Student Perception of the Development of Arabic Learning Model ‎in Intensive Learning Program at IAIN Padangsidimpuan ‎Language Development Center

Abstrak

It is important to unifomite the lectures’ teaching methods and students’ perception is a very important concern in order to create effective and enjoyable learning. The research was conducted to determine the development of the Arabic learning model at the IAIN Padangsidimpuan Language Development Center and students' perception of the model. This research is quantitative descriptive research that is digging research data with observation techniques, interviews, and questionnaire dissemination. This study uses an approach with a non-probability sampling method with a convenience sampling approach. The number of members of the population who are willing to be respondents is 162 students consisting of various Faculties at IAIN Padangsidimpuan who have taken intensive Arabic classes. The data collected is then analyzed using qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative data in analysis uses descriptive analysis while questionnaire data uses analysis of percentage statistical formulas. After processing research data, it was found that the Arabic learning model was the Contectual Teaching and learning (CTL) model and the diretc method. Student perception of the application of the learning model is still in the good category because after the learning process most of them state interesting, although in the aspects of the methods that have been applied, they still expect better development. From the results of this study, researchers recommend developing a better learning model to find a learning model that can make students more comfortable in enjoying learning. In addition to developing learning models, it is also considered important to test the effectiveness of the Contectual Teaching and learning (CTL) model and diretc method.
