Teaching Etiquette Using Kid in Islamic Education

Abstract

KiD (Keychain iDoa) is an innovative teaching aid designed to facilitate Quranic and Fardhu Ain (KAFA) students in memorizing daily prayers according to the etiquette and understanding of Islamic way of life (PCHI) syllabus. One of the advantages of using KiD is that students will find it easier to memorize daily prayers. Among the prayers included in KiD are prayers before and after meals, prayers before and after sleep, prayers for parents, prayers before studying, prayers upon entering and leaving the mosque, prayers before boarding a vehicle, and prayers before leaving the house. This study focuses on one method to help KAFA school students memorize daily prayers and their correct recitations in an engaging format. The use of cute and attractive cartoon keychains, equipped with barcodes, and the use of a prayer application have been implemented to create KiD. Parents need to scan the barcode using a mobile phone to enable the recitation of prayers to be heard. Subsequently, students can follow along with the prayers until they become proficient. A qualitative study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the product. Testing involved fifth-grade students from the Integrated Masjid Gunung Sali KAFA school who used KiD and compared to fourth-grade students from the same school who underwent regular learning. The results showed that fifth-grade students were able to master these 10 prayers in less than a week. In conclusion, this KiD innovation can provide an initiative for KAFA students to master the etiquette and PCHI subjects.
