Hubungan antara Lingkungan Belajar dengan Minat Belajar Bahasa Arab Siswa Kelas IX Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Bontonompo Gowa

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between learning environment and students' interest in studying Arabic among ninth-grade students at Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Bontonompo, Gowa. Using a quantitative descriptive-correlational approach, data were collected from 36 students through a Likert-scale questionnaire. The results showed that the learning environment was categorized as "Good" (78.98%), while students' interest in learning Arabic was categorized as "Very Good" (82.63%). A Pearson Product-Moment correlation test revealed a significant positive correlation between the two variables (r = 0.458, p < 0.05). This indicates that a better learning environment contributes positively to students' interest in learning Arabic. Recommendations are provided for improving the learning environment and fostering greater student engagement with Arabic language learning.
