The aim of this study is to identify the effectiveness of ICT-based teaching aid in improving the Jawi reading and writing skills of Orang Asli students at the Kuala Kangsar district primary school. The combination of the TPACK Model and the Diffusion of Innovation theory was involved as an intervention process. ICT-based teaching aids, which is Microsoft PowerPoint, Rainbow Jawi and Black Board, have been used in the study. 32 Orang Asli students from Year Four and Five were selected for purposive sampling. In this research, pre-and post-test tools were used to classify the level of reading and writing skills of Jawi students, and to further explore the gaps between Jawi's reading and writing skills before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inference analysis. The results show that there has been an improvement in achievement in the study group for both post-Jawi literacy and performance measures. The paired t-test study showed that Jawi's mean post-reading skills were significantly higher (p<.05) than Jawi's mean pre-reading skills. Besides, relative to the mean Jawi pre-writing ability test score, the mean score for the Jawi post-writing skills test was significantly higher and statistically relevant (p <.05). The effectiveness of ICT in improving the performance of Orang Asli students can be demonstrated through this research. In order to strengthen the teaching and facilitation of teachers in Malaysia, ongoing research on ICT-based teaching aid needs to be carried out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
