Abstract

Digital Storytelling (DS) has been popular in education since the 1990s, however, the use of DS with Augmented Reality (AR) technology in teaching the Seerah (History of the Prophets) subject in school is scarce. AR is one of the most evolving technologies that is being implemented in various fields such as military, medical, advertising, entertainment, and particularly in education. The benefit of AR is well known for its interaction with virtual objects in a realworld environment. This study aims to extend the benefits of AR to the digital storytelling for teaching Seerah subject, a case of Prophet Nuh a.s, as a medium to complement the existing teaching method for teachers in telling a story about the Prophets to the school children. The aim is to explore the use of DS with AR technology in providing an immersive experience, to motivate children to focus, and to remember the story. To this end, a series of interviews with the experts and a survey with school children and parents have been carried out to gather the user requirements and expert opinions throughout the development and implementation of the application. Upon completion, another series of User Acceptance Tests were conducted with the experts and school children. The findings suggest that the use of DS through AR, packaged with a colorful storybook might be an important and effective tool that can be utilized in learning environments to support and motivate primary school children in understanding, remembering and ultimately to learn the lessons from the Seerah Subject.
