Efektivitas Permainan ABC Lima Dasar terhadap Kemampuan Menghafal Mufrodat Bahasa Arab Siswa Kelas XI MA Salafiyah Syafi’iyah Seblak Jombang

Abstract

This study was motivated by the absence of game-based learning in Arabic language instruction at MA Salafiyah Syafi’iyah Seblak Jombang, particularly games designed to facilitate the memorization of Arabic vocabulary (mufrodat). Therefore, this research aims to examine the effectiveness of the ABC Lima Dasar game in improving the vocabulary memorization skills of eleventh-grade students. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model. Data collection techniques included tests (pretest and posttest) and documentation. The findings revealed that the ABC Lima Dasar game created an active and enjoyable learning environment, increasing students’ enthusiasm for the learning process. Quantitatively, posttest scores increased by 33.01% compared to pretest results. The paired sample t-test showed a significance value below 0.05, indicating that the game was effective in enhancing students’ mastery of Arabic vocabulary.
