PERANAN GURU AGAMA ISLAM DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MEMBACA AL-QUR’AN PADA SISWA MADRASAH ALIYAH

Abstract

The role of Islamic Religious Education teachers is very important in the learning process at school because teachers are the individuals who interact directly with students during classroom activities. The focus of this study is to examine the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers in improving the Qur’an reading ability of students at Madrasah Aliyah, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting the implementation of this role. In addition to being educators, Islamic Religious Education teachers also have the responsibility to guide, nurture, and provide good role models for students so that they are able to understand and practice the values of the Qur’an in their daily lives.

This study aims to identify the efforts made by Islamic Religious Education teachers in improving students’ ability to read the Qur’an, including introducing the Qur’an to students, fostering students’ love for the Qur’an, creating an innovative learning atmosphere, acting as motivators for students, and conducting learning evaluations so that learning objectives can be achieved optimally. Furthermore, this study also aims to determine the supporting and inhibiting factors in the Qur’an learning process. Through these various efforts, it is expected that students will not only be able to read the Qur’an properly and correctly, but also have strong motivation to continue learning and practicing the teachings contained in the Qur’an.

This research uses a qualitative approach with the research conducted at Madrasah Aliyah. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that Islamic Religious Education teachers play a significant role in improving students’ ability to read the Qur’an, although in its implementation there are various supporting factors and obstacles that influence the Qur’an learning process. Therefore, good cooperation among teachers, schools, parents, and the surrounding environment is needed so that the Qur’an learning process can run effectively and provide optimal results for the development of students’ abilities
