ANALYSIS OF ARABIC LEARNING STYLES OF CHOLERIC AND PHLEGMATIC CHARACTER STUDENTS IN THE 6TH SEMESTER OF THE ARABIC EDUCATION PROGRAM AT UIN MATARAM : ANALISIS GAYA BELAJAR BAHASA ARAB KARAKTER KOLERIS DAN PLEGMATIS MAHASISWA SEMESTER 6 PBA UIN MATARAM

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Arabic language learning styles of students with choleric and phlegmatic personality types in the Arabic Language Education Program (PBA) at UIN Mataram. The research employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative data from a Google Form questionnaire and qualitative data from observations and interviews. The findings indicate that choleric students tend to have an active, competitive, and practice-oriented learning style, favoring activities such as discussions, presentations, and exercises, and showing a preference for speaking skills (maharah kalam). In contrast, phlegmatic students tend to prefer a calm, structured, and reflective learning style, with a tendency toward listening (maharah istima’) and reading (maharah qira’ah) skills. These findings suggest that personality significantly influences students’ learning styles, although environmental factors and learning experiences also play a role. This research is expected to serve as a reference in developing adaptive Arabic language teaching strategies that align with students’ individual characteristics.
