The objective of this study is to identify the children’s state in tajweed learning and their perception of the technology-based learning approach. An initial study at a rural area in the northern region of Malaysia was conducted to investigate the children’s performance and perception, as well as additional information from the educators. A total of 33 children answered a questionnaire and recorded their audio and video of Quranic recitations for both perception and performance investigations. Meanwhile, interviews were conducted with seven educators. The results showed that the children’s performance of accurate tajweed articulation of the Quranic recitations was unsatisfactory. Qolqolah rules were the most common errors made by the children in which there were more than 100 occurrences of errors. Additionally, the findings revealed positive perceptions of the technology-based learning approach for tajweed learning. The educators confirmed that the children were uninterested in the current tajweed learning method as it was tedious. An unattractive learning approach can influence the children’s performance. Hopefully, this study will pave the ways for creating more interesting and effective approaches in tajweed learning for children, particularly in technology-based learning.
