The Impact of Smart Applications on Quranic Memorization: Effects on Student Motivation and Attitudes Toward Islamic Learning - An Experimental Study
Abstract
This experimental study investigates the impact of innovative applications on Quranic memorization and their
influence on student motivation and attitudes toward Islamic learning. The research employs a quasi-
experimental design with pre- and post-tests to compare traditional memorization methods with technology-
enhanced approaches, utilizing apps such as Tarteel and Ayat. A sample of 120 students aged 12-18 was
randomly assigned to experimental and control groups across Islamic schools in Jordan and Malaysia.
Data collection utilized validated instruments, including the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) and a custom-
developed Islamic Learning Attitudes Scale (ILAS), as well as objective assessments of memorization
performance. Results indicate significant improvements in intrinsic motivation (p < 0.001), memorization
accuracy (p < 0.01), and positive attitudes toward Islamic learning (p < 0.05) among students using innovative
applications.
The study contributes to understanding how educational technology can enhance traditional Islamic education
while maintaining religious authenticity and spiritual connection. Implications for educators, curriculum
developers, and technology designers are discussed, along with recommendations for future research and
implementation strategies.
