Employing digital platforms in Teaching Arabic at the intermediate stage (an analytical model of a field education experience)

Abstract

The current research aims to present a field experience and a model of modern digital education, focusing on the effectiveness of digital educational platforms. The chosen platform is "MOALIM," an electronic educational platform that enables interactive learning. Through this, we seek to highlight the importance of this teaching method and its alignment with the contemporary educational landscape. The research is based on a descriptive and experimental methodology, with a focus on a sample of 15 students from the first year of middle school at Ibn Amer Yaqoub Middle School in Qasr Chellala, Tiarat Province, Algeria. The study was conducted one month into the second semester, following the use of the "MOALIM" platform in the Arabic language subject.

The research addresses the following questions: What is the current status of using digital technology in teaching Arabic language among middle school learners in Algeria, and how can the platform help learners develop language skills? What are the key outcomes of this digital learning through the "MOALIM" platform? What are the main challenges of using digital educational platforms, especially considering that "MOALIM" is an independent initiative and not a state-endorsed platform? The research yielded several results, with one of the most significant being that the platform created an environment that promotes enthusiasm for learning and increases motivation, facilitating the achievement of goals. Additionally, it aligns with the official curriculum, provides a preparatory lesson environment, and offers opportunities for review through suitable exercises and practices.
