    Innovation in teaching aids is vital in education as the ever changing education landscape requires diversity in teaching strategies and methods, said Dean of Faculty of Education at the Religious Teachers University College of Seri Begawan (KUPU SB) Dr Muhd Zahiri bin Awang Mat.

    He said this during the Teaching Material Aids Exhibition 2023 organised by KUPU SB in collaboration with Sultan Mizan Institute of Education (IPG Sultan Mizan) Terengganu, Malaysia.

    Dr Muhd Zahiri emphasised on the significance of equipping teachers with not only pedagogical knowledge, but also creative and innovative skills that can assist them with up- to-date and effective teaching aids.

    He believes that the exhibition will provide an opportunity for the exchange of ideas on teaching aids.

    Meanwhile, Ra’es of KUPU SB Dr Haji Adanan bin Haji Basar said teaching aids need to meet certain characteristics, including the use of existing materials, cost effectiveness, portability, and practicality.

    The exhibition is expected to contribute latest ideas between the two institutions based on their teaching experiences.

    Some 66 teaching aids were exhibited by students of the two institutes.

    There was also a presentation on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching and learning by a Year 3 trainee teacher from the Department of Islamic Education and Moral, IPG Sultan Mizan Terengganu Ameer Mustaqeem bin Mohamad.

    The AI-based teaching aid focusses on teaching students a specific writing of hijahiyah (Arabic letters), while generating student engagement.

    Through AI, students will learn the steps to form Arabic letters using movements that can be detected by the program. The afternoon session saw a presentation on product innovation and commercialisation development from Professor Dr Mohd Shahril bin Ahmad Razimi of the Faculty of Social Science Education at KUPU SB.

    He believes that innovation can mean various things, such as the process of creating new products, modifying existing products for improvements and a planned visual information to produce two-dimensional images.
