PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI AI DALAM MENINGKATKAN MAHARAH ISTIMA’ BAHASA ARAB DI ERA DIGITAL

Dinda Januarlita, Eko Yarno Saputro
Abstract: Kemampuan menyimak (maharah istima’) merupakan salah satu keterampilan dasar yang paling krusial sekaligus paling sulit dikuasai dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab, terutama di konteks perguruan tinggi Islam di Indonesia. Mahasiswa… Mahasiswa kerap menghadapi hambatan berupa minimnya paparan audio autentik, terbatasnya umpan balik yang segera, dan kurangnya media pembelajaran yang adaptif. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji secara mendalam bagaimana teknologi kecerdasan buatan (AI) dapat diimplementasikan secara efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan istima’ mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Arab STAI Nurul Falah Air Molek. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam dengan delapan mahasiswa dan dua dosen, serta analisis dokumen pembelajaran selama satu semester. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi platform AI berbasis pengenalan suara otomatis (Automatic Speech Recognition/ASR), seperti Google Speech API, Forvo, dan aplikasi Duolingo Arabic, secara signifikan meningkatkan intensitas dan kualitas latihan menyimak mahasiswa. Mahasiswa melaporkan peningkatan pemahaman kosakata kontekstual sebesar 40–60%, dan kepercayaan diri dalam menyimak teks Arab autentik meningkat secara terukur. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa AI bukan sekadar alat bantu, melainkan dapat berperan sebagai mitra belajar adaptif yang mampu menjawab kelemahan metode konvensional dalam pengajaran maharah istima’.

THE EFFECT OF DIGITAL LITERACY ON STUDENTS’ LEARNING OUTCOMES IN A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS COURSE IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING STUDY PROGRAM AT UNIVERSITAS HAMZANWADI

Isnein Akbar, Mutia Permata Sari, Agus Muliadi Putra
Abstract: The rapid development of information and communication technologies has significantly transformed higher education. Teaching and learning processes are increasingly supported by digital platforms, Learning Management Systems&#8230; tems (LMS), and abundant online learning resources. In this context, university students are required to possess adequate digital literacy, particularly in software- and spatial-analysis-based courses such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which is a key course in the Environmental Engineering curriculum. This study aimed to analyze the effect of digital literacy on students’ learning outcomes in a GIS course offered in the Environmental Engineering Study Program at Universitas Hamzanwadi. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed. The population consisted of students enrolled in the GIS course in the odd semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, and all 44 students were taken as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. Digital literacy was measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) covering technical skills, information search and evaluation, information management, online communication and collaboration, and ethical use of digital media, while learning outcomes were obtained from the final course grades. The data analysis showed that the mean score of students’ digital literacy was 3.6 (moderately high), with a standard deviation of 0.45, whereas the mean GIS course grade was 78.5 with a standard deviation of 6.8. Pearson correlation analysis indicated a positive and significant relationship between digital literacy and learning outcomes (r = 0.62; p < 0.01). Simple linear regression further revealed that digital literacy accounted for approximately 38% of the variance in learning outcomes (R² = 0.38), with the regression equation Ŷ = 52.3 + 7.3X. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening students’ digital literacy in GIS instruction through training, project-based assignments, and the optimal utilization of Learning Management Systems.

basra, Basrawati, Munirah, Haslinda
Abstract: This research aims to develop Indonesian learning tools based on the Deep Learning approach  to improve critical thinking skills and mastery of language concepts of elementary school students. The research was carried out&#8230; ut at SDN 16 Bangkala, Jeneponto Regency, in the odd semester of the 2025/2026 school year with 25 subjects in grade IV. The development model used is the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. The validation results of three experts showed that the teaching modules developed were classified as very valid with an average feasibility level of 89%. The implementation of learning using Deep Learning syntax (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) shows an increase in student activity and involvement in the learning process. Based on the results of the data analysis, the average value of critical thinking skills increased from 61.2 to 83.6 with an N-Gain of 0.58 (medium-high category), while the mastery of language concepts increased from 63.4 to 86.8 with an N-Gain of 0.63 (high category). The results of the t-test showed p < 0.05 which means that there was a significant increase after the implementation of Deep Learning-based learning. Thus, it can be concluded that the Indonesian teaching module based  on the Deep Learning approach  is effective in improving students' critical thinking skills and mastery of language concepts. This approach is able to create learning that is aware, meaningful, and fun, and in line with the principles of the Independent Curriculum which emphasizes differentiated and student-centered learning.

Abstract: This research aims to develop a mathematics learning device oriented toward the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach based on Ethnomathematics to improve students’ mathematical problem-solving skills at MTs Negeri&#8230; egeri 3 Tapanuli Selatan. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using the 4-D model, which consists of four stages: defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. The research subjects were 36 seventh-grade students in the second semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. The instruments used included expert validation sheets, teacher and student practicality questionnaires, classroom observation sheets, and mathematical problem-solving tests. The results revealed that the developed learning device achieved an average expert validation score of 4.25 in the very valid category in terms of content, language, and presentation. The practicality test showed that the teacher’s response reached 89% and the students’ response reached 91%, categorized as very practical, indicating that the device was easy to use and engaging for students. The effectiveness test showed an average N-Gain score of 0.52 (moderate category) with 86.11% of students achieving mastery learning, signifying that the learning device was effective in enhancing students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities. The integration of the realistic mathematics approach with local cultural elements (ethnomathematics) successfully created meaningful and contextual learning experiences while fostering students’ appreciation for their cultural heritage. Therefore, the developed learning device is feasible to be implemented as an innovative mathematics learning medium based on cultural contexts in junior high schools and madrasah.

Priti, Priti Ike Jelita
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of religiosity and academic resilience on decreasing the level of academic anxiety of students of the Master of Islamic Education Program at the Sultan Syarif Kasim State Islamic&#8230; University, Riau. Academic anxiety is a common psychological challenge experienced by postgraduate students. Religiosity and academic resilience are seen as protective factors that can help students manage academic stress in a healthier way. This study uses a quantitative method with data collection techniques in the form of questionnaires and documentation. The research sample consisted of 41 students from three semesters selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was carried out using the independent sample t-test using SPSS version 25. The results showed that religiosity had a significant effect on academic anxiety with a significance value of 0.029, while academic resilience showed a stronger effect with a significance value of 0.000. Because the significance results of both variables are less than 0.05, the higher the religiosity and academic resilience of students, the lower their level of academic anxiety. This finding confirms that the integration of the values ​​of religiosity and resilience is very important in supporting students' mental resilience. Strengthening religiosity and fostering academic resilience can be effective strategies to reduce academic anxiety in postgraduate higher education.
