Abstract:
This study aims to optimize the evaluation of Arabic learning by using the Ispring Suite Quizmaker software that can be integrated directly into Microsoft Power Point with images, animations, audios, videos, sets of student ability test and their feedback. With the data that already obtained, the writer does literature study to relate some of the problems with existing theories to find relevant solutions for each issue found. As for the main problems in this study are: 1) Advances in information technology that requires techers to always provide interesting, visual, and interactive learning facilities. 2) Limitations of teacher’s knowledge in making Arabic interactive questions by using software. From some of the existing problems, there are several solutions to overcome them. One was by utilizing the Ispring Suit Quizmaker software where the teacher can make various types of questions easily such as multiple choice, right wrong, match, and stuffing.
This study aims to determine the implementation of the Intensive Course (IC) program in Islamic boarding schools to identify the challenges, strengths, and weaknesses faced in its execution. The method in this research uses qualitative research exploration. Three data collection techniques were used: in-depth interviews through a semi-structured list of questions developed by related literature, observation, and documentation. The results of this study describe the implementation of the IC program during the pandemic. The challenges in its implementation consist of students, teaching materials, and a relatively short time, the advantages and disadvantages of the learning program. This study only describes one Islamic boarding school in Kediri, namely the Syarif Hidayatullah Islamic Boarding School. These results are helpful as an overview of IC during a pandemic and a reference for future research. This study provides evidence-based research information, especially on its implementation at the Syarif Hidayatullah Islamic boarding school.
A book review on Narratives of Qualitative PhD Research: Identities, Languages and Cultures in Transition, edited by Laura Gurney, Yi Wang, and Roger Barnard, published in 2022. I provide a quick synopsis of the book's content and an outline of each chapter. I also go into the structure, organization, strengths, and weaknesses of the book. This review concludes with the evaluation that Narratives of Qualitative PhD Research is an excellent resource and practical guide for prospective and existing PhD candidates, PhD supervisors, academic language and learning advisors who deal with PhD applicants, academics in the field of doctoral education, and university officials in pertinent leadership posts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
