Abstract

Purpose – The aim of this research is to determine the need for developing a digital comic aligned with the Islamic Education textbook. This study is a needs analysis based on discrepancy model that also employs the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) used to determine Islamic education teachers’ acceptance towards the use of comic in the Islamic Education subject. Design/methods/approach – This is a quantitative  research. To obtain the data, some questionnaires were administered to 315 Islamic Education teachers  of public primary schools in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Findings – Descriptive analysis revealed strong pedagogical beliefs about the educational value of comics, positive attitudes, and high levels of acceptance regarding educational comics. Correlation analysis showed that teachers’ pedagogical beliefs about the educational value of comics, attitudes, and acceptance were all positively related, with attitudes most strongly associated with both perceived usefulness and ease of use. Regression results further demonstrated that attitudes were the strongest predictor of perceived usefulness, while pedagogical belief about comics’ educational role and current usage contributed more to perceived ease of use. Despite these positive perceptions, many teachers reported limited prior experience in using comics, signaling a gap between readiness and practice. Research implications/limitations – Teachers’ strong interest highlights the need for curriculum-aligned digital comics that should be supported by practical training, such as hands-on workshops that build confidence and ease of use. Additionally, policymakers and school leaders can accelerate adoption by embedding digital comics into teaching guidelines, resource repositories, and ICT initiatives. Originality/value – The research provides a base towards creating a comic-form learning source for Islamic Education subject.

Abstract

Learning Arabic grammar is often considered one of the biggest obstacles for non-Arabic-speaking students. This study aims to identify the main challenges in learning Arabic grammar from the perspective of university students in Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as to compare the perceptions of students in both countries. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach involving 75 respondents (60% from Indonesia and 40% from Malaysia), the majority of whom are first-year students. Data were collected through a questionnaire covering four dimensions of challenges: linguistic-structural, pedagogical-methodological, psychological-motivational, and technical-resource. The findings show that 73.3% of students face significant difficulties, especially in the complexity of textbook material (Mean 3.75) and structural differences between Arabic and their native languages. Statistical tests show no significant difference between the perceptions of Indonesian students (Mean 3.22) and Malaysian students (Mean 3.25), indicating the homogeneity of challenges in the region. However, students showed high openness to the integration of digital technology (Mean 3.81). This study concludes that curriculum reform focused on digital-interactive and applied approaches is urgently needed to bridge the gap between grammar theory and real-world communication practices.
