Utilizing Augmented Reality (AR) to Enhance Motivation and Writing Skills in Islamic Primary Education

Abstract

This study explores the utilization of Augmented Reality (AR) as an innovative educational tool to enhance student motivation and writing skills in Islamic primary education. Traditional teaching methods often struggle to engage young learners in writing activities, which can limit their creative expression and language development. By integrating AR technology into the curriculum, this research aims to provide interactive and immersive learning experiences that stimulate interest, support comprehension, and encourage active participation. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative assessments of writing skill improvement with qualitative observations of student engagement and motivation. Preliminary findings suggest that AR-based learning not only increases students’ enthusiasm for writing but also positively impacts their creativity, narrative coherence, and understanding of Islamic themes. The results highlight the potential of AR to transform conventional classroom practices, offering a model for technology-enhanced Islamic education that balances faith-based content with modern pedagogical strategies.
