Abstract
This study was conducted to identify the effect of using a multimedia instructional podcasting system on the achievement motivation in learning Quran among the fourth-grade elementary school boys in Miandorud Country. This quasi-experimental study, with a pre-test and post-test design, was conducted within a certain time table. Given that it is a quasi-experimental study, 30 fourth-grade elementary school boys were selected, using simple sampling technique. The subjects were randomly placed in two equal-sized groups. Before the initiation of the teaching session, the pre-test was administered to both groups. One group received traditional way of teaching Quran, and the other group was taught through multimedia instructional podcasting. The post-test was administered after the completion of the course. In both pre-test and post-test stages, Harter's Motivation Scale and a researcher-made questionnaire were used. Data analysis was done both descriptively and inferentially. Research findings showed that the use of a multimedia instructional podcasting system had no significant effect on the subjects' achievement motivation in Quran course; however, it was significantly effective in their learning.
