Abstract

The Al-Qur'an Reading and Writing Program (BTQ) aims to improve students' Qur'an reading skills according to Tajwid rules and foster religious character through systematic education. This study examines the planning, implementation, and assessment of the BTQ program at SD Negeri 11 Sabang using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, and documentation. Findings reveal that program planning was thorough and structured, starting with initial assessments to gauge student abilities, curriculum development aligned with the school's vision, and scheduling that did not disrupt other lessons. The program involved key stakeholders such as the principal, vice principal, PAI teachers, and parents, ensuring comprehensive support. Implementation was student-centered, employing methods like iqra' and tahsin to enhance reading accuracy and Tajwid mastery, while also promoting religious character through motivational activities like Qur'an reading competitions. Collaboration with parents and material adjustments based on students’ abilities contributed to the program's smooth execution. Regular monitoring through assessments and classroom observations measured students' progress. Personalized support was provided for those needing extra assistance. With consistent monitoring and targeted guidance, the BTQ program effectively improved students' Qur'an reading skills and strengthened their religious character.

Abstract

Understanding individual learning styles is essential for enhancing educational outcomes, particularly among high-achieving students. This study explores the characteristics, distribution, and academic implications of learning styles—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic—among outstanding students at UIN Ar-Raniry, Banda Aceh. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the research involved 24 students selected from nine faculties based on academic excellence. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model of qualitative analysis. The findings reveal that 37.5% of participants demonstrated a preference for visual learning, benefiting most from reading, writing, and visual representations. Auditory learners comprised 33.33%, favoring discussion-based and listening-centered activities, while 29.16% were kinesthetic learners who excelled through physical engagement and experiential learning. These results suggest that the dominant learning style among high-achieving students is visual, followed closely by auditory and kinesthetic preferences. The study indicates a potential correlation between learning style alignment and academic performance, although causality cannot be inferred due to methodological limitations. Nevertheless, the findings support the importance of differentiated instruction. Educators are encouraged to design flexible, multimodal learning environments that cater to diverse cognitive preferences. While the study offers insights specific to a localized educational context, broader generalizations require further empirical validation using larger and more diverse samples.
