Penggunaan Media Pembelajaran Interaktif Berbasis Teknologi untuk Meningkatkan Minat dan Kemampuan Menulis Siswa dalam Bahasa Arab di MTsN 2 Balangan

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) explores the use of interactive technology-based learning media to enhance students' interest and writing skills in Arabic at MTsN 2 Balangan. The research involves 32 students from the eighth grade. The main objective of this study is to assess how the integration of digital tools, such as interactive apps, online games, and multimedia presentations, can increase students' engagement in Arabic writing tasks and improve their writing proficiency. Data was collected through classroom observations, pre- and post-tests, and student surveys. The results indicate that the use of interactive media significantly increased students' interest in learning Arabic and motivated them to engage more actively in writing activities. Students showed marked improvement in their writing skills, particularly in sentence structure, vocabulary use, and coherence. This study concludes that integrating technology-based learning media into Arabic instruction can be a powerful tool to enhance both the motivation and the academic performance of students. It is recommended that this approach be further explored and applied in other language classrooms to foster an interactive, engaging, and effective learning environment.
