ABSTRAK
Bahasa Arab memainkan peranan penting dalam konteks agama, pendidikan, dan budaya. Sebagai sebuah negara dengan populasi majoriti Muslim, pengajaran dan pembelajaran Bahasa Arab di Malaysia memfokuskan kepada pemahaman Al-Quran dan pengajian Islam. Oleh itu, Bahasa Arab dijadikan sebagai salah satu subjek dalam kurikulum kebangsaan di sekolah-sekolah menengah dan institusi pengajian tinggi bagi mencapai Kemahiran Bahasa Arab. Namun, kajian mendapati pencapaian bahasa Arab pelajar di Malaysia masih berada pada tahap yang tidak memuaskan. Antara faktor yang mempengaruhi pencapaian pelajar adalah kerana latar belakang dan minat yang berbeza. Oleh itu, kajian ini mengkaji pengaruh minat dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya terhadap pencapaian kemahiran Bahasa Arab dalam kalangan calon peperiksaan Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM). Kajian melibatkan calon STPM yang mengambil mata pelajaran bahasa Arab di sekolah menengah di Terengganu, Malaysia. Data dikumpulkan melalui tinjauan dan dianalisis menggunakan kaedah statistik deskriptif dan korelasi. Melalui analisis statistik deskriptif dan inferensi, kajian ini meneroka hubungan antara tahap minat dan pencapaian dalam bahasa tersebut. Dapatan menunjukkan korelasi yang signifikan antara tahap minat dan prestasi akademik dalam mata pelajaran Bahasa Arab. Walaupun pelajar menunjukkan tahap minat yang berbeza, pencapaian mereka dalam mata pelajaran Bahasa Arab di peringkat Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) didapati sederhana secara purata. Selain itu, hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat dua faktor utama yang mempengaruhi minat, iaitu relevansi peribadi dan pengalaman pembelajaran positif. Justeru, kajian ini menekankan kepada kepentingan mengasah minat pelajar melalui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi minat yang lain seperti kaedah pengajaran yang berkesan dan pembentukan persekitaran pembelajaran yang kondusif untuk meningkatkan kemahiran Bahasa Arab di kalangan calon STPM.
ABSTRACT
The Arabic language plays an important role in the context of religion, education, and culture. As a country with a majority Muslim population, the teaching and learning of Arabic in Malaysia focus on the understanding of the Quran and Islamic studies. Therefore, Arabic is included as one of the subjects in the national curriculum in secondary schools and higher education institutions to achieve Arabic language proficiency. However, studies have found that students' achievements in Arabic in Malaysia are still at an unsatisfactory level. Factors influencing student achievement include different backgrounds and interests. Thus, this study examines the influence of interest and the factors affecting it on the achievement of Arabic language skills among Malaysian Higher School Certificate (STPM) examination candidates. The study involves STPM candidates taking the Arabic language subject in secondary schools in Terengganu, Malaysia. Data were collected through surveys and analyzed using descriptive and correlation statistical methods. Through descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, this study explores the relationship between the level of interest and achievement in the subject. The findings show a significant correlation between the level of interest and academic performance in the Arabic language subject. Although students showed varying levels of interest, their achievement in the Arabic language subject at the Malaysian Certificate of Education (SPM) level was found to be moderate on average. Additionally, the study results indicate that there are two main factors influencing interest: personal relevance and positive learning experiences. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of fostering student interest through other influencing factors such as effective teaching methods and the creation of a conducive learning environment to improve Arabic language skills among STPM candidates.
