For this purpose, two conventional classes of fourth year license degree in the Department of Travel Management were the respondents. The students’ schooling experiences were clarified with a student
satisfaction questionnaire, their values highlighted with an interview, and their social interactions explained with observations of the two classes. The results of this study show that, even though they were not used to working collaboratively in small team-work groups, Taiwanese students were highly likely to develop a collaborative learning style that utilizes emails and internet connections matching their learning
needs and motivations and optimizing their academic success.

ICT promote autonomy among ESL/EFL learners: myth or reality?engedukamall
Thang, S. M. (2014, September). ICT promote autonomy among ESL/EFL learners: myth or reality?. Paper presented at the meeting of KAMALL Annual Conference 2014, Seoul, Korea.
[Abstract]
There is this general belief that the introduction of Information
Communication Technologies (ICT) into classrooms will foster autonomy
among English as a Second language (ESL) and English as a Foreign language
(EFL) learners and this has led to its rapid proliferation in English language
classrooms in most Asian countries. However, to what extent this claim is true
needs to be carefully investigated and the factors leading to its successful
adoption which culminates in autonomy among ESL/ EFL learners and factors
that resulted in failure in adoption need to be identified and deliberated.
There must be an awareness that that the implementation of technology is
not a “panacea for all ills” and its presence will not magically lead to a boost
in student learning or achievement. Despite the plethora of research
undertaken on effects of ICT on ESL/EFL learners there is still a lot that needs
to be learned as most studies undertaken tend to explore the short-term
effects of ICT on language learning and fail to consider the long term effects.
Autonomy cannot be achieved in a short period of time. Hence there is a need
to look into the long term effects which many research studies fail to do.
According to Holec, (1981) autonomous learning has to do with a person’s
ability to take full responsibility of his or her own learning. That includes the
ability to decide what, when, how and for how long learning should take
place. This involves defining goals and objectives, selecting appropriate
materials, techniques and approaches, and finally evaluating outcomes. How
can ICT help students acquire such skills and what are the teachers’ roles in
the process? This paper will attempt to provide a balance view on the effects
of ICT on language learning and the promotion of autonomy through a review
of relevant literature and research studies. Finally, it will answer the question
posed in the title and in the process offers suggestions on how autonomy can
be successful promoted and fostered in an online environment through the use
of technology. Possible methods that can possibly contribute to the successful
promotion of autonomy in online environment include providing: (1) stimulating and interesting online materials; (2) online programs to develop self-regulated
learning strategies; (3) scaffolding in the form of instruction on resources to use
and guidelines on appropriate path to choose; (4) regular assessment tasks for
students to measure their own progress on an ongoing basis. In addition,
online platforms that offer opportunities for sharing of information and
undertaking of group activities or projects are also good avenues to develop
autonomy. Studies that implement such approaches well as others will be
reviewed and discussed.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

TanjungMalim, Perak, Malaysia
ABSTRACT
The use of digital devices helped pupils memorize, enhance understanding and fully participate in learning.
One of the findings is that, during 55% of the time of the researchers observation, the computers were not
used at all. The purpose of this study is to assessing teachers' emphasis, exploring the positive effect of
using digital devices on PLD and the use of support software of digital devicesinTnL.This study used a
qualitative approach of case studies that involve interviews, observations and analysis of documents of
pupils work. The findings showed that teachers always perform audio activities using digital device tools
such as computers. These activitieswere particularly relevant with the PLD learning style. The popular
support resources used include digital software, mobile phones and youtube.Teachers are encouraged to
use digital devices and software due to several effects on PLD such as focusing with fun in learning.
KEYWORDS
Digital Devices, Learning Style &Pupils with Learning Disabilities
1. INTRODUCTION
Every pupil in our country has the same opportunity to receive education regardless of age,
gender or race. The National Education Philosophy’s aspiration for pupils to be advanced in terms
of intellectual, spiritual, physical, emotional and social needs should be realized. Education for all
should start as early as possible for children. The effort to produce balanced human beings also
begins when children enter the preschool to ensure that every Malaysian can have quality life
when they grow up as adults. To realize this expectation, all parties including the government and
the private sector should make every effort to provide the best facilities. This desired education
also involves pupils with learning disabilities (PLD). Generally the basis of the implementation of
Special Education either in Malaysia or international level, emphasizes on physical, emotional,
spiritual, and intellectual development so that pupils can get the highest level of education to
enable them to get jobs and live independently [1]. Such development requires the competency
and efficacy of teachers. The competency and efficacy that teachers possess help students with
learning disabilities (LD) acquire the needed learning skills [29].
PLD also have the opportunity to succeed when their potential is polished by teachers through the
transformationof education. Teachers should be prepared with the necessary knowledge and skills
needed to implement the transformation. The government, private sector and individuals need to
provide solid support through various means such as hosting a conference that benefits all parties.
The Ministry of Education has been working on adding classes and teachers to accommodate the
needs of education to Malaysians starting from preschool. Other educational needs also cannot be
excluded, especially information and communication technology (ICT) based learning resources.
ICT resources are used by teachers during teaching and learning (TnL) either in the classrooms or
in computer labs. In the classrooms, teachers use laptops or display videos on screen through the
LCDs whereas pupils are not allowed to bring digital devices to school. Most recently, pupils
2. The International Journal of Multimedia & Its Applications (IJMA) Vol.9, No.4/5/6, December 2017
76
were only allowed to use computers and tablets at school [31]. Other digital devices such as
mobile phones are not allowed at all to be used in schools.
1.1 BACKGROUND RESEARCH
The study involving learning styles in Malaysia was carried out in Perak on pre-school interactive
multimedia software. The interactive multimedia software helps the teacher to create more
interactive teaching materials and develop activities that stimulate curiosity [19]. Learning style
studies by Dunn and Dunn which identified the learning environment, the learning style and
understanding of concepts by pupils in primary schools [11]. The method of the study were
experiment in school classrooms in America that did not provide the same classroom environment
as in the Malaysia. Dunn and Dunn had developed a learning style table that is appropriate for the
local context and can be used by teachers to reflect the differences between pupils. However, this
study did not look at the suitability of the environment, but focused on the use of digital devices
during teaching and learning (TnL).
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
There is no specific model suitable for PLD that allows trained teachers and teachers in primary
schools to receive critical exposure with learning style-based approaches. The Teaching and
Learning Modules of Iqra and Practical Methods were issued by the Ministry of Education in
2005. These modules do not address the methods, approaches and learning styles that must be
applied in the TnL process to PLD. The situation is further complicated when no teachers were
trained specifically in Islamic Education for PLD. This weakness made it difficult for teachers in
the delivery of knowledge and skills to pupils, and became more complicated when applied with
various stimulus of learning styles including environment, emotion, sociology, physiology and
psychology [11]. The models and guidance required are models that are closely related to pupils'
condition [11]. Therefore, this study included the physiological aspect that is the use of
appropriate teaching aids in accordance with the pupils’ learning styles.
The previous study found that teachers were less familiar with the TnL operations through pupils’
learning styles [34]. They simply teach and attract PLD to learn without knowing the true
concepts of learning styles. The study shows that the pupils’ performance is better when teaching
and learning takes into account the appropriate learning styles as compared to pupils who were
taught without taking into consideration their learning styles [18]. The Malaysian Education
Blueprint 2013-2025 and Malaysian Teacher Standards or Standard Guru Malaysia [23]
document emphasize learning styles to achieve effective learning. The study [16] found that the
use of rhythm, songs and digital story telling helped pupils memorize, enhance understanding and
fully participate in learning with fun. Their studies pointed out the effectiveness of songs even
though the tools used for such activities involved digital devices. One of the findings is that,
during 55% of the time of the researchers’ observation, computers were not used at all [6]. Hence,
more specific and comprehensive studies need to be carried out not only by focusing on the use of
songs in PLD styles of learning but the use of digital devices to enable further actions to be taken
in producing the appropriate software or software innovations as TnL materials.
1.3 RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
The study was conducted to:
i) Assess teachers' emphasis and the positive effects of using digital devices on PLD.
ii) Explore the use of supporting software for digital devices in TnL.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
In general, the researcher posed the following questions:
3. The International Journal of Multimedia & Its Applications (IJMA) Vol.9, No.4/5/6, December 2017
77
i) How far has the use of digital devices been emphasized by teachers and what are their
positive effects on PLD?
ii) What are the other supporting resources for digital devices used in TnL?
1.5 IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY
The main purpose of this study is to contribute significantly to PLD, especially through learning
practices based on physiological element of learning styles. In addition, this study also benefits
teachers when the learning practices are based on appropriate learning stimulus through the
learning guide produced. The main emphasis of this study is how to produce the right resources
through the use of digital devices. This contribution is obtained through the appropriate ideas
shared among ICT experts.
2. LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
This study is based on the Dunn and Dunn Learning Styles Model which is related to the way
pupils obtain information. This study focuses on the physiological element in the learning styles
that is the use of digital devices which is one of the PLD learning styles. This research focuses
only on pupils in the Special Education classes of a primary school.
The pupils selected as participants were pupils who were enrolled in the Special Education
Integration Program in the category of minimal intellectual disabilities or known as High Level
Capability Learning pupils (HLPLD). The six pupils selected as participants had similar
characteristics in their functionality. The participants’ age ranged from 10 to 12 years old.
Teachers and parents also participated in this study.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW
Parents, teachers and others are encouraged to share information, monitor development and build
profiles to explain the difficulties faced by children and determine positive ways to help them.
One of the earliest signs of PLD is that children cannot crawl at all before they start to walk.
Normally children are capable of crawling before walking. PLD may have speech problems and
their language is not understood by others. Their speech must be supported by their body
language before being understood by parents. PLD are found to have been left behind in reading
which can be two or three years backwards as compared to their peers. In other words, they are
categorized as pupils who have unequal capacities when compared with other pupils. There are no
specific learning styles to tailor to their learning except a teaching strategy that takes into account
the needs of each PLD. Teachers need to convince pupils about their strengths and abilities in
many ways that can help them overcome difficulties such as getting responses through drawing or
flow chart rather than through conversations or writing [34]. A study was found that PLD were
very interested in gadgets and they could intuitively use the gadgets [34]. They not only used
gadgets for entertainment, but also for accessing learning information at home. However, the use
of gadgets is not very popular in schools due to factors such as cost and school regulations [31].
The review [33] shows that there are three main characteristics of learning styles that exist in PLD
which are related to computer usage. In the emotional stimulus of the element of perseverance, all
pupils can learn for 10 minutes through the song track using a laptop without feeling bored. While
in the sociology stimulus they love to learn side by side with teachers and adults especially when
viewing songs on the screen of the computer. For physiological stimuli, in the element of
perception they learn well through touching the materials brought by the teacher and also their
experience in singing according to the song aired on the laptop. Knowing pupils’ learning styles
is useful for determining learning situations, tools and teaching approaches. A suggested [5] that
teachers should present information in various forms and provide different learning
experiences such as using videos, audio-visual, audio tapes, songs, debates and group work.

Teachers should provide different learning experiences as proved by the study results which
supported the hypothesis that people have cognitive differences in learning [27].
4. METHODOLOGY
This study used a qualitative approach of case study that involved interviews, observations and
analysis of documents of pupils’ work. Interviews, observations and data were collected using
either interview protocols, observation forms, audit trail notes, video recorders, or pupils’ work.
Triangulation was conducted by the researcher to obtain accurate and saturated information.
Triangulation was made as one of the case study methods, namely observation, interview and
analysis of documents of pupils’ work. The PLD learning analysis was carried out using Nvivo
software that determined the findings of this study.
4.1 SAMPLING OF THESTUDY
The participants of this study consisted of six Special Education pupils in two selected schools in
Perak, four teachers and six parents. The selection of the research participants was based on
purposive sampling that met the specific criteria determined by the researcher. The specific
criteria were based on research issues to be studied in depth to ensure the right choice of
participants [46] & [8].
4.2 RESEARCH PROCEDURE
In short, the methodology suitable for this study was the qualitative approach of case study. In the
early stage of this study, the participants of the study were chosen based on the criteria
determined. At the same time, the interview protocols, and observation forms were prepared as
well as audit trail notes, video recorders before the researcher was ready to conduct the fieldwork.
Those interview protocols and observation forms were validated first by experts.
During the interviews and observations conducted, the pupils’ work were also studied to compare
with the data of the interviews and observations. The data were analyzed after each fieldwork.
The process was carried out continuously until the data were saturated. At the end, the researcher
made the conclusion to all data collected based on saturated themes. All those data were analyzed
using Nvivo software that determined the findings of this study.
4.3 DATA COLLECTION TOOL
The main method in this study was interview. The interviews conducted with participants for this
study required an appropriate protocols. The protocols of this study contained the authorized and
verified components [40]. The data were obtained using data collection tools such as interview
protocols and observation forms. The interviews and observations were analyzed qualitatively.
Qualitative analysis using Nvivo software were carried out to get the themes to answer the
research questions.
4.4 VALIDITY OF THE STUDY
For the purpose of fulfilling the validity of constructs, evidences were obtained from various
sources of interviews, direct observations and video recordings. All the data collection methods
were analyzed to ensure that there was a string of strong evidences. In order to obtain the internal
validity of this research, the findings were verified by field experts which included Special
Education, ICT and Psychology. Meanwhile for the external validity, the researcher had to
compare the findings with the existing theories, making the analysis of the similarities and
the differences between the findings of this study and the second party to enable the study
findings to be assessed to what extent it can work and function in a second-party situation [48].

5. FINDINGS
The findings focused on teachers’ emphasis and the impacts of the use of digital devices to PLD
learning and supporting resources used during TnL with digital devices.
5.1 Teachers’ Emphasis and Impacts of the Use of Digital Devices to PLDLearning
In In the physiological stimulus, audio is one of PLD's learning styles. Based on observations and
interviews, teachers of Islamic Education always conducted audio activities using digital devices
such as computers. Audio activities involved nasyid and stories. These activities were particularly
relevant with the PLD learning styles as reported below. However, these activities involved the
visual process as pupils were more focused on seeing movements on nasyid and acting in the
stories.
Based on the observations, it was found that the teachers had asked pupils to listen to a recitation
using laptop as follows;
(HLPLD: SF / AUDIO / COMPUTER): "Azam read after listening to the recitation
on the teacher's laptop."
Additionally, teachers always showed stories on the computer screen that used the audio and
visual teaching technique. Azam listened and watched the story through a teacher's laptop. When
asked about what he heard and watched, he replied;
(HLPLD: SF / AUDIO / KOMPUTER / STORY): "That day, teacher showed the
story of the Prophet Joseph."
The teacher used the audio tool together with visual equipment to facilitate the delivery of the
lesson. The audio tool used such as laptops could attract PLD to receive the information and skills
delivered. Through the perceptions element in this study, videos shown using a laptop screen
could prevent PLD from becoming sleepy. The processing of information by PLD was more
effective as the PLD could imitate what they watched. However, after a break at eleven o'clock in
the morning, the PLD were less active and often unable to concentrate. The ideal way to keep
them focused was to display videos related to the topics taught otherwise the pupils would be
bored if the teachers were to use the explanation teaching method. This is an appropriate way of
addressing boredom as Hazim stated;
(HLPLD: SF / PERCEPTION / VISUAL / SCRIPT): "..just bored .. upload video."
PLD had difficulty to remember the story based on the text read as compared to watching the
story using a laptop. They found it difficult to receive information through reading only. The
story was easily understood through the video shown as they were able to relate what they
watched in the following transcript;
(HLPLD: SF / PERCEPTION / VISUAL / SCRIPT): "She likes to hear stories. I
agree ..because through the story, it is very easy to remember, for example, when
I shared the story of the prophet with Zulaikha, I showed the video of the story, she could
remember better.” the story, ..when I read the text, it was hard for her to remember."
Video clips were shown to enable PLD perform other activities such as tasmik (teacher listening
to the pupils’ reading) carefully and cautiously. They would be eager to read and were careful not
to make mistakes to ensure that their teacher would show them videos after that. They also had
the same habits at home, watching television and entertaining games on laptops. Other than the
visual features, the learning style of audio features could also improve the quality of PLD

80
learning. They loved listening to nasyid (religious songs) that were shown through video clips
like ‘Aa’ ‘Ba’ ‘Ta’. They would sing the song as follows;
(HLPLD: SF / PERCEPTION / AUDIO / SONGS): "Teacher showed a video clip
song of ‘Aa’ ‘Ba’ ‘Ta’. Hazim joined in singing the song loudly."
In short, PLD did not have the tendency to read texts solely. They were more inclined to listen
and watch before they could process and store new and challenging information in their minds.
Videos shown on the computer screen not only included the visual element, but also included
audio whereby they could sing together. Finally, they could easily remember the text
after watching and listening to videos in a lesson. PLD also loved songs. Learning through nasyid
was their learning style because they loved to store information in their minds through that way.
Hazim and his friends stated that they loved nasyid. Nasyid was also watched and heard through
computer video clips. They were engaged in singing along with the video clips. They only
watched the first time a video clip was played and could sing when the video clip was played for
the second time. Azam during an observation was found to be as follows;
(HLPLD: SF / PERCEPTION / AUDIO / SONG): "Teacher played a nasyid song. Azam
watched the song seriously and sat still. Then the teacher repeated the song, and Azam
could sing the song."
5.2 Supporting Resources Used During TnLWith Digital Devices
The source materials or learning resources are everything that support the learning process.
Teaching and learning aids that can be used to assist teachers in the teaching process are also
categorized as source materials. Source materials can either be in the form of equipment,
hardware or media software material, data, facts, ideas, people and so on. Popular supporting
resources used include digital software, mobile phones and YouTube.
5.2.1 Digital Software
CD and VCD software that contains the lyrics of the appropriate song are important source of
learning for these pupils. They could remember the lyrics of the songs well and as a result could
understand the information delivered by their teacher. The nasyid song software was the primary
source used by teachers in the use of ICT in the classroom. The message of the lyrics of the songs
were then further enhanced by the teacher through class discussions. PLD were seen to have fun
and enjoyed this kind of learning. Therefore, lyrics of songs were very meaningful in their TnL
because the use of rhythm and songs could assist them to store information easily in their minds
like the following statements;
(HLPLD / SL / SONG / MUSIC): "When the teacher showed the video of the ‘Alif’
‘ba’ ‘ta' song through a computer, Azam loved the song.He could remember the
song and sang along to the beat."
Teachers also utilized lots of Arabic genre software as resources in the classroom. The
software contains songs about learning in many core subjects as shown in the following
statement made by a pupil;
(HLPLD / SL / SONG / MUSIC): "..CD songs of 'alif’ ‘ba’ ‘ta’..song of ablution
and prayer .."
In addition, other music software used by teachers as a learning resource could attract pupils'
attention. The use of music was a physiological stimulus combining audio elements and multi-
sensory elements. Teachers who conducted TnL to PLD by playing audio songs were able to
7. The International Journal of Multimedia & Its Applications (IJMA) Vol.9, No.4/5/6, December 2017
81
accommodate the pupils' learning style as pupils were happy to receive the information as they
enjoyed the rhythm of the songs based on Mrs. Lina’s account;
(HLPLD: SL / MUSIC): "I played a song because of he loved the song… singing the song
enabled him to remember the information easily .."
Mahfudz was able to answer questions posed by teachers verbally regarding the content of the
music videos shown in class during the discussion session. PLD were more focused on learning
when video clips were used. It was easier for PLD to remember the information contained in the
song as Mrs. Lina said;
(HLPLD: SL / NASYID / MUSIC): "That's exactly what he likes because if he's
singing it’s easy for him to remember .. when singing, he followed the rhythm of the song
that I had shown in the video clips because that's what he liked .. a lot of solat songs and
ablution because there are a lot of software available. It's a lot of fun too.”
5.2.2 YouTube
Some Some pupils used their personal computers at home to find learning materials through
YouTube. Mahfuz, who liked to sing the song about the Names of the Prophet, listened to the
song on his own outside the school as he said;
(PLD: SF / PERCEPTION / AUDIO / MUSIC): "..looked in the book .. in YouTube
I would find the song on my own...".
5.2.3 Cell phone
Hazim searched for learning materials using smart phones at home. Hazim was very skilled at
using smart phones and was able to explore on his own to look for information with the gadget as
confirmed by his mother;
(PLD: SF / PERSEPSI / TEL): "…he is very good at using mobile phones at home
even though he's a slow learner. Information sought for self-study was obtained
easily. "
In conclusion, various resources have been used by teachers in helping to increase information
obtained and engage pupils in the classroom activities. The experience of using lyrics of songs,
singing or nasyid enabled pupils to have fun as well as facilitate the process of memorizing the
content delivered. Another popular source material used by teachers and which was found to
successfully enhance PLD skills was computer software. Meanwhile YouTube and cell phones
were also used by pupils to access materials at home.
6. RESEARCH DISCUSSION
The physiology stimulants contain four elements namely perception, intake, time of energy levels
and mobility. This study found some other stimulus besides the four physiology stimulus which
include multi-senses stimulus, song stimulus, Qiraah stimulus and Tikrar stimulus. The perceptual
element involves the characteristics of individuals who like to study with objects, hands on
experiences or on abstract matters. The intake element involves the characteristics of individuals
who like or otherwise dislike eating and drinking while studying. Time of energy levels element
involves the characteristics of individuals who like to study at a certain time or otherwise at any
time. The mobility element involves the characteristics of individuals who like or do not like to
move while studying. In this study, PLD were found to have a perceptual element that involves
the characteristics of individuals who love learning with objects or hands on experiences. PLD
liked to study by listening to songs as shown when teachers played the nasyid videos. This
8. The International Journal of Multimedia & Its Applications (IJMA) Vol.9, No.4/5/6, December 2017
82
method involves a multi-senses stimulus learning style. They could answer verbal questions by
teachers about the content of the nasyid videos in class discussions. The quantitative results
obtained indicated that most Malaysian students are auditory learners [14]. Individuals with high
auditory perceptions could learn effectively if exposed to specific audio devices such as radio,
cassette and video. This category of pupils would remember the information they hear, be able to
focus on a longer duration and could describe the sounds they hear [11]. In addition, the skills of
orality that is oral delivery of teachers to pupils and the traditional way of delivery of knowledge
to pupils should be suitable for specific subjects such as Islamic Education [17].
Individuals with visual perceptions are more likely to respond and understand information and
skills with learning aid materials such as videos, slides, charts, televisions, graphs, diagrams and
illustrations. Dunn and Dunn [11] explain visual perceptions involving focus on paragraph
reading and page readings. According to a study [28], in explaining the learning style theory,
teachers must know that pupils learn in a unique way, usually in auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic
modes. To improve pupils’ performance, firstly all educators need to identify the pupils’ learning
styles and then match the way they teach for each style. Therefore, this study has found that the
acceptance of pupils will be more robust and effective through a combination of audio and visual
perceptions. In addition to the elements mentioned previously, there are also pupils who like to
learn by listening to nasyid songs through nasyid videos shown. PLD would sing together the
audio they heard and could express the nasyid video content in class discussions. A study [36]
stated that singing elements could help pupils by enhancing their understanding of a concept.
While another study [16] found that students engaged in the digital story telling were very high
motivation and fully involved in learning. This involves auditory perception as individuals with
high auditory perceptions can learn effectively if exposed to specialized audio devices such as
radio, cassette and video. This pupil will remember the information being heard, able to pay
attention and can describe the sounds heard [11].
Besides qiraah, tikrar is also a stimulus of the new learning style element. The results of this study
and some other studies showed that pupils could receive and master the skills delivered well
through this learning style. This learning style is also hardly discussed and studied. Pupils will
quickly get bored if the style of repetition learning is not done through various techniques. A
good example of this technique is when a teacher starts the sample reading and repeats the
reading more than three times and does not let the pupils read it first for three times. The use of
other aids will increase pupils’ interest such as audio and other audio-visual tools. This learning
style of repetition is widely used to ensure pupils' mastery in the area of worship, recitation of the
Quran and jawi (a special form of writing). The study [2] found that repetition helped pupils to
write jawi letters using the various method. This method started with the description by the
teacher in introducing the letters to be taught. Then letters were sorted by categories before
repetition on the whiteboard was done using the kit boxes. Other findings showed that the multi-
senses explication activities are another language learning mode, especially on the mastery of
suitable words based on the LD children's mind. The interview sessions and the observations
showed the improvised language learning game managed to attract the attention of the students
and triggered the feelings of pleasure of the LD children in learning Malay language which they
felt was difficult to master previously [42].
As stated above, pupils will quickly get bored if the style of repetition learning is not done
through various techniques.But, since PLD has a high fortitude, mastery learning can be
implemented to them. The 30 minute period is suitable for various activities for this PLD. The
high fortitude shown by PLD in particular enable the teacher to take opportunity to enhance
students' knowledge and skills of the Quran and Solat. Based on the study [30], mastery learning
should be carried out with the help of teaching videos and better if the video is in the form of
games inserted with information and learning concepts to be achieved.

7. CONCLUSION
The findings of this study have resulted in several effects on the use of digital devices among
PLD such as assisting them to be more focus and comprehend in the lesson. Besides that, they felt
fun through various techniques of teachers’ instructions. Learning became more effective and
attractive when teacher using multi-sensory devices. The suitable video shows were chosen by
teacher in TnL to PLD played an important role in their receiving new information and skills
taught. They would be very easy to follow something they watched and heard simultaneously like
they could sing the song that they experienced watching video shows with their friends.Therefore,
teachers are encouraged to choose the appropriate supporting materials in the implementation of
TnL using digital devices and softwareas the study findings. Teachers interest in play-based
teaching using technology to attract pupils and activate them in kinaesthetic way. A study
[12]found thatconcept of play and technology among childhood wouldboost pupils understanding
towards the lesson. However, according to the study there are problems with technology and
digital media with play-based learning. Methods of using digital devices wisely in the classroom
need to be discussed more deeply by taking into account the views of educational leaders to
ensure the learning environment can be harmoniously implemented. To ensure it works, there are
some evaluations in various aspects before fully implementing in the school. As an Islamic state
the syariah boundaries should be taken into account in Malaysia regarding this issue.
Audio activities using digital device tools such as listening lesson using computersis one of PLD's
learning styles. The audio activities involve singing and acting on stories of the song lyrics
following by discussion of the stories of the singing afterwards. The discussion should engage
with open-ended questions based on lyric texts of the song [9].The main source material is
either something in the form such as hardware or media software material. The most popular
support resources used include digital software, mobile phones, and YouTube. Lesson is more
effective by using the digital devices in this era. The suitable devices are tablets and laptops,
whereas mobile phones would make pupils lame and cause bad effect in classrooms. Pupils could
fulfill interactive learning by using the suitable digital devices as stated earlier. Most importantly,
the authority has to design rules and guidelines due to bad circumstances coming by using the
devices. They are proposed to use within two hours duration only in any respective subject matter
[31].
This study is a qualitative study with multiple case study methods aimed to see the excellence
characteristics of PLD either in primary or secondary schools. Therefore, in order to strengthen
the success achieved in the findings of the study, the researcher suggested that the following
study was a qualitative comparison study between PLD and other pupils in various fields. This
comparative study recommends that the differences and weaknesses inherent in PLD can be
observed, presented, and listed to further actions on formation and implementation of the
curriculum and methods of teaching to PLD. This formation and implementation are not only in
field of digital devices but also in another technique to deal with them. The next study should be
emphasized on the classroom environment-related practices. Therefore, it is proposed that
subsequent studies are based on the findings of this study to support this finding as well as for the
use of other student groups. Other researchers can build learning style inventories that emphasize
on standardization of content and specific learning for specific subjects.
It is clear that all aspects of this study are important to PLD as well as teachers. Hence, the
researcher suggests that there should be a new study to develop a more comprehensive and
integrated curriculum strategy based on the findings. The researcher also suggests that future
researchers will study specifically about the influence of teachers and parents in determining
student learning styles because surrounding influences are very important. Similarly, the
characteristics of PLD learning styles can also be compared to students who are in an inclusive
class. Finally, it is recommended that a study on the characteristics of PLD learning styles by
10. The International Journal of Multimedia & Its Applications (IJMA) Vol.9, No.4/5/6, December 2017
84
focusing on certain stimulus in-depth. In order to facilitate future researchers, interview protocols
that are certified by experts used in this research could be guided in getting in-depth information
to build a strong curriculum and learning strategy to implement for not only to PLD but also to
other students.The future researcher are also suggested to produce appropriate resources through
the use of digital devices. This particular resource of devices will be more establish if they are
produced through the contribution of the information technology (IT) experts. Instructors need
more study on digital devices element of learning styles not only for students with disability but
to all students regardless their age and background because of the individual uniqueness that
differs from one to another person.
