“Hijaiyah” interactive learning for pre-school students

Abstract

Limited time allocation for Islamic education in primary schools is an obstacle for the students to understand the lesson. The core of Islamic education is to understand reading and to write letters Hijaiyah. The concept of traditional learning patterns and lack of time made the level of understanding of students is low. Hence, learning media are needed to attract student’s attention. Especially in children of the present era who are challenged with various types of technology, including mobile phones, televisions, and computers. The role of IT-based media can be a solution in current learning. In the learning process, especially for children, is learning that gives birth to a pleasant atmosphere. Images and sounds that appear will make children not get bored quickly so that they can stimulate learning in children. In learning that involves the media in the process of learning certainly must consider aspects of early childhood development. Augmented Reality can be utilized in various fields, including education. In learning, there are Quantum Learning theories, which explain visual, audio, and kinesthetic (VAK) methods. From here, Augmented Reality and Quantum Learning theories are interconnected. In this application, there will be Hijaiyah letters that are simulated in the form of AR with a sound and how to pronounce it. This application is to help the learning process of Hijaiyah letters, only by scanning the Hijaiyah letters from the Android camera.
