Assistance for Madrasah Diniyyah Teachers in Implementing Children's Al-Qur'an Literacy Learning

Abstract

Eradicating Al-Qur'an illiteracy is an important agenda item that must be prioritized. It is one of the problems in madrasah diniyyah institutions that requires a broad range of teacher competencies related to meaningful and enjoyable Al-Quran learning in the aspects of planning, preparation, and use of learning media, as well as various evaluation techniques for early Al-Qur'an literacy learning for madrasah diniyyah students. As a solution, to improve competence and skills in carrying out early Al-Qur'an literacy learning, madrasah teachers must be given knowledge and skills in managing early Al-Qur'an literacy learning. The goal is that teachers can provide proper early Qur'an literacy learning for madrasah students. The Community-Based Participatory Research Method (CBPR) is used in this service. This method seeks to facilitate the community in improving academic quality. The empowerment results show that the ability of madrasah teachers to implement early Qur'an literacy learning has significantly increased through several activities that have been carried out, namely planning lesson plans, methods, and techniques of learning the Qur'an, selecting Al-Qur'an learning media, and applying Al-Qur'an learning evaluation techniques. Assistance for madrasah teachers must always be carried out to expand their pedagogical competence.
