Abstract

This action research was conducted to improve the academic achievement of pupils in the Jawi remedial programme, which is a component of the Islamic Education subject. The intervention involved the application of the “Tasbih Huruf” method. A total of 20 Level 1 pupils from one of the rural primary schools, Subis, Sarawak, Malaysia was selected as the target group for this study. A preliminary survey using the Jawi Diagnostic Test served as the basis for the initial findings. The pupils who failed appeared confused when given the test. In order to better analyze the particular learning challenges these pupils were experiencing, the teacher regrouped them into smaller learning groups. The primary problem found was the pupils' incapacity to commit the Jawi single letters to memory, which in turn impacted their capacity to write and construct Jawi script. The Tasbih Huruf method was introduced by the teacher to assist pupils in learning and mastering these letters, and this was the main focus of the intervention. The goal of this tactic was to significantly improve their Jawi writing abilities. Additionally, the project involved working with teachers who served as facilitators, which enhanced the validity and credibility of the research process. Within the allotted time, the pupils' post-test performance significantly improved following the implementation of the intervention. Pupils' motivation and engagement were successfully raised by the Tasbih Huruf method, which also improved their recognition and memorization of the Jawi single letters.
