PENERAPAN METODE BERMAIN PERAN PADA MATA PELAJARAN BAHASA ARAB UNTUK MEMPERMUDAH MENGHAFAL MUFRODAT PARA SISWA RAUDHATUL ATHFAL EL-FAJR PALEMBANG

Abstrak

This study aims to describe the application of role-playing methods in Arabic subjects to facilitate students in memorizing vocabulary at Raudhatul Athfal El-Fajr Palembang. The background of this study is based on the low ability of students to remember and understand Arabic vocabulary effectively through conventional methods that are monotonous and less involving active student activity. The role-playing method was chosen because it is interactive, fun, and allows students to internalize vocabulary through direct experience and real contexts. The research approach used is a qualitative approach with a field research type, where data is collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving teachers and students as the main subjects. Data analysis was carried out using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that the application of the role-playing method significantly had a positive impact on students' ability to memorize vocabulary. Role-playing activities allow students to be actively involved in the learning process, demonstrate everyday life situations that are relevant to the material, and create a conducive and enjoyable learning atmosphere. The teacher also acts as a facilitator who guides students in understanding the context of using vocabulary appropriately. The obstacles faced include time constraints and less than optimal role variations, but this can be overcome with careful planning and teacher creativity in compiling role scenarios. Thus, the role-playing method has proven effective as an Arabic language learning strategy at the Raudhatul Athfal level, especially in improving students' memory and vocabulary mastery as a whole.
