Keywords:
Virtual Reality, immersive VR, Artificial Intelligence, Worship Competency AssessmentAbstract
This study aims to analyze the potential of immersive Vrtual Reality (VR) technology in creating a realistic simulation environment for Islamic workship practice in Madrasah. This study also explores the relevant artificial intellegency (AI) methodology in providing personalized assessments of the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of the implementation of workship in a VR environment. In addition, this study identifies te pedagogical benefits and efficiencies resulting from the integration of VR and AI in the assessment of workship competencies as weel as discusses the technical, ethical, and sociocultural challenges tat may arise in the implementation of this system. the methodology used is a Systematic Literatur review (SLR) and a narative-conceptual review, with data sources from academic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and Google scholar. Data analysis is carried out through a thematic analysis approach to identify patterns, trends, and gaps in te literature, as well s narrative syntesis to integrate findings from various sources and build a comprehensive theorical framework.
