Abstract

This research aims to explore strategies for improving Al-Quran Reading and Writing (Baca Tulis al-Quran / BTQ) skills in public schools, with a case study at SMAN 2 Bandung. Studying the Koran is essential for every Muslim that studying the Koran is the most important thing for every Muslim, especially in terms of reading each verse in it which contains certain tajwid laws that must be obeyed when reading it. However, in reality there are quite a few people who still make mistakes in reading and pronouncing the Koran. Reading and Writing the Qur'an is a key skill in Islamic education, focusing on both Arabic mastery and character development, but also contributes to the development of students' character and morals. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document studies, which were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results of this research indicate that limited time and minimal support for learning at home are the main challenges in implementing BTQ in public schools. The school applies the "bandungan" method for BTQ learning, where students take turns reading with correction from teachers and classmates, as well as daily Koran assignments at home.

Abstract

Modern teaching prioritizes student-centered learning, yet teacher-centered methods (TCM) still exist in many contexts, including Tanzanian colleges. This study investigates the factors that motivate the continued use of TCM in selected teacher training institutions in Tanzania. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 150 college teachers through structured questionnaires, analyzed with the Relative Importance Index (RII) to rank the motivational factors. The research findings reveal three main factors driving the use of TCM, which consist of teachers' belief in its effectiveness, poor student cooperation perception, and low student learning ability. Additional but less significant factors include class size, resource limitations, and standardized testing demands. This study concludes that deeply rooted teacher beliefs and contextual classroom challenges reinforce the use of TCM, despite policy changes advocating for student-centered methods. (LCM). This study recommends enhancing teacher training programs that focus on fostering student engagement and addressing student ability perceptions to align teaching practices with modern educational goals.
