The use of teaching aids (TA) in the classroom is necessary to ensure that the teacher’s explanations in teaching and learning (T&L) process are easily comprehended by students. The TA materials used depend on the needs of the teacher in accordance with the T&L design that will be implemented. However, the use of TA is not an undemanding matter as it requires the teacher’s keenness in carrying out the plan that has been designed. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the obstacles that exist among Islamic Education Teachers (GPI) during the use of TA. Qualitative design was used to obtain interview data upon five GPIs and five GPI supervisors at the Smart School. The interview results were analysed using the NVivo 7.0 software by generating the theme of the study findings. Based on the analysis, there are eight obstacles listed by the GPIs on the use of teaching aids. All of these then form a pattern of study findings that perpetuates the two main obstacles for Islamic Education Teachers in the use of teaching aids, namely time and preparation. The results of this study are very meaningful to the Malaysian Ministry of Education (KPM), the State Education Office (JPN), and school administrators. The findings of this study show that the teachers need to be given time for the preparation to implement the planning of TA in the PdP process.

The previous convention of formal learning at school has now shifted into online learning. This shift is unavoidable due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This method of writing is based on the literature highlights obtained by the author. The biggest challenge is the move from face-to-face learning between teachers and students to online learning. This change brings positive effects to assessments that are oriented to the actual student’s achievements, be it in terms of cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills. Besides that, writing practices in the form of books, or hard copies, are converted to soft copies through the use of Google Form, Kahoot!, Padlet and the likes. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak has forced educators to rethink their approaches, strategies and assessment activities that are more suited to online learning. In addition, assessment activities need to be altered to fit the capabilities of online learning. It must also facilitate the mastery of skills or aspects of a student in a certain subject and this will act as a guide for teachers in designing the rubrics as a means to assess students’ assignments. The outcome of this study gives the implication that the selection of students’ assignments that correspond to the topics learned proves that students are able to achieve mastery in a subject without the need of examinations, but instead guided by assessment rubrics designed by the teachers. ABSTRAK Pembelajaran formal di sekolah telah berubah menjadi pembelajaran secara atas talian. Hal ini merupakan suatu perkara yang tidak dapat dielakkan disebabkan oleh penularan wabak COVID-19. Kaedah penulisan ini adalah bersandarkan kepada sorotan literatur yang diperolehi oleh penulis. Halangan yang paling besar adalah pembelajaran secara bersemuka oleh guru dan murid telah bertukar kepada pembelajaran atas talian. Perubahan ini memberikan kesan yang positif apabila penilaian yang berorientasikan kepada peperiksaan kepada pencapaian sebenar pelajar yang mampu diukur melalui aspek lain sama ada daripada segi kognitif, afektif dan psikomotor. Selain itu, latihan bertulis yang bersifat salinan keras (hard copy) berbentuk buku telah bertukar menjadi salinan lembut (soft copy) seperti penggunaan Google Form, Kahoot!, Padlet dan sebagainya. Kesan daripada penularan wabak COVID-19 ini memerlukan para guru memikirkan semula pendekatan, strategi dan aktiviti penilaian yang bersesuaian dengan pembelajaran secara atas talian. Disamping itu, aktiviti penilaian perlu disesuaikan dengan kemampuan kaedah atas talian dan bersifat keperluan kepada kemahiran atau aspek yang perlu dikuasai oleh pelajar dalam satu-satu mata pelajaran menjadi panduan dalam pembinaan rubrik penilaian tugasan pelajar. Hasil penulisan ini memberikan implikasi bahawa pemilihan tugasan pelajar yang selari dengan tajuk yang diajar dapat memberikan kesan kepada penguasaan ilmu yang dipelajari tanpa berorientasi kepada peperiksaan dan berpandukan kepada rubrik penilaian yang dibina oleh guru.
