Implementasi Teknologi Multisensor dalam Pembelajaran Al-Qur’an bagi Penyandang Disabilitas

Abstract

Inclusive Islamic education requires access to Qur'an learning tailored to the specific needs of visually impaired learners. A lack of adaptive learning media and limited teacher competence in utilizing assistive technology pose significant obstacles to achieving accessible, high-quality instruction. This community service initiative aimed to enhance teachers' knowledge and skills in implementing multisensory technology in Qur'an instruction for visually impaired learners. The program was held at Rumah Cahaya in Ngawi Regency and involved six teachers. The methodology employed participatory training and mentoring, comprising needs assessment, material delivery, demonstrations, hands-on practice, teaching simulations, and evaluation. The evaluation used pre- and post-training knowledge assessments and observations of teachers' skills in operating and integrating multisensory technology into learning activities. The results showed improved understanding of multisensory technology principles and greater proficiency in using tactile- and audio-based media. The teachers also exhibited improved ability to integrate multisensory technology with Qur'an learning materials and activities. This initiative highlights that strengthening teacher competence through assistive technology training is a crucial strategy for improving learning accessibility for the visually impaired.
