تأثير التكنولوجيا الرقمية على تعلم اللغة العربية في مرحلة رياض الأطفال
The study aims to analyze the impact of digital technology on the level of interest and participation of kindergarten children in learning Arabic, and evaluate its impact on Arabic language skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing, and the study also aims to improve teaching strategies to achieve the maximum benefit from the use of digital technology in teaching Arabic to kindergarten children. The main objectives of the study address hypotheses related to the positive impact of the use of digital technology on children's interest and participation in learning Arabic, and its impact on the development of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. The study also assumes a correlation between teachers' use of digital technology in teaching and improving students' level in Arabic. The study also assumes that there are challenges facing female teachers in integrating digital technology in teaching Arabic to kindergarten children. The study followed multiple methodological procedures, ranging from identifying the study population and the study sample, to statistical processing of data using the statistical analysis software SPSS v28. The procedures will also include estimating the coefficients of truthfulness and reliability, and applying the T-test for two independent samples. Descriptive statistics will also be calculated to analyze demographic composition and present the results concisely and clearly. Guidelines and recommendations were presented to improve the use of digital technology in teaching Arabic to kindergarten children, with a focus on sustainable thinking on how to adapt and develop digital learning technology to meet future needs for learning Arabic at this stage. Early childhood is a vital period in the journey of human formation, during which the initial foundation for learning life skills and concepts is laid. Modern technologies in the field of information and communication technology have witnessed radical transformations in the field of education for children at this vital stage, and this has contributed significantly to stimulating children's interest and enhancing their participation in the process of learning Arabic. The results have shown that digital technology plays a vital role in enhancing these language skills at this vital stage for children. The use of technology in early childhood has a profound impact on children's interaction with the learning process. Children can benefit from interactive apps and games that offer educational content tailored to their language needs. This effective interaction between the child and technology promotes the use of modern methods to acquire vocabulary and develop linguistic concepts innovatively. Through these techniques, children enjoy fun and engaging learning experiences, encouraging them to acquire language skills naturally and effectively. Providing educational games that simulate curiosity, and exploration contributes to stimulating children's mental abilities and developing their language skills early. However, the challenge arises when thinking about how to achieve a healthy balance between the use of technology and social interaction. Educators and educators need to be very careful in monitoring when children use screens and ensure that these technological experiences are part of an integrated learning experience. The research problem in this context emerges as challenges related to better understanding the optimal balance between benefits and challenges in the integration of technology in teaching Arabic to early childhood children. By thinking about how to effectively leverage this technology, it is possible to continuously improve the quality of children's learning experience and develop their language skills in exciting and effective ways.
