Development of Qur’an Memorization Learning Model Based on Mobile Learning

Abstract

Memorizing the Qur’an is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, may peace be upon him. The most crucial part of remembering the Quran is the process of learning. In general, this activity is conducted privately memorizing, one teacher for one student. One obstacle of memorizing the Quran is the limited number of teachers and many students. This private model undoubtedly ineffective. The teacher is difficult to handle the activities. Also, the teacher cannot control the student to memorize more verses because teachers must hear one by one to the student’s reading voice. Information technology has the potential benefit to innovate the learning models of memorizing the Quran. In this study, we develop a learning model using mobile technology. We design mobile learning that students can memorize independently; however teachers can still listen to reviews their reading sample, evaluate, and give guidance. The student module comes with a paragraph of verse view, including the translations. The student module also features a reading reference from international Qori. Besides that, the student module comes with a voice recording facility so students can compare with the reference reader. Teachers can assess every student until students good in reading and more verses to memorize. The primary findings of this study indicate that the teacher can handle more with better student performance. Students are highly motivated to memorize and self-evaluate their reading because they always feel under supervising by the teacher.
