“…18 This initial stage is an important stage for gathering information and the needs analysis. The important information falls into the interests and intelligence of students, 19 the needs of stakeholders (community, graduate users), the needs of the job market, 20 and the skills of the workforce they need, 21 and in accordance with the demands of the ever-changing era of globalization. 22 For this reason, it is necessary to collect data, information on target achievement of Arabic language skills and current learning trends before developing the master's curriculum in Arabic Education so that the resulting curriculum contains profile formulations and graduate competencies that are suitable for the world of work.…”

This article described the curriculum development of the Arabic Education (AE) Master’s program in accordance with the university's vision through research and development of the Borg and Gall’s model with a qualitative approach, data collection through documentation, literature review, and questionnaires for expert validation. The performance of education personnel’s who are less adaptive to the advancement of science and technology is one of the problems faced by the world of education. The cause of this problem is that the education curriculum for education personnel’s is not relevant to the users’ changing needs. Hence, the higher education curriculum needs to be developed according to the demands of social change and the progress of today's science to realize a relevant curriculum. Data analysis was done through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The results of the study resulted in a curriculum model which refers to the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (IQF) based on prismatic science integration. This curriculum model is expected to produce master's graduates who are able to act as Arabic language teachers at the undergraduate level who are professional, innovative, and creative in developing Arabic language education through research and scientific publications and have Ulul Albab, Ulil Abshor, and Ulin Nuha characters that radiate in thought and activity.

Recently, in response to unstable global environmental factors, there has been a widespread shift towards online education. Drawing on Bandura’s social learning theory, this study examines the mediating role of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between students’ learning styles and their perceptions of electronic assessment. The research design utilized in this study involved a cross-sectional survey conducted via a web-based questionnaire administered to 342 undergraduate students enrolled in online courses at a private university in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The instruments employed included the student perceptions of electronic assessment scale, the academic self-efficacy scale and the student learning style scale, which assessed students’ perceptions of e-assessment, their confidence in learning and completing e-assessment tasks, and their preferred learning styles, respectively. The findings revealed that students held neutral perceptions of electronic assessment and exhibited a moderate level of academic self-efficacy. The contributory learning style emerged as the most favored, while the avoidant style was the least preferred. Importantly, the results demonstrated statistically significant direct and indirect effects of learning styles on students’ perceptions of electronic assessment, mediated by academic self-efficacy. This study has theoretical and practical implications, provides recommendations and highlights opportunities for future research in the field of online learning and electronic assessment.
