AN EVALUATION OF AN INTERACTIVE e-TAJWEED SYSTEM FOR THE SURAH OF YAASIN

Tajweed is a set of rules to be followed by a person who wish to read, recite and interpret the verses of the Holy Al-Quran. In this study, an interactive e-tajweed Yaasin system was developed to accommodate teaching and learning of tajweed for the surah of Yaasin. The system is a compilation of notes, audio, video, graphics with colour cues and pointers and interactive buttons. The multimedia components were developed to emphasize on common mistakes based on nine different tajweed (rules) done by the previous students. It was found that there was an improvement of recitation of students after the implementation of this interactive system. However, some improvements had occurred for certain rules (6 out of 9) but not in others. This study was to discuss the factors that lead to better or lack of understanding of tajweed. The study has found that there is a need to establish joint and continuity of both traditional and modern systems to produce a more effective and efficient system of teaching and learning the surah of Yaasin.
