| Summary: | This project involves the transfer of knowledge
between a university community and an orphanage.
The project applies the hybrid learning method which
is a combination of the traditional and computerassisted
approaches to enhance the Quranic Recital,
Fardhu Ain and Arabic language programs. This KTP
project is combining the theories of multimedia
learning by Mayer (2001) and hybrid learning by
Nicole & Retta (2006) in the activities. Mayer (2001)
states that " people learn more deeply from words and
pictures than from words alone", while Nicole & Retta
(2006) mentioned that the hybrid learning approch is
effective in carrying out 'in-depth learning'. An
orphanage was chosen as the partner for this project
because the orphans are in dire need of attention and
support. The project helps to ensure that they are not
left behind. The researchers chose to teach Quranic
recital and Fardhu Ain since the skills could help to
make them a better person. The religious and moral
values which are embedded in these two courses may
help towards producing ethical manpower in the
future. This paper presents some of activities that were
held in the first quarter of 2014. It was successfully run
with a few modifications to the strategies and timing of
the activities. Some of the children were found to be
extremely weak in their Jawi script writing skill and
Arabic language proficiency. Hence more time was
needed to assist them during the the learning activities.
This project implies the need for the government to set
up a special care center for orphans under its
supervision which integrates education and welfare in
ensuring a brighter future for this needy group. |
