PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN MEDIA QUESTION CARD TERHADAP MINAT BELAJAR BAHASA ARAB SISWA KELAS VIII SMPIT AZ-ZUHRA PEKANBARU

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low interest of students in learning Arabic, which is characterized by a lack of enthusiasm and active participation in the classroom. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of using Question Card media on increasing the Arabic learning interest of eighth-grade students at SMPIT Az-Zuhra Pekanbaru. This research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental method using a Control Group Design model. The research sample was divided into two groups: the experimental class, which was treated using Question Card media, and the control class, which used conventional methods. Data were collected through observation, documentation, tests, and the distribution of Likert scale questionnaires that had been tested for reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.740). Based on the results of data analysis using the Independent Samples t-Test, a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 was obtained. Because the Sig. value is 0.000 < 0.05, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. It can be concluded that there is a positive and significant effect of using Question Card media on students' interest in learning Arabic. This media has proven to be effective in reducing boredom and creating a more interactive, competitive, and fun learning atmosphere for students.
