The Development of Web-Based Maharah Kalam Teaching Materials

(Research at Dairobby Vocational High School)

Abstract

The vision of Da’i Rabbi Vocational Islamic Senior High School integrates the Qur’an, Pancasila
values, and technology through a holistic curriculum grounded in constructivism and multiple
intelligences, intending to shape a well-balanced student character. The primary issue addressed in
this study is the limited Arabic language proficiency among students at Da’i Rabbi Vocational Islamic
Senior High School. This issue stems from low student motivation, the lack of suitable instructional
materials tailored to the technological orientation of vocational school students, and the need for an
interactive, practical, and contextual digital learning tool aligned with the developments of the digital
age. The objective of this research is to explore the educational profile of Da’i Rabbi Vocational
School, to design a web-based Arabic speaking skill module, and to assess its validity, practicality,
and effectiveness. This study adopts the ADDIE instructional design model, which comprises five
systematic phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Data were
collected from key sources including students, a subject matter expert, and a media expert, using
various data collection tools such as observation, interviews, and evaluative questionnaires. The
findings revealed that the instructional approach at Da’i Rabbi Vocational School is learner-centered,
project-based, specialization-oriented, and grounded in ethical values, with increasing student interest
in technology-enhanced learning. Nevertheless, the need to strengthen Arabic speaking proficiency
was evident. In response, a web-based instructional material was developed following the five ADDIE
phases. The development process was successfully conducted. The results concluded that the
developed material demonstrated high validity (“very valid”), strong practicality (“practical”), and
significant effectiveness (“very high effect size”) in improving students’ Arabic speaking skills.
