Integration of Microlearning in Teaching Buddhism: Analysis of Potentials and Barriers

Abstract

This research explores the implementation of microlearning in Buddhist teaching with a focus on increasing flexibility and effectiveness through educational technology. The research aims to identify and analyze the potential and obstacles faced by educators in integrating microlearning into the Buddhist curriculum and propose innovative solutions to overcome these barriers. The methodology used was a qualitative analysis of selected academic literature and interviews with Buddhist educators which provide in-depth insight into their experiences and perceptions. The main findings show that although microlearning offers opportunities for more adaptive and responsive learning, barriers such as a lack of customized materials and resistance from traditional educators often hinders its implementation. The research also reveals that effective use of microlearning requires a better understanding of learners’ needs and strategic integration of technology in learning. The Implications of this research include recommendations for the development of more relevant microlearning resources, training for educators in using the methods, and the utilization of technology to support more interactive and engaging teaching. This research offers important insights for Buddhist educators, policy makers, and researchers in education, highlighting how microlearning can be a valuable tool in modern education.
