ABSTRACT
Learning Malay proverbs is very important to sustain the rich heritage of the Malay civilization among
young generations.However, pilot study and literature review show that students face problems in
understanding proverbs when learning using conventional method. Thus, this paper discusses the
development of a digital storybook to help the learning of selected Malays proverbs under the unity theme
using Augmented Reality (AR)technology. The application development was divided into two parts;
development of the AR-based proverbs application and the development of a digital story. For the first part,
the application was developed based on the combination of waterfallmethodology,learning theory
principles andAR application development guidelines. For the second part, the development isrelied on the
digital story development guidelines. This application development can serve as important guidelines for
the developers to develop suitable applications using AR technology to help students learn a range of
important learning concepts.
KEYWORDS
Augmented reality, digital storybook, learning theory, Malay proverbs, mobile application.
1. INTRODUCTION
The current statistics show that the numbers of mobile applications Google’s Play Store and
Apple’s App Store are 2.8 and 2.2 billion, respectively. In 20017 alone, a staggering number of
applications had been downloaded[1]. In Malaysia, the number of smart phone users has
increased to 11 million[2]. Despite such profound numbers of users, most applications are mainly
based on the genre of online games[3], indicating that applications dedicated to learning are
relatively low. Thus, all parties, notably the Ministry of Education, must embark on a new
initiative to bring about a new paradigm shift that focuses on the use of mobile applications for
education from the elementary level.
Naturally, this effort entails introducing more mobile educational software to school children.
Clearly, mobile applications offer many benefits, such as they are relatively cheaper than desktop
applications, support multimedia presentations and lifelong learning, engender appealing learning
experiences, and reduce training cost (Elias, 2011; Crescente and Lee 2011, cited in[4]).Of late,
the development of mobile applications has shifted from 2D and 3D technology to new graphics
technology, notably Augmented Reality (AR) technology, which has been making an inroad into
the domains of marketing, health, and education [5, 6]. For example, in education, AR technology
has emerged as a popular technology in developing a range of educational applications to help

149
enrich and enhance the teaching and learning process at all educational levels from pre-education
to tertiary level[7–11].Arguably, its strong popularity owes to its ability to bring in a host of
benefits for a diverse group of students. In this regard, the meta-review and cross-media analysis
carried out by Radu[12]highlighted five main benefits of using AR for education, namely
improved understanding, better learning language associations, enhanced long-term memory
retention, improved physical task performance, improved collaborations, and increased students’
attention. In view of these potential benefits, the use of such novel technology can help students
to improve their learning performances, especially among low-achieving students[9].
Interestingly, a literature review performed by Koutromanos, Sofos, and Avraamidou[13]showed
that mobile educational AR applications have been mostly used in the learning of science, with
only a few being dedicated to the learning of other non-science subjects, such as language
learning. Admittedly, several mobile AR-based applications have been developed for language
learning[14], but almost all are mainly focused on syntax and spoken words. Thus far, mobile
AR-based applications for the learning of proverbs, especially in Malay, are scarce. As
acknowledged by many linguist scholars, Malay proverbs are a treasured legacy of knowledge
that highlights the thinking of the Malays and the development of Malay civilization[15].On this
matter, research by Ahmad Mahmood, Zaitul Azma, Nor Azuwan, and Norizan[16] showed that
learning of proverbs could nurture of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), whilst preserving the
rich eastern cultures. More importantly, their research showed that learning of proverbs would
have a profound positive impact on the development of national unity and the sense of belonging
among various races in Malaysia[15]. Naturally, such unity developed at an early age would help
students to be more tolerant and accommodative in their interactions when they enter colleges or
universities, thus strengthening the bond among students of various ethnicities. As a nation with
diverse races, religions, and cultures, Malaysia certainly needs such unity to guarantee a
harmonious existence.
In the context of Malay language learning in Malaysia, proverbs are taught to both primary and
secondary students. For assessment purpose, students have to sit in an examination to test their
understanding of the topic, in which they are typically required to provide the corrects answers to
several questions, such as follows: (i) to state the correct proverb based on a given picture, (ii) to
give the right meaning of a given proverb, and (iii) to compose an essay using several given
proverbs. Notwithstanding, the existing applications are nothing more than a digital
representation of the contents of the textbook. For example, the Complete Malay Proverbs
application only displays a collection of proverbs in the alphabetical order with the accompanying
meanings without pictures. Admittedly, other applications do have 2D pictures, but they are not
compelling enough to represent the true meaning of a proverb. Arguably, the 2D representations
are not able to conceptualize the literal meaning of a proverb, thus making it very difficult to
concretize the context in the graphical form. For example, the sistemguruonline (accessible at
https://www.sistemguruonline.my/2017/04/peribahasa-bergambar.html) shows a list of 156
proverbs together with pictures, but such graphical elements are not relevant to the proverbs.
Figure 1shows the proverbs and pictures of the sistemguruonline.
In addition, Johan[17]research findings suggest that primary school students would always face
problems in learning proverbs as they tend to view the learning of subject matter to be boring.
Such a perception is not surprising as they are not able to understand the underlying meanings
embedded in the proverbs. Arguably, they would only read such proverbs and try to make sense
of the meanings literally, without delving deeper into the context of such meanings. In fact, such a
problem is not confined to school students but also to college and university students as well. A
case in point is best exemplified by Hasmidar and Jafizah[18]study that showed education
undergraduates majoring in the Malay Language were unable to accurately interpret the actual

150
meanings of proverbs. The same researchers argued that such an inability was attributed to
number of several factors, such as the lack of exposure to all types of proverbs, infrequent use of
proverbs in everyday life, lack of practice to help retain the meanings of proverbs, and inability to
clearly explain the actual meaning of proverbs, even though they had sufficient understanding of
the proverbs. Based on their reasons, it could be reasonably argued that the undergraduates lacked
the essential knowledge of proverbs, thus resulting in their failure to understand the true meaning
of the proverbs.
Figure 1: The proverbs and pictures of the sistemguruonline
In addition, a pilot study carried out by the present researchers found that some students were
struggling to form a mental picture or to visualize a given proverb due to their unfamiliarity with
some of the terms used in such a proverb. For example, virtually all the students were not able to
form a mental picture of the proverb “jikalaumengangin, jangantumpahpadinya”,as the word
“mengangin” (which means to expose something to the wind flow) was unheard of in today’s
realm as far as they were concerned. Given this predicament, a new, novel approach is therefore
needed in the learning of parables such that the latent parables could be represented in a better
situation. In this regard, Ahmad Mahmood et al,. [16] recommends that the learning of proverbs
should be based on oral activities, reading, and writing to increase the use of proverbs and to
improve the mastery of the meaning of proverbs. On this matter, the use of digital storybooks
seems appropriate to apply all the above three activities. Such use is in line with the assertion of
Robin[19], who asserts that digital storytelling that combines text, pictures, audio narration,
music, and video can help deliver a story more vividly. As such, AR technology is a potent
educational tool for students at of all ages and grade levels[19–21]. Given the ample evidence
supporting the use of AR technology in many areas of science learning, it therefore aptly that
such a novel technology be applied to the learning of proverbs. In light of the issues discussed
above, this study was carried out with the main aim of developing a digital storybook based on
mobile AR technology to improve the learning of proverbs among school children. The
discussion of this paper is dedicated to the development of digital courseware by focusing on the
following:
i) The development of an AR-based digital storybook of proverbs.
ii) The development of an AR-based proverbsapplication.

151
2. METHODOLOGY
In general, the Instructional Software Design (ISD) model is used for the development of
educational or instructional applications. However, the contemporary learning tools are more than
just a learning tool, thus entailing new methodologies that are suitable for the development of
training or learning tools using latest technologies available, such as AR or virtual reality (VR)
technology. Clearly, the development of technology-based learning materials requires a new
methodology thattakes into account two critical elements, namely the technological element and
the educational element, with the former focusing on the chosen technology or platform and the
latter paying greater detail to the educational aspects of learning or training. Therefore, the
methodology used in this study for thedevelopment of the AR-based proverbs application was
based on such integrated methodology that integrated both elements. In essence, the development
of a novel AR application was divided into two as follows:
i. The development of an AR-basedapplication for each chosen proverb.
ii. The development of a digital storybook containing a story with the appropriate AR-based
application.
For the development of the AR-based applications, the researchers used the Waterfall model with
the AR development guidelines. On the other hand, the researchers used the digital story
guidelines for the development of the digital storybook.
2.1 The development of the AR-basedApplication for each chosen proverb
The Waterfall model used for the development of the AR-based application for each chosen
proverb consists of five phases as follows: (i)Requirement analysis, (ii) Design,(iii)Development
and Coding, (iv) Testing,and (v) Maintenance. This development model was chosen based on the
premise that the application is small, and the analysis and design phases could be carried out in
detail prior to implementing the development process. In this paper, only the analysis and design
phases are discussed.
a. Analysis Phase
In this phase, the main difference in the analysis between the educational software and the non-
educational software is that the former had to deal with the educational elements.Specifically, the
educational elements that had to be considered in this phase were thelearner analysis, instructional
analysis, and objectives analysis.As such, to perform the threeanalyses these aspects, the
researchers had to conduct a short interview with threeMalay language teachers in a secondary
school. Table 1 summarizes the main findings of the interview with regards to the analysis of the
educational elements.
As for the functional requirement, the applications could detect markers in the digital storybook
without any problem. Instead of using the normal QR code (as presented by patterns as a marker),
the proverbs of the AR applicationsthemselves served as markers that could be scanned (detected)
by the camera of a smartphone. Figure 2 shows an example of a marker of the application based
on the text of a Malay proverb in the digital storybook

Table 1: The background of learners, instructional and objectives analysis
Educational Element Description
Learner i. Form-One students who attended apublic school.
ii. Level of intelligence: Average and slow learner.
iii. Gender: Female and Male
iv. Prior knowledge
- Could understand the Malay Language.
- Could defineproverbs adequately
v. Were able to use a tablet or a smartphone
Instructional Analysis i. Content: 10 proverbs based on the Bahasa MelayuForm-Onetextbook[22].
ii. Learning strategy would bestudent-centered. Hence, the students would
use the application independently, with their teacher acting as a facilitator.
iii. The learning theory used was the Cognitive Learning Theory, with which
one of the schema or concepts was employed in developing the appropriate
instructions based on severalunifying themes for the learning content[23].
In this regard, the researchers developedtheshort digital story with the
appropriate theme that wouldexplain several selected proverbs that are
regularly used in the reallife,such that the students couldcomprehend the
proverbs easily. According to this theory, information that lacks a theme
can be difficult to comprehend, or, worse, the learner may “accrete”
information using a wrong schema.Furthermore, digital storytelling can act
as an platform to connect people of different races and cultures [21], which
is extremely vital for Malaysia comprising a diverse population.
iv. Presentation of contents
a) AR-basedproverb apps – every proverb will be presentedin the
graphical form, accompanied with relevant audio narration.
b) Digital storybook – each proverb will be included in and explainedby
a short continuous story.
v. Type of technology – the digital storybookwas developed using the
marker-basedmobile ARtechnology that supports all types of android-
based mobile devices. Essentially,the marker would be scanned by the
device camera to launch the application.
Objectives of the
applications
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able:
1. To explain the meaning of each proverb that is included in the
applications and the digital story book.
2. To writea sentence using each proverbthat is included in the
applications and the digital story book.
Assessment Not included in the applications.

153
Admittedly, there are several typesof AR technology that are available; however, the researchers
decided to use themarker-based AR technology due to its lower cost of ownership for teachers
and suitability for young learners, such as 13-year-old students. From the development
perspective, this type of AR helped the researchers to create digital storybooksconsisting markers,
to which any smartphone camera can easily detect to launch the application with ease. For the
non-functional requirements, learnersmust be able to use the applications without any difficulties.
Certainly, such requirements entailed the researchers to ensure the application can provide
smooth, intuitive interactions, with which learnerscan perform learning tasks comfortably. In
addition, 3D images and animations were used to highlight the meanings of proverbs more
clearly, the understanding of which was further enhanced with relevant audios.
b. Design Phase
As highlighted previously, to helpstudents understand and acquire new knowledge easily, such
new knowledge must be presented in aform with aunifying theme. Therefore, such a form was
used by the researchers in the development of the digital short storybook. In this respect, a short
story that is developed without the use of an innovative technology will lack features that can help
attract users. Especially, in this digital age, students naturally expect to see attractive, appealing in
their application. Failing to do so, students can become demotivated at best or frustrated at worst.
On this particular matter, the AR technology has the capability to create innovative features and
engender engaging learning environments, in which students can learning with a high degree of
satisfaction and enjoyment, which can increase their understanding and long-term memory
retention[9, 10, 12, 24]. Given such potential, thus researchers decided to develop the AR-
basedproverb applicationbased on a short story, effectively transforming into a digital storybook
with AR features.
To ensure a sound development, the researchers used the AR design guidelines as proposed
byEndsley et al., [25],which was derived from the heuristics usability evaluation. Principally,
there are nine (9) guidelinesare as follows: (i) Fit with user’s environment and tasks, (ii) Form the
communication function, (iii) Minimization of distractions and overload, (iv) Adaptation to user’s
positions and motion, (v) Alignment of the physical and virtual worlds, (vi) Fit with user’s
physical abilities, (vii) Fit with user’s perceptual abilities, (viii) Accessibility of the off-screen
objects, and (ix) Account ofthehardware capabilities. Table 2summarizes the guidelines used in
the design of the digital AR-based proverbs application.
Table 2: Theimplementation of the AR guidelines in the design phase.
Item Design Guideline Implementation of the guideline
1. Fit with the user’s environment and
task – AR experiences should use
visualizations and metaphors that have
meaning within the physical and task
environments in which they are
presented.
The researchers decided to apply 3D animationsto
helpstudents visualize the metaphors in their physical
environment. Essentially, each proverb is presented by
each 3D animation. The use of such animations isneeded
because some students have difficulty to interpret or
imagine several termsthat they have never heard or seen
before. For example, the term “rebung”, which means
bamboo shoots, is rarely seen or heard nowadays in the
digital world. Thus, by providing an appropriate 3D
animation,the students will be able to discern the meaning
of the related proverb more precisely. Table 3 shows
three 3D animations to help students visualize the
meanings of three proverbs.

154
2. Formation ofthe communication
function.
All the 3D images and animations are representedin a
real-life situation, which can be easily understood by the
students.
3. Minimization of distractions and
overload – the design should not be
excessively cluttered, busy, or filled
with too many movements.
The 3D animation of each proverb only focuses on the
main element of the proverb. For example, the design of
the proverbBagaiaurdengantebing only comprises
bamboo trees, bamboo shoots, and the animation of a
hand bending the bamboo shoots, without any text for the
explanation of such a proverb. Moreover, the view pane
has only four elements, namely a 3D animation in the
view section, a 3600
view button, an audio icon, and an
exit icon. In addition, an audiocan be played only once,
but it can be replayed if needed.
4. Adapt to user’s positions and motion –
the application should be adaptable
such that the virtual elements will be
useful and usable as seen from various
viewing angles, distances, and
movements made by the user.
The application should allow the user to view the
contents in 3600
such that he or she can view an object
from any angle. The button for the 3600
viewing is
provided, with which the user can slide to the right or to
the left to find the angle that he or she finds fitting.
5. Alignment of the physical and virtual
worlds – the placement of virtual
elements should make sense to the
user in the physical environment.
As the AR-based application would be implemented
using a tablet, the virtual objects would appearat the top
of the digital storybook.
6 Fit with user’s physical abilities –
interacting with the AR-based
application shouldbe simple and
intuitive, not challenging or
complicated.
Considering that the mean age of the intended users’ is 13
years, the researchers designed the application with
minimal use of physical activities. As such, all the
interactions for this applicationuse only the touchscreen.
To start the application, the user only needs to touch the
application icon and followed by clicking the start button.
To makea 3D animation appear, the user only needs to
hold the tablet and scan a target displayed on the digital
storybook. Other interactions can be carried out by
touching the audio icon to repeat an audio or by touching
the 3600
buttonto view an object from several different
angles.
7. Fit with the user’s perceptual abilities
– the designers should consider the
size, color, motion, distance, and
resolution when designing the AR-
based application such as to fit with
the user’s perceptual ability.
The 3D images created should reflect real images in
terms of shape, color, and size. The size of images is
designed for the 8” display screen. Likewise, the
animations used should showthe proverbs realistically
using the real motion. For example, the animation of an
ant carrying food should use the proper motion that
3D animation view

Exit icon

155
realistically mimics the ant’s motion.
8. Accessibility of off-screen objects. Not applicable as the AR-based applicationdoes not have
any off-screen objects.
9. Account of the hardware capabilities. In this aspect, the researchers had to take into
consideration the cost of procuring the required hardware,
namely a tablet, which is typically priced at about USD
145.00 – USD160.00. Thus, whendesigning
the AR-basedapplication, the researcherssought the
minimum requirements of the system, which falls under
the price range, as follows:
 OS: Android 6.0.
 CPU: Quad-core 1.0 GHz
 DISPLAY: 8.0 inches (~70.7% screen-to-body
ratio) 800 x 1280 pixels
 CAMERA: 5MP REAR, 2MP FRONT
 STORAGE/RAM: 2 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM

3. Sepertikatak di bawahtempurung Like a frog under a shell The selected animation shows a
frog having a clear vision of
theoutside world when the shell is
liftedabove it, and the vision returns
to darkness whenthe shell is closed.
2.2 The Development of the Digital Storybook
According to Santos et al.,[14], a language is usually shaped by the prevailing physical, social,
and cultural aspects of a particular environment in which people interact with one another. In the
same manner, a proverb comes into being in response to an event or incident. Based on this
premise, the researchers used a short digital story to explain each selected proverb of the AR-
based proverbs application. As highlighted previously, the selection of the proverbs was based on
the Form-One Malay Language textbook consisting of 10 proverbs[22]. Specifically, the
development of the digital storybook was based on the digital story development guideline
proposed by Robin[19]. Based on this guideline, the first step involves choosing a particular topic
of interest. In concert with the cognitive development theory, the needs of thematic requirements
in delivering a specific concept to students must be given a strong emphasis such as to the
students will be able to understand the context of learning more efficaciously[23]. As such, the
researchers proposed a relevant topic called “Kampungku Kampung Permai” (My Village is a
Harmonious Village) that is premised on an appropriate theme that reflects the diverse
communities in Malaysia. More importantly, this theme provides a penetrating view of the
importance of unity and harmony of various segments of the Malaysian population. According
toMohdMahzan et al.,[15], the learning of Malay proverbs can not only teach students the
creative and critical thinking of the Malays during the peak of their civilization but can also
provide an effective means in developing and nurturing the national unity among diverse
Malaysians. In addition,Basir[26] asserts that the concept of unity must be understood and
celebrated by all races in Malaysia, which can be infused in the learning activities as the primary
level of education. In this study, the focus was on the curriculum of the lower secondary school
for Form-One students, whose ages were relatively young and untainted minds could be imbued
with noble values of a caring, tolerant society.
In the digital storybook, the concepts of good manners, cooperation, accountability, collaboration,
and harmonious co-existence among various races in a village are emphasized. Admittedly, not
all the selected proverbs were based on the theme of unity, such as “Katak di bawahtempurung”
(A frog living under a shell). As such, the researchers were compelled to create several interesting
short stories based on such a theme. The second step of the guideline involves the composition of
the scripts of a story. The guideline stresses that the scripts mustto be composed as a focused,
personal, and shortnarrative, which has an interesting beginning, an engaging storyline in the
midway of the story, and a good ending, the emotional elements of which can be embedded in the
story using relevant audio. Based on this guideline, the researchers created the main character of a
person representing a small boy living in a small village that is used throughout the storytelling.
More specifically, the story was composed as a short composition consisting of only 15 pages, of
which 10 have several scripts containing the selected proverbs.

157
The storybegins at a location of the village, showing the name of the village and highlighting the
concept of unity and harmony practiced in the village. In the midway of the story, an incident
involving a villager is presented to the users, with the aim to invoke a sense of an emotional
feeling. The story culminates in an ending, showing a peaceful, harmonious village in which, all
its members are helpful, caring, not selfish nor unmindful. In addition, this digital story does not
have an audio, as such a source of information is used in the AR-based proverb application. The
final step of the guideline focuses on the preparation of relevant images for a given story. In this
step, the researchers developed an image that depicts a typical village environment in Malaysia.
More importantly, the image was craftily created to highlight the selected proverbs more vividly
and clearly, such as to be in line with the objectives of the educational courseware. For example,
Figure 3 shows a proverb called “kuatlilit kerana simpulnya”, which literally means “united we
stand, divided we fall” to emphasize the concept of unity. Figure 3 depicts the image showing the
“kuatlilit kerana simpulnya” proverb.
Finally, the following step of the guideline focuses on the story development in digital form. In
this study, however, the application for the story was developed separately, except the target that
would be scanned by the application was inserted in the story.

3. CONCLUSION
Undeniably, the learning of proverbs is important not only for preserving this unique Malay
heritage but also for the objective of attaining and sustaining strong, sound national unity among
diverse groups of Malaysians. To achieve such a sense of togetherness, obviously, education
plays a pivotal role. Only through education, can Malaysians, especially young children, learn to
appreciate and practice such a concept in their everyday lives. As such, students must be exposed
to activities that can help them develop strong bond irrespective of their religious beliefs, the
color of their skins, or social background. In this regard, learning the appropriate Malay proverbs
that touch on the theme of unity can help students to develop national unity at the early age of
their formal learning. Admittedly, teaching Malay proverbs can be a daunting task as some
proverbs are not easily discernable to the uninitiated, notably to young students. Further
compounding this predicament, the existing learning approach is not effective enough to motivate
students to learn the subject matter. Clearly, a more efficacious learning method is needed to help
mitigate such a problem. Against this backdrop, this study was carried out with the main aim to
develop a novel mobile learning application in the form of a digital storybook of proverbs with
the use of the marker-based AR technology. In developing such an innovative learning
application, a methodology combining the system development guidelines and educational

158
application development principles were used to ensure such an application will be able to make
the learning of Malay proverbs more engaging, enjoyable, and efficacious. Surely, the use of such
potent learning application can have a profound impact on students’ learning performance and
motivation, which can ultimately help them to forge strong national unity, a social construct that
can make Malaysia a safe, peaceful place to live in. Lastly the development of this application can
serve as important guidelines for the developers to develop suitable applications using the AR
technology to help students learn a range of important learning concepts.
