Augmented Reality Technology For Arabic Vocabulary Learning As A Model Of Quran Reflection For Hearing-impairment Adults

This study aims to analyze the need for a new model design of Quranic reflection through learning Arabic vocabulary for adult learners with hearing impairments using innovative Augmented Reality Technology. Learning the Arabic vocabulary found in the Quran and understanding its meaning will enhance the ability to read, comprehend, memorize, and apply it. However, a Quranic reflection model that incorporates AR technology to teach vocabulary to deaf adult learners has yet to be researched or developed. Therefore, a new model must be thoughtfully designed to meet their needs and align with their preferred learning styles. This study follows the needs analysis framework of Hutchinson and Waters (1987), which includes Lacks, Needs, and Wants, to gather data. The findings reveal that most respondents unfamiliar with the Arabic vocabulary in Juzu’30 related to humans, animals, plants, and other natural creations and phenomena. In addition, most of them also show a strong interest in learning Arabic vocabulary related to these categories using AR. Additionally, a majority express a strong interest in learning these vocabulary categories using AR. The proposed AR model for Quranic reflection utilizes immersive 3D experiences, compatible with multiple devices (books and mobile), and integrates visual aids such as animations, fingerspelling, and sign language videos to support a multisensory approach to learning.
