EFEKTIVITAS MEDIA SCRAPTA DALAM KETERAMPILAN MENULIS BAHASA ARAB KELAS VII SMP NU PAJOMBLANGAN PEKALONGAN

Abstract

Writing skills are one of the competencies that students must achieve in learning Arabic. The writing ability of seventh-grade students at SMP NU Pajomblangan Pekalongan is still low. This is based on an interview with the Arabic language teacher at SMP NU Pajomblangan, who stated that one of the students' problems in writing skills is their inability to differentiate Arabic letters, making it difficult for them to write these letters without examples, along with other factors such as the lack of variety in the media used by the teacher. Therefore, there is a need for innovative media that can support student learning and motivate students, subsequently improving their learning outcomes. One such medium is SCRAPTA (Scrapbook Theme for Arabic). The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the SCRAPTA (Scrapbook Theme for Arabic) learning media in teaching Arabic writing skills to seventh-grade students at SMP NU Pajomblangan Pekalongan. This research is quantitative and quasi-experimental in nature, utilizing a one-equivalent control group design. Data collection techniques include tests and non-test methods. The instruments used include written tests and non-test instruments such as observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis techniques involve calculating the mean (average), normality tests, homogeneity tests, and hypothesis testing. The results of this study indicate that the application of SCRAPTA (Scrapbook Theme For Arabic) media is effective for teaching writing skills at SMP NU Pajomblangan Pekalongan. This is evidenced by the pretest and posttest results in both the control and experimental classes. The control class had an average pretest score of 50.92 and an average posttest score of 65.15. The experimental class had an average pretest score of 52 and an average posttest score of 74.23. This shows an improvement in both the control and experimental classes' pretest and posttest scores. The t-test calculation using SPSS 26 for writing skills obtained a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.005. Since 0.005 < 0.05, based on the decision rule in the independent samples t-test, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, meaning there is a significant difference. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of SCRAPTA (Scrapbook Theme for Arabic) media is effective in teaching Arabic writing skills to seventh-grade students at SMP NU Pajomblangan Pekalongan.
