| This research attempts to investigate the role of cooperative learning on Arabic language
performance in three selected Malaysian institution of higher learning. Dimensions such as
interaction and skill that digested from cooperative learning items were used as independent
predictors while performance in Arabic language is used as a criterion. Also, the study attempts to
examine the learners and their instructors’ perceptions towards learning the Arabic language and its
role on mastery subject matters. A total of 100 students and 30 lecturers were randomly selected
from 3 Malaysian universities; namely UPSI, IIUM, and USIM and self-reported instruments were
distributed for data collection. Multiple Linear Regression was used to investigate a hypothesized
relationships between students’ interaction and their skills on one hand and Arabic language
proficiency on the other hand. It was found as a result of Multiple Linear Regression that both factors
(interaction and skill) were substantially and statistically predict Arabic language proficiency.
However, gender, age, year of study and university were found to be statistically insignificant. |
