Karena dengan adanya efikasi diri siswa akan memiliki keyakinan positif terhadap diri sendiri, mandiri, serta independen ketika berhadapan dengan tugas sekolah. Siswa yang memiliki efikasi diri yang tinggi akan memiliki inisiatif yang tinggi untuk dirinya sendiri khususnya dalam memaksimalkan aktivitas dan hasil belajarnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat efektivitas layanan bimbingan kelompok dengan teknik <em>group exercise </em>untuk mengembangkan efikasi diri siswa&nbsp; SMA Negeri 1 Darul Imarah. Populasi penelitian ini berjumlah 213 siswa jumlah sampel 10 siswa. Teknik pengampilan sampel yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah <em>purposive sampling.</em> Teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan uji wilcoxon. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, disimpulkan bahwa tingkat efikasi diri siswa sebelum diberikan layanan bimbingan kelompok dengan teknik <em>group exercise</em> termasuk dalam kategori sangat rendah. Kedua,gambaran efikasi diri siswa sesudah diberikan layanan bimbingan kelompok dengan teknik <em>group exercise</em> sebanyak delapan kali pertemuan, terdapat pengembangan efikasi diri pada siswa dan berada pada kategori tinggi. Ketiga, berdasarkan hasil hipotesis, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa bimbingan kelompok dengan teknik <em>group exercise</em> efektif digunakan untuk mengembangkan efikasi diri siswa.<br><br><br><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em><br><em>Self-efficacy is one of the important factors that students must have to support their learning success. Because with self-efficacy students will have positive beliefs about themselves, be independent, and independent when dealing with school assignments.

The type of research used is quasi-experimental research using a one-group pretest-posttest type design. The population of this study was all students in class 4PA Maahad Tahfidz Kiblah (MTK) and all students in class X SMAN 4 Banda Aceh. The sample was 20 students in class 4PA MTK (total sampling) and 30 in class X-4 at SMAN 4 Banda Aceh. The class samples at SMAN 4 were randomly selected from the 6 existing X classes. The instruments used in this research are pretest and posttest instruments with student answers measured using a mathematical understanding indicator rubric. The normality test was carried out before testing the research hypothesis using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Because the normality of posttest data in the experimental class at MTK and at SMAN 4 was not met, the hypothesis was tested with non-parametric statistics using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results of testing this hypothesis obtained a significance of &lt;0.05, which shows that there is a difference between the pretest and posttest results in understanding mathematical concepts using the AIR learning model. It can be concluded that there is an influence of the AIR teaching model in increasing the understanding of mathematical concepts for Class 4PA MTK students and Class X-4 students at SMAN Banda Aceh. This influence occurs as a positive impact of a more dynamic learning atmosphere with students actively participating in every step of the AIR learning model.</em></p> Hamilatul Ummah Lukman Ibrahim Copyright (c) 2025 Visipena 2024-12-31 2024-12-31 15 2 153 167 10.46244/visipena.v15i2.2920 ANALISIS KEBUTUHAN BAHAN AJAR KETERAMPILAN MENULIS BAHASA ARAB TINGKAT PEMULA PADA MAHASISWA PROGRAM STUDI PENDIDIKAN BAHASA ARAB FAKULTAS BAHASA DAN SENI UNIVERSITAS NEGERI JAKARTA https://ejournal.bbg.ac.id/visipena/article/view/2714 <p>Bahasa adalah alat komunikasi yang paling penting dalam berinteraksi dengan siapapun di dunia ini, Bahasa tidak mungkin terpisahkan dari kehidupan manusia, karena manusialah yang menggunakan bahasa itu sendiri untuk berinteraksi.

This research aims to develop an instrument in the form of questions that can assess students' ability to use reading literacy in real contexts, such as understanding important documents, following instructions, or analyzing news for reliable information, expressing opinions, solving real-life problems, or placing their knowledge in a broader context. The type of research used in this research is Research and Development (R&amp;D) with the ADDIE development model. The results of the research show that the instrument for assessing authentic reading literacy assisted by the Quizizz application has met the criteria for high validity and reliability. Content validity is supported by expert assessment with a CVR of 1, indicating that all aspects of the instrument are essential. The validity of multiple choice questions is proven through point-biserial correlation analysis which shows the high validity of each question item. The high reliability of the instrument with a value of 6.152 Cronbach's Alpha &gt; 0.70 indicates consistency in measuring students' abilities in authentic reading. This research has positive implications for improving students' reading literacy skills and the use of learning technology. The resulting instrument can be used as a reliable measuring tool to evaluate students' reading literacy skills, especially in terms of authentic reading, as well as supporting improving the quality of literacy education. &nbsp;The conclusion of this study shows that the developed authentic reading literacy instrument not only meets the criteria of high validity and reliability, but also has the potential to improve students' reading literacy skills in educational settings. With the appropriate use of learning technology, this instrument can be an effective tool to evaluate and support teaching and learning processes in increasingly complex literacy contexts.</em></p> Vismaia S.

Moreover, this study also discussed about the relationship between Acehnese people’s way of thinking and their traditions, norms and cultures. The students were asked to fill in online questionnaires through Google Form Application. The result of the research showed that the majority of the students have lack motivation and understanding about the program. Only few students indicate great enthusiasm and insight about the output of living in another country. Moreover, More than half of the participants admitted their anxiety of studying overseas.
