In the context of multimedia in religious education, researchers employ content analysis to examine and interpret the content of multimedia materials used in teaching. This analysis involve identifying recurring themes, analyzing the alignment of multimedia content with religious teachings, and evaluating the effectiveness of multimedia elements (e.g., visuals, audio, interactivity) in conveying religious concepts. The results indicate that multimedia can enhance the teacher teaching process and improve the learning experience for participants.
