Educational integration of prayer in islam using an augmented reality approach

Abstract

Recently, the majority of researchers are interested to utilize advanced technology to find several new creative methods so that students are able to understand the lessons easily. Furthermore, AR “Augmented Reality”, a well-known innovative technology, is the most important transformation in education world. AR is, in addition, a new method uniting several aspects, such as social and tangible computing. Besides, this method has been widely used some education levels since it unites the differing world between virtual and physical world. Nevertheless, the execution in early childhood education has not been maximum yet and, especially for moral values that are taught since childhood for instance praying or Muslim often call as Do’a. Furthermore, in Islam Do’a is a very crucial thing although some people assume that it is trivial. This is probably caused by many variations of Do’a, so that Do’a is little tough to be practiced. Accordingly, with growing technology learning through e-learning like AR can solve this problem. This study aimed to delve deeper into AR that has been designed in “Marker-based” namely “Do’a 4D” and installed in mobile. Lastly, this research explains that the Augmented Reality’s approach is particularly suitable to increase and to ease the understanding of children about Do’a.
