Efektivitas Penggunaan Media Interaktif dalam Meningkatkan Motivasi Belajar Bahasa Arab

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using interactive media in increasing students' motivation to learn Arabic. In the digital era, the need for innovative learning methods is increasingly pressing to adapt to the characteristics of the current generation of learners. Interactive media, such as computer-based learning applications, online platforms, and multimedia devices, are believed to provide a more engaging, dynamic, and participatory learning experience than conventional methods. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving two groups of students: an experimental group using interactive media and a control group using traditional learning methods. Data were obtained through a learning motivation questionnaire adapted from the ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) model and observations during the learning process. The results showed that students in the experimental group experienced a significant increase in learning motivation compared to the control group. Interactive media has been shown to attract attention, foster self-confidence, and increase student learning satisfaction. In addition, students demonstrated higher levels of active engagement, both in understanding vocabulary, grammatical structures, and Arabic communication skills. These findings indicate that the use of interactive media is not only effective in increasing motivation but also has the potential to support the achievement of more optimal learning outcomes. This study recommends that Arabic language educators utilize interactive technology creatively and integrate it into the learning process to create a more engaging, interactive classroom environment that is tailored to the needs and characteristics of students in the digital age.
