LughawiyyAt: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Arab Introduction Literacy in Arabic language learning, especially in the aspect of maharah qiraah . eading abilit. , is an important challenge in the era of independent curriculum 1. Competency-based learning requires an innovative approach to improve students' reading skills 2. In an independent curriculum, students are required to be more active, creative, and independent. However, a global literacy survey revealed that low levels of reading comprehension, including in foreign languages, are a significant obstacle to achieving educational goals. The UNESCO report . noted that around 40% of students in developing countries have difficulty understanding foreign language texts. In Indonesia, the results of the 2018 PISA (Program for International Student Assessmen. study showed that the literacy skills of Indonesian students, including in foreign languages, were still below the global average 3. Along with the increasing need for Arabic literacy in Islamic education, the development of appropriate learning methods, such as ProjectBased Learning (PBL), is an indispensable step to improve students' maharah qiraah abilities 4. Previous studies have revealed the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in improving cognitive skills, but its application in maharah qiraah in the context of an independent curriculum is still limited 5. Many studies have explored PBL in various fields, such as English and STEM, but its application in Arabic language learning, especially maharah qiraah, is still minimal. For example, research by Larmer et al. states that PBL can increase student engagement in the learning process. Another study conducted by Ahmed & Hasan . found that Ahmad Syagif.

LughawiyyAt: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Arab the implementation of PBL in Arab countries tends to prioritize reading-based learning rather than focusing on reading comprehension. According to another study conducted by Ahmed & Hasan . , the implementation of PBL in Arab countries focuses more on reading-based learning than reading-based learning without focusing on reading comprehension. This literature gap indicates the need for more in-depth research on the implementation of PBL in improving maharah qiraah, especially within the framework of an independent curriculum 6.

The literature reveals a growing emphasis on integrating Maharah Qiraah into Arabic language curricula, particularly for non-native speakers. For instance, highlights the role of scaffolding strategies, while Ahmed et al. investigate digital tools for enhancing reading comprehension. However, challenges persist, including the lack of standardized teaching frameworks and insufficient training for instructors. Studies often overlook the cultural nuances of Arabic, limiting learners' ability to engage deeply with texts. These gaps suggest the need for comprehensive approaches that incorporate linguistic, cognitive, and cultural The review highlights the conceptual richness and practical challenges of Project-Based Learning, the Independent Learning Curriculum, and Maharah Qiraah. While each area shows promising trends, critical gaps remain in terms of consistency, accessibility, and cultural sensitivity. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies, equitable resource distribution, and culturally responsive methodologies to enhance educational practices across these domains. This study offers a new approach by systematically integrating PBL to improve maharah qiraah in the context of an independent curriculum 13. This study is different from previous studies because it not only examines the effectiveness of PBL, but also how this model can be adapted to the context of independent education that emphasizes students' creativity and independence. Saeed & Ali's . study showed that the application of PBL in language learning can be adapted to meet the needs of modern students . However, their study focused more on oral learning than reading. In this case, this study fills the gap by developing an approach that focuses on reading skills and text comprehension.

LughawiyyAt: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Arab Results and Discussions Implementation of PBL Improves Critical and Analytical Reading Skills One of the significant positive impacts of implementing the Project Based Learning (PBL) model is the improvement of students' critical and analytical reading skills, especially at Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Negeri 5 Banyuwangi. Project-based learning encourages students to read more complex texts, such as books, articles, or journals, which require in-depth understanding. In this context. PBL not only helps students improve their reading skills, but also hones their ability to evaluate, assess, and criticize the content of the texts they read 19. With a more active and contextual approach, students are invited to be directly involved in the learning process, not just as recipients of information. This leads to the development of more critical and analytical reading skills 20. To dig deeper into the impact of PBL on studentsAo critical reading skills, we conducted an interview with one of the teachers at Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Negeri 5 Banyuwangi. Mr. Ahmad, who teaches Arabic and literacy. Here is an excerpt from his interview: "Since implementing PBL. I see students becoming more active in analyzing the texts they read. Not only understanding the content of the reading, but they are starting to be critical of the perspectives presented in the text. For example, when we worked on a project on the interpretation of classical books, they did not only look for the meaning of each word, but also tried to assess the relevance and context of the text in today's life. This shows significant development in their critical and analytical reading skills. This interview shows that the implementation of PBL effectively develops students' critical and analytical reading skills, which in turn enriches their understanding of more complex texts. With PBL, students not only learn MUHAMMAD ALPAREZI. Maria Botifar, and Iskandar Zelvi. AuPengaruh Model Project Based Lerning (Pjb.

Use of Technology in Projects to Increase Reading Interest and Ability The use of technology in project-based learning (PBL) has been proven effective in improving students' reading interest and ability 22. At Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Negeri 5 Banyuwangi, the application of technology in the project provides wider access for students to explore various text sources through digital learning applications and online platforms. With technology, students can not only read limited textbooks, but can also access articles, journals, videos, and various other sources of information that enrich their qiraah skills 23. Projects that use technology also increase students' interest in reading, because they can use digital devices to search for information more interactively and interestingly 24. The use of technology in learning also allows students to present their reading results in more creative ways, such as through multimedia presentations or creating blogs and videos, which develop their digital literacy skills 25. In an interview with Ibu Siti, an Arabic language teacher at Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Negeri 5 Banyuwangi, she shared about the influence of technology on students' reading skills. Here is an excerpt from her interview: "We started integrating technology into project-based learning, such as using learning applications and online platforms to search for reading materials. Students are more enthusiastic when they can directly access articles, videos, or other reading materials on the internet. I see that they are more easily interested Yusron AbdaAou Ansya.

In addition, with technology, they can present their findings in a more creative form, such as making interesting infographics or presentations, which certainly also enriches their understanding. From this interview, it is clear that the use of technology in the project not only increases students' interest in reading, but also makes it easier for them to access wider sources of information. Technology also gives students the opportunity to present their reading results in a more creative way, which further enriches their qiraah skills. Project-Based Learning Accelerates Mastery of Independent Learning Curriculum Material Project-based learning (PBL) has proven effective in accelerating the mastery of qiraah material in accordance with the principles of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum 26. By using the PBL method, students at Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Negeri 5 Banyuwangi are given the opportunity to learn independently and actively through projects that involve reading more complex texts. This approach allows students to combine theory with practice, so that they can understand the material more deeply and more thoroughly 27. The implementation of PBL is in accordance with the objectives of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum, which emphasizes student-centered learning and holistic competency development 28. In this context, students do not only memorize or understand the material superficially, but are also involved in the process of applying their knowledge through more interactive projects 29. Therefore. PBL helps accelerate material mastery and encourages students to be more active in their learning process 30. dig deeper into the impact of PBL on material mastery, we conducted an interview M I S Junanah.

Here is an excerpt from his interview: "With the implementation of PBL. I see students mastering the qiraah material In the project, they are given the freedom to read and study more texts, then apply the knowledge in their assignments. Not only learning theory, but they can also see how the theory is used in real life, which makes them understand and master the material more thoroughly. Even in the exam. I can see a significant increase in their mastery of the material. From the interview, it can be seen that the implementation of PBL at Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Negeri 5 Banyuwangi helps accelerate students' mastery of qiraah By combining theoretical and practical learning through projects, students not only understand the material better, but are also able to apply it in everyday life. This approach is also in line with the principles of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum which focuses on more holistic and student-centered learning.

LughawiyyAt: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Arab A Recommendations for the development of more effective curriculum and learning strategies. Discussion Implementation of PBL Improves Critical and Analytical Reading Skills Based on the results of the interview with Mr. Sonhaji, it shows that the implementation of the Project Based Learning (PBL) model at Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Negeri 5 Banyuwangi has succeeded in improving students' critical and analytical reading skills. In the context of learning Arabic and literacy. PBL encourages students not only to understand the text, but also to evaluate, analyze, and criticize the points of view contained in the text 31. For example, when students work on a project to interpret classical books, they not only look for the meaning of words, but also assess the relevance and context of the text in today's This approach leads to the development of critical thinking skills which are very important in literacy learning. The theory underlying these findings can be seen through the concept of higherorder thinking in Bloom's taxonomy which emphasizes the importance of the ability to analyze, evaluate, and create information, rather than simply remember or understand it 32. PBL provides an opportunity for students to participate in these higher-order thinking processes, which in turn enhances their understanding of more complex and contextual texts 33. Learning that encourages students to analyze and evaluate information will lead to the development of stronger critical thinking skills 34. By implementing PBL, students are invited to be actively Sugiharto Didik. Dian Septi Nur Afifah, and Rahyu Setiani.

This strengthens the active role of students in a deeper and more applicable learning process. Use of Technology in Projects to Increase Reading Interest and Ability The results of the interview with Mrs. Siti revealed that the use of technology in project-based learning (PBL) has a significant positive impact on students' reading interests and skills at Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Negeri 5 Banyuwangi. Wider access to various text sources through digital learning applications and online platforms makes students more interested in reading, because they do not only rely on limited textbooks, but can explore articles, videos, and journals that enrich their reading material. The use of technology not only increases student engagement, but also allows them to present their learning outcomes in more creative ways, such as creating infographics or multimedia presentations 35. The theory relevant to this finding is the Constructivism theory proposed by Piaget and Vygotsky, which states that effective learning occurs when students actively construct their knowledge through interactions with resources and the Technology in PBL provides students with broader access to construct their knowledge, which is also in line with the Multiliteracies theory of Cope and Kalantzis 37. This theory emphasizes that literacy is not only limited to reading written texts, but also includes the ability to understand and use various types of digital media. By using technology, students can develop their digital literacy while enriching their qiraah skills through a wider variety of information Asman Jaya et al.

The theory that is relevant to this finding is the Constructivism theory of Piaget and Vygotsky, which emphasizes the importance of active learning where students construct their own understanding through direct experience and social interaction PBL supports this by giving students space for exploration, reflection, and application of knowledge, so that they do not just memorize but also connect the material to real life . In addition, this finding is also in line with 42Kolb's Experiential Learning principles , which emphasize the importance of direct experience in the learning process . PBL accelerates mastery of the material because students learn through real experiences that give them a stronger and Waffa Ruhul Bakah.

With this approach, students become more active and more involved in their learning process. Conclusion From the discussion that has been done, it can be concluded that the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PBL) at Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Negeri 5 Banyuwangi has a significant positive impact on the development of critical and analytical reading skills, as well as mastery of qiraah material in accordance with the principles of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum. PBL encourages students to not only understand the material theoretically, but also to apply their knowledge in practical projects that require them to read more complex texts, analyze, and evaluate information critically. This is in accordance with the theory of higher-order thinking in Bloom's Taxonomy which emphasizes the importance of analytical and evaluation skills in learning. In addition, the use of technology in PBL has been shown to increase students' interest in reading and enrich their literacy skills. Access to various sources of information through online platforms and digital learning applications makes students more interested in reading and more involved in the learning process. This approach supports the Constructivism theory which emphasizes active learning and interaction with various sources of knowledge, as well as the Multiliteracies theory which introduces the concept of literacy not only in written texts but also in digital media. Overall. PBL not only accelerates mastery of the material but also encourages students to become more independent and active learners, which is in line with the main objective of the Independent Learning Curriculum, namely building student competencies holistically through student-centered learning.
