Microlearning-based Tourism Arabic Teaching Material Model for Tourism Awareness Groups in Tourism Villages

Abstract

The present imperative for members of the tourism awareness group (Pokdarwis) in the tourist village is to acquire proficiency in Arabic communication skills. This study aims to provide instructional materials for teaching Arabic language skills to members of the tourism village Pokdarwis, with a specific focus on the field of tourism. To achieve this, a micro-learning technique was employed. The study primarily addressed the constraints of the problem, which pertained to the absence of tourist Arabic teaching materials specifically designed for members of the tourism village Pokdarwis. The study also aimed to explore the process of developing these materials. The research employed the methodology of development research, commonly referred to as R&D. The development paradigm employed in this study is Thiagarajan’s 4D model, comprising four distinct stages: definition, design, development, and dissemination. The research methodology employed in this study encompassed the utilization of questionnaires and unstructured interviews as the primary instruments. The research was conducted on 30 individuals who were members of the tourism town of Pokdarwis. Based on the research results, it was evident that the individuals affiliated with the Pokdarwis tourist village required Arabic language competency to facilitate the growth and advancement of tourist villages. Hence, there is a necessity for the development of Arabic instructional resources tailored specifically for the aim of facilitating tourism in tourist villages, with an emphasis on the incorporation of micro-learning principles characterized by brevity and technology-driven approaches. The design of the teaching materials developed aligns with the learning style of prospective users, as indicated by the assessment results from learning design experts and learning media experts. Additionally, the design of the teaching materials adheres to the principles of micro-learning-based instructional materials.
