Development of The 'Clock Corner' Instructional Media in Teaching Vocabulary to Students at MIN 1 Langsa

Abstract

Achieving effective communication in Arabic by mastering vocabulary is essential. One creative effort to enhance vocabulary learning is the development of educational media such as the "Clock Corner" tool. Clock Corner is a circular learning aid that displays vocabulary words along with their meanings. This study aimed to explore how the Clock Corner was developed and to assess students’ responses to its use in vocabulary learning. The research involved fourth-grade students at MIN 1 Langsa, with a sample of 27 students from class 4B. Data were collected using the Research and Development (R&D) method, following the ADDIE model. The Clock Corner was created using Canva and plywood materials, designed to provide a visual and interactive learning experience. Observations revealed that students actively participated during the learning process. The questionnaire results showed a score of 91.9%, indicating a very positive student response. These findings suggest that the Clock Corner is an effective and engaging tool for supporting students’ vocabulary acquisition.
