The Effectiveness of Using ClassDojo Educational Points on Arabic Language Vocabulary Mastery

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of using educational points thru the ClassDojo application on the Arabic vocabulary mastery of 10th-grade students. This study uses a quantitative approach with an experimental design involving 50 students as research subjects. Data was collected thru a pretest and a posttest to measure students' vocabulary mastery level before and after the implementation of educational points. Data analysis began with prerequisite tests, namely normality and homogeneity tests, which showed that the pretest and posttest data were normally distributed and homogeneous (Sig. > 0.05). Subsequently, testing was conducted using the paired t-test, which showed a significant difference in learning outcomes between pretest and posttest scores (t = -7.435; p < 0.001). To determine the level of improvement in learning outcomes, the N-Gain test was used, with an average value of 0.495, which falls into the moderate category. The average pretest score is 6.3, and the average posttest score is 8.6. These results indicate that using educational points thru the ClassDojo application is effective in improving students' Arabic vocabulary mastery and can be used as an innovative and engaging alternative learning strategy.
