ABSTRACT
Teachers have tried to teach their students by introducing text books along with verbal instructions in traditional education system. However, teaching and learning methods could be changed for developing Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It's time to adapt students with interactive learning system so that they can improve their learning, catching, and memorizing capabilities. We developed an educational resource material (animated film in Tahderiyyah Literacy App) for students of pre-school level using different Muslim practices content. The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of student's abilities to acquire new knowledge or skills through educational resource materials and blended learning that is integration of material with teacher's instructions. We visited a primary school in Manila City, Philippines for this study and conducted evaluation in different sessions with the same groups of students (i) the first session was with only educational resource material and assessment was done with 10 questionnaires, (ii) the second session was with the animated film combined with teacher's instructions and assessed with the same questionnaires. This integration of animated film with verbal instructions is a blended approach of learning. The approach greatly promoted student's ability of acquisition of knowledge and skills. Students response and perception were very positive towards the blended technique than the other methods. This resource may be appropriate method to be part of blending leaning system especially for school children.
