Abstract

This study is intended to examine the impact of the use of Pegon Arabic text from the book Alalā Tanālul 'Ilma version of Pegon Kediri on the increase in interest in learning Arabic among grade XI students of SMA Negeri 1 Bunobogu. This study departs from the need to integrate local culture in learning Arabic so that the learning process becomes more contextual and meaningful for students. The method used is in the form of a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of the One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The research subjects were 60 students who were determined through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through learning interest questionnaires, observations, and documentation, then processed using the Paired Sample t-Test with the help of statistical software. The results of the analysis showed a significant increase in the average score of students' learning interest, from 62.23 at the pretest to 79.43 at the posttest, with a value of t(59) = 24.14 and p < 0.001. The findings indicate that the use of Pegon Arabic text is effective in increasing students' interest in learning Arabic. Theoretically, the results of this study confirm that learning that integrates local culture contributes positively to learning motivation and engagement. Practically, this study recommends the Pegon Arabic text as one of the alternative learning media that is contextual and relevant for the teaching of Arabic in public schools and Islamic boarding schools.
