Design of a Technology-Based Pedagogical Module on Surah al-Fatihah and the Three Quls for Deaf Students in the Vocational Stream

Abstract

Qur'anic education is an essential form of learning for every Muslim around the world. However, its implementation for deaf students remains significantly underdeveloped, particularly among those in vocational education streams. Therefore, this study aims to design a technology-based instructional module focusing on Surah al-Fatihah and the Three Quls (al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq, and al-Nas) tailored for deaf students in vocational programs, utilizing the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). The objectives of this study are to obtain expert consensus on the module’s goals, content, technological components, activities, and assessment methods. Ten expert panellists were interviewed to develop relevant items based on FDM. The resulting instrument comprised six sections with a total of 52 questionnaire items. These questionnaires were subsequently distributed to 19 experts from various fields to gather consensus. The findings revealed that all items achieved a consensus threshold with a ‘d’ value ≤ 0.2, and over 75% agreement among the panellists. This study provides significant implications for religious education for deaf students in vocational streams. Moreover, the developed module serves as a practical guide for teachers and students in the teaching and learning of the Qur’an for learners with hearing impairments.
