Differentiation Strategies for Arabic Language Learning in the Context of the Independent Curriculum: A Solution for Diverse Student Abilities

2024-12-11T03:15:14+08:00

Background: The process of teaching Arabic in Indonesian schools is quite a complicated challenge for teachers, especially when faced with differences in student abilities that require adjusting the teaching model.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the application of differentiation strategies in Arabic language learning within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum through a review of available literature, as well as identify challenges and opportunities for success as reflected in the results of previous studies.

Methods: This research uses a literature study approach, in which researchers review existing literature to collect, analyze, and summarize information related to differentiation strategies in Arabic language learning and the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Results and Discussion: The results show that differentiation strategies contribute significantly to learning effectiveness, improving student engagement and learning outcomes. However, challenges such as limited time, resources and institutional support remain. This research provides guidance for teachers and policy makers to design more inclusive and effective learning.

Conclusions and Implications: The conclusion of this study shows that differentiation strategy significantly contributes to improving the effectiveness of Arabic language learning. In its implementation, this strategy has a positive impact on the aspect of increasing students' engagement and their learning outcomes, especially in adjusting their very diverse abilities and learning styles. In addition, the role of technology is very important in supporting the process of implementing differentiation strategies, although the limitations of time and resources remain a major challenge in its implementation. The implications of implementing differentiation strategies from both theoretical and practical perspectives indicate the need to develop new learning models and teacher training programs.

Scientific Knowledge Integration and Overlapping Methodological Mechanisms in the Arab-Islamic Culture Analytical- Explanatory Study.

2024-12-11T03:13:31+08:00

Background: The research starts from the issue of specialization and its consequences, which led to the fragmentation of sciences, causing humans to lose a holistic cognitive view of various aspects of religious and worldly life. This contrasts with the perspective of ancient Muslim scholars and their deep understanding of existence, as they possessed integrated scientific mechanisms during a time when the cognitive sciences were interconnected, overlapping, and linked to the Quranic text.

Purpose This paper aims to explore the concept of knowledge integration and its scientific mechanisms within Arab-Islamic culture. It highlights the contributions of Muslim scholars in establishing this concept and its role in advancing scientific progress across ages, linking it to the Quran. The study focuses on the interconnection of knowledge and sciences, their integration in serving and studying the Quran through an objective scientific approach grounded in transmitted, rational, and linguistic science.

Method: he research is based on two methodologies: the integrative approach in presenting research knowledge according to a functional interpretive pattern of a series of progressive and interconnected scientific concepts that cover various topics related to the sciences of language, doctrinal sciences, and rational sciences among Muslim scholars, without dividing knowledge into separate fields. The second methodology is the analytical approach, which analyzes the issue of cognitive specialization and highlights its shortcomings in contrast to the integrative and holistic knowledge found among Muslim scholars.

Results and Discussion: The research results revealed a scientific overlap between linguistic, religious, and philosophical mechanisms, demonstrating a mutual benefit and exchange between the sciences, both in content and form. This integration is one of the key factors in the development, advancement, and semantic flourishing of sciences, free from intellectual conflict, serving humanity and facilitating both its religious and worldly affairs.

Conclusions and Implications: The integration of knowledge across sciences has sparked the curiosity of scholars and those interested in science and knowledge, as they found in these fields a source of fascination that strengthens their passion for science and love of learning. The study also recommends conducting new integrative studies between transmitted and rational sciences in the study of Quranic miracles and their application to reality.

Development of Interactive Media Based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Facilitate Arabic Language Learning

2024-12-22T22:54:35+08:00

Background: Educational technology plays a significant role in the teaching and learning process, particularly in addressing various challenges educators and students face. In this digital era, innovative learning technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), were increasingly applied, especially in school Arabic language instruction.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop AI-based interactive media to facilitate Arabic language learning at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Al-Muhajirin Parungi.

Methods: This research utilized the Research and Development (R&D) process.

Results and Discussion: The findings indicated that teachers and students required practical learning media for Arabic language acquisition. Following the analysis, interactive press was developed, featuring engaging designs, audio-visual integration, and leveraging AI-based applications such as text-to-speech (TTS) and background image erasers. This media product was validated by experts, achieving a score of 90%, which indicated high feasibility. The media was then implemented with students and teachers, receiving positive feedback, with 88% of teachers and 86% of students affirming that the media was highly suitable for use.

Conclusion and Implication: This study successfully developed AI-based interactive media that proved to be highly effective, showing significant improvements in students’ Arabic language learning outcomes. Statistical tests revealed a p-value smaller than 0.05 and an N Gain Score of 67.92%, indicating the effectiveness of the media in enhancing students’ Arabic language skills. This innovation was expected to positively impact learning at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Al-Muhajirin Parungi.
