CleanAR: augmented reality in learning purification guide / Nur Farzana Zairul Azmi

A person must ensure the body, place and clothes that will be used to perform prayer are pure and clean from any impurities. Mughallazah purification steps is difficult for students to learn and understand as it consists of many steps compare to the other two impurities namely mukhaffah and mutawassitah. Besides, teaching and learning method must be change to be more sense such as hear, sound, touch and sight. Therefore, this project is to assist students learn about purification steps by using the emerging of mobile learning through Augmented Reality (AR). Mobile learning as a kind of learning model enables learners to access learning materials anywhere and at any time by using mobile devices and Internet. AR is an approach that helps users become more engaged and retain more information than the traditional approach, in this case the text book used by religious teacher during class. The objectives of this project are to identify the requirements needed for CleanAR: Augmented Reality in Learning Purification Guide, to design and to develop the CleanAR: Augmented Reality in Learning Purification Guide. The target user is Year 4 students in Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Jawa as mughallazah purification method is under their syllabus of Pendidikan Islam. Malay language is used in the application and development of this project is until testing phase. This project used ADDIE as the methodology approach throughout the development process of the application. Unity and Blender are the software used to develop the application and C# is used for the coding. This project is a marker-based AR where the 3D modelling showing each step of mughallazah purification will be displayed if the image target is directed to camera. For the findings of this project, CleanAR application is able to increase interest of the students during learning and students tend to pay more attention toward graphic and animation. Besides, the application is easy to understand because the instructions are straight-forward and icons used are familiar. Future recommendation for this project is to include mukhaffafah and mutawasittah purification steps besides mughallazah and enhance the 3D modelling. Thus, CleanAR application may assist students in learning about mughallazah purification method through virtual environment.
