Abstract

Learning al-Qowa’id al-Nahwiyyah required an effective approach. The study evaluated use of concept maps strategy in teaching al-Qowa’id al-Nahwiyyah at Al-Hidayah Islamic boarding school in Karang Ploso and compared its effectiveness with lecture method. The approach employed both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Qualitative data were analyzed using Sugiyono's model, while quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 25. The research findings indicated that the utilization of concept maps strategy at Al-Hidayah Islamic boarding school was carried out through several steps, including Introduction of Material, mind map creation, Group Discussion, and Practice. The students perceived that the concept mapping strategy could help organize information effectively, as evidenced by the average satisfaction questionnaire score of 83.4%. Although the use of concept maps was favored by the students, this strategy did not show a significant difference compared to the lecture method, with only a slight average score difference of 1.07. The average score for the concept maps strategy was 85.25, while for the lecture method it was 84.18. As the analysis results using SPSS indicated a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.612 > 0.05 and t value (0.510) < t table (2.042), it was understood that the concept maps strategy did not have a significant difference compared to the lecture method in teaching al-Qowa’id al-Nahwiyyah. Therefore, teaching al-Qowa’id al-Nahwiyyah using the concept maps strategy was not more effective compared to the lecture method as both could equally enhance students' abilities optimally.
