Covid-19 Pandemic Implications on Quran Subjects at Primary School in Malaysia: A New Solution Based on 3T Quranic Basic Module

Abstract

This study aimed to observe the effectiveness of the use of textbooks and exercise books of Quran, primarily online or through Home-based Teaching and Learning (PdPR) during the Movement Control Order (PKP) for primary school students. The study introduced an alternative study material, the 3T Quranic basic module, to teachers and recorded their initial perceptions of the module. A total of 60 teachers representing 9 school branches participated in an online questionnaire online via Google Forms. The study found that most teachers thought the existing textbooks and exercise books of the Quran do not achieve the learning objectives, and are less practical to use online. Most teachers preferred the alternative study materials, the 3T Quranic basic module, as the most suitable material to achieve the school’s learning objectives. Thus, the use of the new 3T Quranic basic module was suggested to improve student achievement through its various contents and interactive implementation such as video guides, digital modules, brief and concise information, and comprehensive training specifically designed for students. This 3T Quranic basic module is also constructive and beneficial alternative to assist and guide teachers as well as caregivers to have appropriate monitoring with small group control (mentoring system).
