantangan utamanya adalah rendahnya penguasaan huruf hijaiyah pada siswa pemula dan interferensi fonologis bahasa ibu. Simpulan penelitian menegaskan bahwa qira'ah jahriyah merupakan metode yang relevan dan strategis untuk diterapkan secara sistematis dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab di MI guna membentuk ketepatan makharijul huruf sejak usia dini, serta perlu diintegrasikan dalam desain kurikulum bahasa Arab MI yang berkesinambungan disertai penguatan kompetensi guru.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of implementing the Al-Barqy method in Aswat learning on the Qur'an reading ability of beginner-level santri (students) at Nurul Amal Islamic Boarding School Ciamis. The research method employed is a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 24 santri in the experimental class and 24 santri in the control class, selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through oral reading tests of selected verses from Juz 'Amma, evaluated based on the dimensions of makhraj (articulation), tajwid (recitation rules), and fluency. The data were statistically analyzed using the Independent Samples T-Test and Normalized Gain (N-Gain) analysis. The main results of the study indicated a significant difference in reading performance between the two groups post-intervention, with a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The average N-Gain score for the experimental class reached 0.7367, falling into the high effectiveness category, outperforming the control class score of 0.6156, which was in the moderate category. The conclusion of this study proves that the Al-Barqy method has a positive and significant influence on improving and accelerating the comprehensive mastery of the santri's Qur'an reading ability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms and rhetorical functions of al-faṣl, al-waṣl, and al-qaṣr in Qur’anic verses on tawḥīd and to explain their contribution to constructing the affirmation and exclusivity of the meaning of tawḥīd. The study employs a qualitative approach based on library research using textual analysis within the framework of Qur’anic rhetoric (balāghah Qur’āniyyah), particularly the branch of ʿilm al-maʿānī. The research data consist of selected Qur’anic verses on tawḥīd, which are analyzed through the identification of the forms of al-faṣl, al-waṣl, and al-qaṣr as well as their rhetorical functions based on the perspective of ʿilm al-maʿānī and the theory of an-naẓm proposed by Abdul Qahir al-Jurjani. The findings reveal that al-qaṣr is the most dominant rhetorical element in the verses of tawḥīd, particularly through the patterns of al-nafy wa al-istithnāʾ and taqdīm mā ḥaqqahu al-taʾkhīr, which function to emphasize the exclusivity of divinity and worship devoted solely to Allah. Meanwhile, al-faṣl functions to strengthen emphasis, separation of meaning, and theological affirmation, whereas al-waṣl establishes continuity and interconnectedness of meaning within the structure of the verses. This study demonstrates that the rhetorical structures of Qur’anic verses on tawḥīd are systematically arranged to reinforce the affirmation of tawḥīd, indicating that the miraculous nature of the Qur’an lies not only in its linguistic aesthetics, but also in the systematic relationship between linguistic structure and the construction of theological meaning.

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to identify issues in Mahārah Kitābah instruction at the university level and to formulate practical solutions to improve students’ Arabic writing skills. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with 15 students from the Arabic Language Education Program at Al-Azhaar Nusantara Islamic University in Lubuklinggau as research subjects. Data were collected through interviews and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques involving data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that Mahārah Kitābah plays a strategic role in Arabic language learning as it serves as an indicator of comprehensive language proficiency. The challenges in teaching Mahārah Kitābah can be classified into three main aspects: linguistic, pedagogical, and students’ academic backgrounds. Linguistic challenges include difficulties in mastering nahwu, sharaf, vocabulary, and imla’. In the pedagogical aspect, the study found a predominance of theoretical learning, limited teaching materials, and a lack of writing practice and feedback. Meanwhile, differences in educational backgrounds also influence students’ initial abilities. This study offers solutions in the form of strengthening writing practice, implementing Project-Based Learning and Collaborative Learning, providing continuous feedback, and utilizing educational technology to improve the quality of Mahārah Kitābah instruction

Abstract

This research aims to examine the elements of Ilmu Bayān contained in the book al-Ḍiyā’u al-Lāmi‘ bi-Żikri Mawlidi al-Nabī al-Syāfi‘ by al-‘Allāmah Al-Habib Umar bin Muhammad bin Sālim bin Ḥāfiẓ. This study explains the rhetorical content that includes three aspects: tasybīh, majāz, and kināyah within the text. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method with content analysis techniques to describe the bayān elements found in the book. This mawlid book, whose author is still alive today, holds high literary value. The study identifies 31 poetic lines containing elements of Ilmu Bayān, consisting of 3 lines with tasybīh, 26 with majāz, and 2 with kināyah. These three elements not only beautify the language but also strengthen the meanings that convey praise for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This research is expected to broaden the understanding of Ilmu Bayān application in contemporary Islamic works, and to demonstrate the relevance of balāgah in enriching the literary and spiritual values of religious texts.
