Real-time feedback for Jawi characters tracing activity

Abstract

Tracing is one of the preliminary activities for children in the process of learning to write Jawi characters. Jawi characters tracing activities using digital technology with a real-time feedback is one of the new technologies in teaching and learning Jawi writing in which children perform tracing activities on a tablet using a stylus pen as an input of Jawi characters tracing. The tracing engine is being developed to provide a real-time feedback on the accuracy of tracing activities performed by users. The accuracy of tracing activities feedback is evaluated using a comparative analysis by looking at the agreed score between the tracing engine real-time feedback and feedback furnished by the experts. Krippendorff Alfa Coefficient of Reliability Index (Krippendorff α) agreement score is used to measure the agreement between tracing engine real-time and experts feedbacks. The outcome of Krippendorff α agreement score found that the accuracy of the feedback trace activity generated by tracing engine is almost the same as the feedback provided by experts.
