Interaction Pattern among the Components of the Learning Ecology of Arabic Reading (Mahārah al-Qirā'ah)
Keywords:
learning ecology, Arabic reading, reciprocal interaction pattern, Islamic boarding school, Arabic language learningAbstract
This study aims to analyze the interaction pattern among components within the Arabic reading learning ecology at Ummul Quro Assuyuty Islamic Boarding School. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed to explore the dynamics among pedagogical, institutional, social, cultural, and learning resource components. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using a descriptive-interpretive method. The findings reveal that the Arabic reading learning ecology is not a static structure, but is formed through a Reciprocal Interaction Pattern among interrelated components that continuously influence one another. This pattern indicates that each component does not operate in isolation, but rather interacts and reinforces others to form an integrated learning system. The study highlights that Arabic reading instruction should be understood as a dynamic and interconnected educational ecosystem.
