Abstract

This study examined the effect of Word Square media on Arabic vocabulary mastery among fourth-grade students at SDIT Wahdah Islamiyah Makassar. The study was motivated by students' difficulties in remembering and recognizing Arabic vocabulary and by their limited participation in conventional classroom activities. A quantitative pre-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The participants were 18 students of Class IV-A1 selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and a ten-item vocabulary test administered before and after the treatment. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, a paired-samples t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The mean pretest score was 37.22 and increased to 81.11 in the posttest, representing a mean gain of 43.89 points. Both datasets were normally distributed (pretest p = 0.073; posttest p = 0.193). The paired-samples t-test showed a statistically significant difference, t(17) = -26.684, p < 0.001. The mean N-Gain was 0.7270, categorized as high. These findings indicate that, within the group studied, the use of Word Square media was associated with a substantial improvement in Arabic vocabulary mastery.
