The Impact of Smart Applications on Quranic Memorization: Effects on Student Motivation and Attitudes Toward Islamic Learning - An Experimental Study

Dr. Awad Abdulraheem Awad Al-Dwairi Email
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.
