ABSTRACT

The implementation of graphic interactive methods in the teaching of economics in Sekolah Agama Bantuan Kerajaan (SABK) schools presents a considerable opportunity to improve both the level of student participation and their level of comprehension. It is important to note that the implementation of these methods is laden with difficulties. The purpose of this study is to offer a full investigation into these problems, with a particular emphasis on technological obstacles, teacher readiness, student involvement, and institutional support. In this study, a qualitative methodology supported by grounded theory is utilised to conduct an analysis of the data gathered from interviews conducted with students and teachers from certain SABK schools. Inadequate infrastructure and a lack of maintenance are two examples of technological barriers that greatly restrict the adoption of graphic interactive methods, according to the research. In addition, a significant number of educators do not receive proper training, which frequently results in opposition and inefficient implementation of these strategies. Although the use of visual interactive tools has the potential to increase student engagement, the success of these tools is contingent on bridging the digital divide and integrating them with more conventional instructional strategies. It is absolutely necessary to have institutional support in order to have a successful implementation. This will include administrative backing, clear policy frameworks, and sufficient financing. In order to address these problems, this study emphasises the importance of targeted professional development, enhanced technology infrastructure, and strong institutional support by highlighting the necessity of these things.
