Development of Arabic Literature Learning Model Based on Local Wisdom of Bugis-Makassar

Pengembangan Model Pembelajaran Sastra Arab Berbasis Kearifan Lokal Bugis-Makassar

Abstract

Arabic literature instruction in Indonesian Islamic universities frequently faces challenges of student relevance and engagement due to the cultural gap between the Arabic literary heritage and the lived cultural experience of Indonesian students. This article examines the development of an Arabic literature learning model that integrates Bugis-Makassar local wisdom as a pedagogical bridge between the Arabic literary tradition and the cultural context of students in South Sulawesi. The developed model integrates five elements of Bugis-Makassar local wisdom, namely pappaseng, elong, lontara, tudang sipulung, and mappacci, with representative Arabic literary texts from pre-Islamic, classical, and modern periods. A research and development (R&D) approach is employed to design, validate, and empirically test the model. The findings indicate that the Bugis-Makassar local wisdom-based learning model significantly improves learning motivation, literary appreciation, and comprehension of ethical values in Arabic literary texts compared to the conventional approach.
