Abstract


Involvements in Islamic visual arts activities are considered valuable because they are able to foster creativity and provide opportunities to children to explore, express ideas, and improve their developmental skills. In this study, a qualitative method was used to demonstrate the influence of Islamic visual arts education on the social development of children. Data was collected through the involvement of teachers who participated in group-focused discussions and semi-structure interviews to gain their experiences in the early childhood education environment. The data was analysed in-depth and used several existing studies and contemporary studies to look at the importance of Islamic visual arts education on the development of children's social skills. New themes were acknowledged including social competence traits such as groups, communications, support, and conflict resolution that can provide a further overview of the effectiveness of implementation using the Islamic visual arts in lessons for pre-school children.
