Abstract

Background: Arabic language learning in Madrasah Aliyah still faces challenges, including low student interest and learning outcomes, because the material is considered difficult and instruction tends to be monotonous, making interactive technology-based media necessary to increase student engagement.

Purpose: This study analyzed the effectiveness of the Alef Education platform as an interactive medium in improving Arabic learning interest and outcomes among grade XI students at MAN 1 Enrekang.

Method: A quantitative quasi-experimental Nonequivalent Control Group Design was used. Of 233 grade XI students, 64 were selected through purposive sampling into a control class (XI B, n=32) and experimental class (XI D, n=32), with baseline equivalence confirmed (p>0.05). Data were collected via observation, a 15-item Likert-scale learning interest questionnaire, pretest–posttest achievement tests, and documentation.

Results and Discussion: Post-treatment learning interest was high (mean=83.38; range=74–96) and learning outcomes were also high (mean=83.31; range=63–93), with significant effects (p=0.001<0.05) on both variables.

Conclusions and Implications: Alef Education is effective in increasing students' interest and achievement in Arabic learning; however, successful implementation requires adequate devices, stable internet, and pedagogical readiness.
