Abstract

Jawi script was a writing system that used for composing the Malay language. It was created from the approach of Islam in “Tanah Melayu” which present known as Malaysia. Since British education system supplanted our Jawi with Romanized content, our new age scarcely knew and utilized Jawi content. Our young generation mostly used roman writing as their main communication through writing. The aim of this study is to create an intelligent learning strategy based on Augmented Reality (AR) on the preservation of Jawi in order to communicate knowledge in a more efficient, simple, and convincing manner. The ADDIE Model will be used in this study to ensure that the knowledge is communicated effectively. In this vein, this study will draw attention to Malaysian efforts to save the Jawi script from extinction. The app was put through its paces with 27 users participating in a beta test. Users were issued a post-action survey to gauge their interest in the activity. Users must also adapt to the new developments in their learning environment, according to the results. As shown by the favourable user feedback, the overall behaviour has a positive effect on users.
