Abstract

This study aims to describe the strategies used by teachers in teaching the Quran using the Iqro’ method at a Quranic Education Institution in Padang, West Sumatra, as well as to determine the effectiveness of this method’s implementation and the factors that support and hinder the learning process. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. The research subjects were teachers at the Quran Education Institution, while the research object was the teachers’ strategies in teaching the Quran using the Iqro’ method. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that teachers’ strategies involve systematic lesson planning, grouping students based on ability, an individualized (private) approach, and the provision of motivation and periodic evaluation. The application of the Iqro’ method proved effective in improving students’ ability to read the Quran, as evidenced by increased reading fluency, accuracy in pronunciation (makhraj), and a basic understanding of tajwid. Supporting factors included teacher competence, parental support, and the availability of learning materials, while inhibiting factors included time constraints, differences in students’ abilities, and low motivation among some students.
