Abstract

Memorization of sacred texts, particularly the Qur’an (Hifz), is a vital global pedagogical practice in Islamic education, yet institutions consistently face challenges related to variations in students’ memorization speed and the durability of retention. These inconsistencies stem from varying individual cognitive capacities. This study aims to identify, apply, and evaluate the effectiveness of targeted working memory strategies in enhancing cognitive capacity and optimizing both the immediate memorization and long-term retention of Qur’anic content among students. Employing a quantitative approach, the study recruited 32 participants from the Faculty of Dirasat Islamiyah at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University in Jakarta. Data were analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests, specifically the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Kruskal-Wallis test, alongside descriptive statistics, to compare pre- and post-intervention memorization and retention scores. The findings indicated a statistically significant difference between the mean pre-test and post-test scores, accompanied by a medium effect size, confirming the strategies’ immediate efficacy. Crucially, the decrease in scores between the post-test and subsequent retention measurement was significantly smaller than the decrease between the pre-test and initial retention measurement. The memorization strategy model used effectively enhances working memory function and significantly improves both initial learning and retention rates. This research strongly recommends the application of this strategy model within Islamic educational institutions to optimize students’ Hifz performance, bridging the gap between traditional practices and cognitive-pedagogical advancements.

Abstract

This study examines the level of cultural literacy among the students of Ma’had al-Jami’ah at PTKIN as an indicator for assessing perspectives and attitudes related to religious moderation, particularly in terms of accommodative attitudes towards local culture. Previous studies on the influence of literacy on religious moderation present mixed findings. Mahmudah and Handayani emphasize a significant correlation between literacy levels and religious moderation, while Wulan argues the opposite. This research employs a quota sampling method. The population consists of Ma’had al-Jami’ah students from four institutions: UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, UIN Sunang Gunung Djati Bandung, UIN Walisongo Semarang, and UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, with a total sample of 365 students. The findings reveal a very high level of cultural literacy among the students, with a score of 100 on the scale and an index of 83.03%. This was assessed based on three cultural literacy indicators. There are religiosity values (88.59%), cultural sensitivity (86.67%) and intercultural interaction (76.01%). The accommodative attitudes towards local culture were measured at 79.33%. Hypothesis testing indicates that cultural literacy has a significant impact on accommodative attitudes towards local culture, with a coefficient of 0.4665 or 32.28%. The results suggest that the higher the level of cultural literacy, the stronger the students’ religious moderation.
