Exploring the Process of Quranic Software Impact on Children's Quranic Understanding Based on Mothers View

Abstract

Today, software programs, as determining structures, are playing a considerable role in humans' various life dimensions. Among these, one can refer to Quranic software programs produced by Quranic institutions for the sake of improving religious communities' understanding of the holy Quran. The present study has adopted a super structural social approach to the issue seeking the impact of that on children's understanding of the Quran. The research methodology is qualitative and has used ethnographic method as well. The qualitative data are, therefore, gathered through free observation and semi-structured interview technique. Based on targeted qualitative sampling method and also theoretical saturation criterion, 20 mothers using this type of software were selected and their views on the impact of that on their children were analyzed. The findings which are based on grounded theory consist of five general categories as follows: facilitation, optimism, expanded thought, normative structure, and empowerment. The core section of this issue is the transcendental one which incorporates other major issues.
