Developing Mobile Learning Media for Arabic Language Instruction at Islamic Senior High School in Lampung Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to develop a mobile learning media for Arabic learning and to investigate the feasibility and effect of the developed media on students' learning outcome. This is a research and development study which involves a process to develop and validate educational product conducted at MAN 2 Bandar Lampung. This study employs the modified model of development proposed by Hannafin and Peck which consists of three phases: (1) needs analysis; (2) design; and (3) development/implementation. This research produces a product in the form of mobile learning media for Arabic learning at Islamic Senior High School (Madrasah Aliyah) with an offline operational system using a smartphone (Android). The product development process was done using Construct 2 software and Cocoon.io on the https://www.cocoon.io/. The product feasibility was validated by the material expert with the score of 4.85 or 97.14%, by the media expert with the score of 5 of 100%, and by the expert of instructional design with the score of 4.6 or92%. This means that all these three validations belong to the highly feasible category. The effectiveness of the product was tested using the t-test with a significant level of α = 0.05. Based on the result of calculations using the t-test, the obtained values of tcritical and ttablearetcritical = 14.342> ttable = 2.086 with the differences in learning outcomes amounting 49.04462. It can be concluded that the mobile learning media of Arabic learning is very suitable to be used in learning and very effective to improve students’ learning outcome. Compared to the previous studies, this current research comes up with relatively new ideas in terms of involving the four language skills in Arabic learning as well as the interactive quizzes for those skills. Not only does this make this product effective and efficient, but also comprehensive.
