The Effects of Multimedia with Different Modes of Presentation on Recitation Skills Among Students with Different Self-regulated Learning Level

摘要

One of the requirements in reading al-Quran is to read with proper recitation (tajweed). This study attempts to investigate the impact of multimedia on student’ recitation skills using three presentation modes (MSM – a separate mode with the text placed separately from the video on recitation by aqari, MIM – an integration mode in which text / words are combined in the video using subtitling concept, or MVRM - voice recognition mode whereby students can record their recitation). This quasi-experimental study involves the multimedia mode as the independent variable, the students’ recitation as the dependent variable, and their self-regulated learning (SRL) level as the moderator variable. A total of 140 secondary school students were randomly selected for this study. Three courseware have been developed, with each courseware applies a multimedia mode. During the learning process, the students worked in pair. The findings show a significant difference in recitation between the three groups, and the post hoc analysis indicates that MVRM scored significantly better compared to MIM and MSM. In addition, students with high SRL scored higher as compared to those with low SRL level in all treatment groups. MVRM allows students to record and play back their recitation recording to their learning partner to be immediately assessed and corrected. MIM also helps their recitation skills when subtitles were used in the video and the words that changed colours when read, in which the students were able to identify the phonics of the letters and sounds of the combined letters. Also, the self-paced and self-assessment learning material helps the students with high SRL level, although pairing activity assists those with low SRL level.
