2025-04-12T20:25:52+08:00

Background: This research is motivated by the importance of innovation in learning evaluation media, especially in improving the quality of the Maharah Al Kitabah evaluation at Mutiara Al Madani Islamic Junior High School. So far, the evaluation methods used are still conventional and less able to arouse students' interest in learning. Based on observations and interviews with Arabic language teachers, it is known that the Wordwall application has been utilized as an alternative evaluation media that is more interesting and interactive.

Purpose: This research aims to describe the utilization of Wordwall application as an evaluation media for Maharah Al Kitabah.

Method: This research used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data sources consisted of Arabic teachers and learning activities in class VIII. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, while the data were collected through participatory observation and semi-structured interviews. The instruments used were observation guidelines and interview guidelines. The data analysis procedure followed the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.

Results and Discussion: The results showed that the use of Wordwall helped teachers in preparing varied and fun evaluations and was able to increased student involvement in the learning process of Maharah Al Kitabah. This research also fills the gap related to the lack of utilisation of digital media in Arabic learning evaluation.

Conclusions and Implications: In conclusion, Wordwall is effectively used as an evaluation medium for Maharah Al Kitabah and has a positive impact on students' learning process. The implication is that teachers need to continue to develop the utilisation of digital media in learning evaluation and become a reference for further research in the field of Arabic language education.

Background: This research is based on the importance of vocabulary mastery as an indicator of language learning success. Learning Arabic at Alhijrah Kindergarten, which uses flashcards too often, causes student boredom. With interactive features like videos, animations, and links, Google Slides offers a more engaging and fun alternative to vocabulary learning.

Purpose: This study aims to test the effectiveness of using Google Slides in improving students’ mastery of Arabic vocabulary in Alhijrah Islamic Kindergarten.

Method: This research design is a quantitative experiment that tests the effectiveness of Google Slides on the mastery of Arabic vocabulary of Alhijrah Islamic Kindergarten students.

Result and Discussion: The results showed a significant increase in students’ vocabulary mastery after using Google Slides, with an average posttest score of 80.75 compared to the average pretest score of 47.75. In the experimental class, the average value difference between the pretest and the posttest was -28,250, with a standard deviation of 11,271. As for the control class, the average score difference between the pretest and the posttest was -10,000, with a standard deviation of 6,283. The output results of the paired sample test showed that the significance value (p-value) was 0.000. Because the value obtained from 0.000 was less than 0.05, it can be concluded that Google Slides effectively improves students’ vocabulary mastery.

Conclusion and Implications: Google Slides has proven effective in improving the mastery of Arabic vocabulary in Alhijrah Islamic Kindergarten. Students significantly improve their remembering and understanding of new vocabulary through its interactive and multimedia features, contributing to their Arabic language skills. As a research implication, Alhijrah Islamic Kindergarten teachers should regularly integrate Google Slides in learning Arabic vocabulary to create more interactive learning.
