 Introduction
My name is Aurora Rachel Pravita, a student at Darussalam Gontor University Campus C. I will review a journal titled "Mobile-based Tajwid 1 Learning Media at the Gontor Entrance Guidance Institution with the Demonstration Method" by Muhammad Sirajuddin Mumtaz Dzaky and Dihin Muriyatmoko Taufiqurrahman, published in 2021. This journal addresses the difficulties prospective students face in learning Tajwid 1 due to limited printed learning materials.Â
Summary
Prospective students aiming to enter Gontor struggle with learning Tajwid 1 due to the limited availability of printed books. This study aims to facilitate Tajwid 1 learning using a smartphone-based application. The application was tested using four methods, including blackbox testing, which confirmed its smooth operation. Additionally, tests on five smartphones of different brands and screen sizes showed that the application runs well, making it an effective learning tool.
The need for this application stems from the increasing sophistication of operating systems. Tajwid, derived from "jawwada-yujawwidu," means to improve. It encompasses tools that enhance students' attention, feelings, thoughts, and skills, guiding their learning process. Since 2014, PMDG has not held preparatory classes, leading alumni to create BIMAGO (Bimbingan Masuk Gontor) to assist prospective students. Currently, BIMAGO uses limited printed books, making learning challenging.
Critical Analysis
1. Problem Identification:Limited printed learning materials hinder Tajwid 1 learning for prospective Gontor students, particularly in BIMAGO.
2. Proposed Solution:The study offers a smartphone-based Tajwid 1 learning application using the demonstration method to improve understanding.
3. Methodology: The application underwent blackbox testing and was tested on five different smartphones, confirming its functionality and effectiveness.
4. Advantages:
  - Effectiveness:The application provides a more accessible and effective learning solution compared to printed materials.
