PENERAPAN METODE PEMBELAJARAN MENYANYI BAHASA ARAB UNTUK MEMAHAMI KOSAKATA SEDERHANA PADA SISWA KELAS IV MI DARUL MUNAJAH JATI AGUNG LAMPUNG SELATAN

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing the singing method in improving the understanding of basic Arabic vocabulary among fourth-grade students at MI Darul Munajah, Jati Agung, South Lampung. The research background stems from the low mastery of vocabulary, as indicated by the pre-cycle results, where only 24% of students achieved the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM). This research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles with 25 students as the subjects. Data collection techniques included observation, achievement tests, interviews, and documentation, which were analyzed using descriptive qualitative and simple quantitative methods. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery. The average score increased from 65 in the pre-cycle to 74 in cycle I, and reached 84 in cycle II. The percentage of mastery also increased from 24% in the pre-cycle, 56% in cycle I, to 100% in cycle II. Moreover, the application of the singing method successfully enhanced students’ motivation, participation, and self-confidence during learning activities. Therefore, this study concludes that the singing method is an effective and innovative teaching strategy to improve learning outcomes while creating an enjoyable classroom atmosphere for Arabic language learning at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah level.
