Strategi Self-Regulated Learning Dalam Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berbicara Bahasa Arab Mahasiswa Berprestasi Di Perguruan Tinggi

Abstract

This study aims to explore the self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies employed by high-achieving students in enhancing their Arabic speaking skills (maharah al-kalam) at the State Islamic University of Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. This research adopts a case study approach. The participants consisted of eleven students who, within the past five years, have achieved national and international recognition in maharah al-kalam competitions. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman continuously until data saturation was reached. The validity of the data was ensured through triangulation of techniques and time. The findings reveal three main aspects: First, high-achieving students implement SRL through planning and learning organization, such as preparing regular speaking practice schedules, managing their learning environment, and participating in formal training. Second, they perform independent learning by engaging in direct speaking practice, utilizing digital media, strengthening vocabulary and grammatical structures, and maintaining motivation. Third, they conduct self-reflection and motivation reinforcement through self-evaluation using recordings, receiving peer feedback, and reflecting on competition results. The implementation of these three SRL components significantly contributes to the enhancement of Arabic speaking skills among high-achieving students.
