Development of Arabic Calligraphy Teaching Materials Based on 21st-Century Skills

Abstract

The industrial revolution and the emergence of 21st-century skills challenge educators in preparing their students to compete globally. Lecturers are responsible for integrating their teaching with 21st-century skills. This research is one of the efforts to develop teaching materials for Arabic calligraphy courses based on 21st-century skills. The research method used in this study is research and development. The research and development model used adopts the Dick and Carey model, which is summarised in the ADDIE phases, combined with the curriculum design model of Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM). The research phases consist of five stages: needs analysis, design of teaching materials, development of teaching materials, implementation of teaching materials, and evaluation of the teaching material product. In the validation process, the researcher used open- and closed-ended questionnaires, product testing through validation and reliability testing, involving subject matter experts, instructional experts, lecturers using the teaching materials, and a small group test involving 20 students from the first semester of the academic year of 2022-2023 in Semester 119. Data collection for expert assessment was done through questionnaires, while one-on-one testing was conducted through interviews. Data analysis used the Guttman scale, scoring 1 for “Yes” and 0 for “No.” Based on the assessment of subject matter experts and lecturers, the developed teaching material was considered very good and in line with the principles of developing 21st-century skills.


Keywords: development of teaching materials, Arabic calligraphy, 21st-century skills
