The Implementation of The Rotating Trio Exchange Type Cooperative Learning Model in Learning Nahwu

Abstract

Learning Nahwu as a foundation for understanding Arabic often faces challenges in student active involvement and comprehensive conceptual understanding. The Rotating Trio Exchange (RTE) cooperative learning model offers an innovative approach that emphasizes collaboration and group rotation to improve student interaction and understanding. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Rotating Trio Exchange cooperative learning model in learning Nahwu, identifying its impact on conceptual understanding, learning activities, and student learning outcomes. This study used a qualitative-descriptive approach with a classroom action research design. The subjects were 30 students of second-semester of STAI KH. Muhammad Ali Shodiq. The data were collected through observation, conceptual understanding tests, interviews, and learning documentation. The result showed that tha implementation of the RTE model showed significant improvements in three main aspects: student learning activities increased by 78% with active participation in group discussions, conceptual understanding of Nahwu increased by 82% based on the results of evaluation tests, and students' collaboration and communication skills developed progressively through group rotation. The Rotating Trio Exchange type of cooperative learning model is effectively applied in learning Nahwu by providing a dynamic collaborative space, increasing understanding of Arabic grammatical concepts, and developing students' social skills.
