Abstract

General background: Early childhood learning requires creative strategies to introduce fundamental religious knowledge, including the recognition of Hijaiyah letters as the foundation for reading the Qur’an. Specific background: Conventional methods often emphasize rote memorization, which may reduce children’s engagement and motivation. Knowledge gap: There is limited exploration of interactive and game-based media that integrate fun learning with Islamic education to foster both cognitive and affective development. Aims: This study examines the use of a Busy Book as an interactive learning medium to support children’s ability in recognizing and understanding Hijaiyah letters through playful activities. Results: The Busy Book, designed with 25 colorful pages, provides activities such as coloring, matching, and puzzles, which successfully stimulate children’s interest and improve their ability to identify Hijaiyah letters. Novelty: Unlike traditional learning tools, the Busy Book integrates educational content with interactive play, making the process enjoyable while strengthening retention. Implications: This medium can be an alternative for teachers and parents to introduce Hijaiyah letters in early childhood education, bridging creativity, play, and Islamic values in a single tool. Highlights: Busy Book integrates play and Islamic education. Improves recognition of Hijaiyah letters through creative tasks. Supports engaging and meaningful early childhood learning. Keywords: Busy Book, Hijaiyah Letters, Fun Learning, Early Childhood, Islamic Education

Abstract

General background: Early mathematics learning plays a crucial role in shaping children’s cognitive development, yet conventional methods often fail to sustain young learners’ interest. Specific background: Children aged 4 to 7 years commonly struggle with maintaining focus when introduced to abstract mathematical concepts such as addition and subtraction. Knowledge gap: Existing teaching materials often lack interactive features that simultaneously support conceptual understanding and engagement in early mathematics learning. Aims: This study introduces the Fun Learning Mathematics Smart Book, designed to facilitate enjoyable and effective mathematics learning for early grade students. Results: The smart book, consisting of 30 colorful and interactive pages, integrates number recognition, counting concrete objects, coloring, matching, and solving story-based problems while embedding elements of play and learning. It was found to keep children motivated, reduce boredom, and stimulate both hemispheres of the brain during mathematics activities. Novelty: Unlike conventional textbooks, this smart book combines cognitive training with fine motor skill development through playful activities tailored to early learners. Implications: The findings suggest that this learning medium can serve as an innovative approach for educators and parents to support foundational mathematics learning in a way that is both engaging and developmentally appropriate.Highlights: Smart Book supports fun mathematics learning for young children. Activities include counting, coloring, matching, and story problems. Helps train both cognitive skills and fine motor development. Keywords: Smart Book, Mathematics, Addition, Subtraction, Early Childhood

Abstract

General background: The integration of science education with spiritual values is increasingly recognized as essential in providing holistic learning experiences for students. Specific background: In Islamic education, embedding Al-Qur’an values within Natural Science learning can foster both cognitive understanding and spiritual growth. Knowledge gap: However, few learning resources explicitly combine Natural Science materials with Quranic references in a creative and engaging format for elementary-level learners. Aims: This study introduces an Interactive Natural Science Textbook designed to merge scientific concepts with relevant Quranic verses. Results: The textbook consists of 20 creatively structured pages covering plant parts and photosynthesis, accompanied by verses from the Al-Qur’an, and is shown to attract students’ reading interest while deepening their scientific and religious knowledge. Novelty: Unlike conventional science textbooks, this resource integrates multimedia elements and Quranic context, offering a balanced approach between academic learning and faith development. Implications: This textbook contributes to strengthening elementary Islamic education by p Highlights: Combines Natural Science with Quranic verses. Designed for elementary Islamic education. Promotes holistic learning: academic and spiritual. Keywords: Interactive Textbook, Natural Science, Quranic Values, Islamic Education, Elementary Learning

Abstract

Background: Mathematics is often perceived as difficult by elementary students, particularly in topics involving multiple formulas such as plane and solid shapes. Specific Background: Limited variations in teaching methods and the absence of appealing learning media often hinder students’ understanding. Gap: Existing resources rarely integrate concise formulas, visual properties, contextual examples, and digital interactivity in a single portable medium. Aim: This study aims to develop a mathematics pocketbook that supports students in learning fundamental concepts of plane and solid shapes. Results: The product consists of 14 compact pages containing formulas, properties, example problems, and an online game accessed through a barcode. The pocketbook is designed using simple language to improve comprehension and engagement. Novelty: The integration of formula summaries, shape properties, and digital game-based reinforcement within a portable printed format provides a unique learning resource. Implications: This pocketbook has the potential to assist teachers in delivering materials more effectively and to help students strengthen conceptual understanding during independent study. Highlights• Comprehensive formulas and properties in a compact format• Integrated online game through barcode scanning• Designed to support independent learning Keywords: Pocketbook, Mathematics, Plane Shapes, Solid Shapes, Elementary Students
