Penerapan Strategi Flashcard dalam Pembelajaran Unsur Bahasa Arab (Mufradat dan Qawaid) bagi Santri Mukim di Pesantren Darul Aitam Garut

Abstract

This research is motivated by problems at Pesantren Darul Aitam Kersamanah Garut, where some students face difficulties in memorizing vocabulary (mufradat) and understanding Arabic grammar rules (qawaid). Furthermore, the learning process is still limited to lecture methods and the use of a whiteboard, which has not maximized students’ active participation. This study aims to describe the implementation of the flashcard strategy in teaching Arabic language components and to identify its effects on students’ enthusiasm and mastery of the material. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving teachers and resident students. The results show that the flashcard strategy is implemented in a structured manner, starting from introducing vocabulary, practicing grammar rules, to developing interactive learning activities similar to games. The use of this strategy fosters enthusiasm, activeness, and creativity among students. Teachers act as adaptive facilitators who create a pleasant learning atmosphere. In conclusion, the application of the flashcard strategy effectively supports active learning processes, improves students’ ability to memorize mufradat, and helps them understand the material in a more engaging way.
