Teaching-learning of the Arabic language has emerged as vital in both Muslim and non-Muslim countries. However, a lack of studies exists on measuring the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) of Arabic language teachers. Thus, this study explores Indonesian Arabic teachers' TPACK and provides a conceptualization that the elements of TPACK are not separate; rather, each element facilitates the sustenance of other elements. To achieve this objective, a quantitative research approach is undertaken using a validated and reliable questionnaire. Data is collected from 320 teachers (snowball sampling) using Google forms. The data analysis reflects the inter-relation of the elements of TPACK, with a satisfactory TPACK of the Indonesian Arabic teachers. Additional findings suggest that teachers use technology minimally in designing tasks or even assessments despite their strong technological background. Further studies are recommended to explore teachers' roles, teacher development programs, and religious motivation in achieving higher TPACK of Arabic language teaching.
The wisdom of the Sundanese-people of Sumedang towards Arabic culture, language, and arabs is still at the stage of conventional understanding. Understanding has not led to the reality that it should be. This is because the knowledge of the Sundanese-people of Sumedang is relatively and varied in obtaining the transformation of knowledge in the fields of social, political, cultural, linguistic and religious. The transformation of knowledge through education has not been evenly distributed. Education and teaching on geographical, social, and political sciences as well as culture have not been programmed. In the Sundanese-people of Sumedang there has not been a significant change in understanding the fields of Arabic culture, language, and nation. This study aims to describe the understanding of the Sundanese-people of Sumedang towards the Arabic culture, language, and nation, that grow and develop with the times. The method used is descriptive analysis. Data obtained from the literature and interviews. The results show that the understanding of the Sundanese-people of Sumedang towards the Arabic culture, language, and nation is still limited to information provided by non-formal education. Therefore, it is necessary to involve formal education from the Sumedang local government and the private sector.
Purpose: This study aims to describe the forms of Arabic language interference on terminologies in the domains of science, technology, and art. Methodology: The study was conducted morphophonologically using descriptive-analytical research methods. The descriptive-analytic research method was used to facilitate the achievement of goals specified in this study. The data findings were reviewed using the distributional method. Main Findings: The study found that language interference is an aspect of vocabulary development and enrichment, which requires harmonization of speech sounds. The results showed that in the Arabic language, interference produced partial absorption and full absorption. Phonologically, partial absorption occurred through the absorption of sound elements at the beginning or end of a word. Applications: Understanding the issue of language transfer in the development of Arabic vocabulary is useful for non- native Arabic speakers. The findings can also help Arabic teachers revise their teachings methods accordingly. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributed to a better understanding of the forms of phonological interference of foreign languages into the Arabic language. These forms can be represented as partial absorption, total absorption, and sound change. While in morphological forms, interference causes different developments of word patterns from classical Arabic.
Purpose: This article examined Serat Tasawuf, a manuscript written using Pegon script in the Sundanese language. This manuscript, a collection of the National Library of Indonesia, is important to study because it contains three accurate recipes for those who seek happiness in this world and the Hereafter. Methodology: By using descriptive-analytical methods, the contents of the manuscript were then engaged with psychology, especially with the theory of personality developed by Gordon Willard Allport. Main Findings: The results showed that the contents of the Serat Tasawuf manuscript indicate a need for the formation of a mature personality that must begin in the first phases after birth. It also requires each individual to have an understanding of the basic tasks and functions as worshippers as well as social beings. Each individual must be directed to “learn to be themselves” and “learn to live together”. Implications/Applications: The content of the Serat Tasawuf Manuscript provides an understanding of the basic tasks and functions as worshippers as well as social beings. Thus, each individual must be directed to “learn to be themselves” and “learn to live together”. Novelty/Originality of Current Study: Since the beginning of its presence, the Islamic texts have formed a cultural identity of the ethnic diversity of the people who produce them. There are many other religious texts in the archipelago that are connected to Islamic thinkers in the Arab world. This study has explored the Serat Tasawuf manuscript, an ancient manuscript that was born in the Sunda region, West Java. This study highlights guidelines for those who are in search of happiness in this world and the Hereafter.
Purpose: The article presents both numeric implementation in Japan and the Arabic gematrical calculation (hisababajadun) in Indonesia. It is common for the people in Japan and Indonesia to believe in the power of numerals and to assume whether or not certain digits induce bad luck. Methodology: The research applies a qualitative descriptive method through a contrastive approach. Main Findings: Data analysis is based on both Koizumi's approach (1995) to the meaning of numbers in the Japanese language and Al Bani's view on hisababajadun. Our study shows that the numeric calculation in Japan uses luckiness as its ground while the hisababajadun builds its mechanism on birth date calculation according to Quranic Neuro-Hypnosis. Implications/ Applications: The research may enrich existing theoretical references on the belief toward numbers in both Japan and Indonesia. While in practice, it may as well be a reference for the application of numeric calculation methods in both cultures. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is unique and novel as it enhances the understanding of the importance of numerals in two distinct cultures i.e., Japan and Indonesia. Moreover, this study sheds light on some crucial aspects of numeral calculation including how these numerals are used, what beliefs are attached to them and how and where these numerals are used for solving life problems.
