Abstract

The Sahla Method, implemented since 2020, plays a crucial role in building a generation of Qur’anic memorizers who are not only strong in memorization but also excel in recitation and application, following the correct pronunciation (makharij al-huruf) and tajwid rules. The memorization process is carried out with a tahsin class system, the use of bayati tones, as well as a memorization system for page numbers and verse positions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Sahla Method in memorizing the Qur'an at the Al-Imam Tiru Kidul Modern Tahfidz Pond, Gurah, Kediri. The research method used is descriptive research with a qualitative approach, involving interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that the application of the Sahla Method significantly improves the quality of reading and memorization of students, with many students successfully participating in and winning various Tahfidz competitions. The method ensures high-quality memorization, including the ability to recall page numbers, verse numbers, positions, and verse comprehension, in an enjoyable manner. This research is based on the Al-Imam Modern Tahfidz Boarding School, which educates students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The study was conducted in response to the increasing interest of parents in enrolling their children in this boarding school.

Abstract

The Javanese language, particularly Krama Inggil, plays a crucial role in the formation of cultural identity and polite behavior among Javanese communities. This study aims to enhance the courtesy character of fourth-grade students at MI Da'watul Khoir Kedungringin Drenges Kertosono through the habituation of the Javanese Krama Inggil language. A qualitative research method was employed, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation for data collection. The results indicate that the habituation process, including regular use of Krama Inggil in communication, wearing traditional surja clothing, and integration of local language content into the curriculum, significantly contributes to the development of courteous behavior. Supporting factors include active student participation, parental involvement, and the availability of adequate resources, while challenges include inconsistent language use at home and occasional lapses by teachers. The study concludes that systematic habituation of Krama Inggil fosters a respectful and courteous character among students.

Abstract

Character building of students can be achieved by habituating good behaviors in daily life. Habituation is a process of forming consistent attitudes and behaviors through repetitive learning, both individually and collectively. In the context of teaching methods in Islamic education, it can be said that "habituation is a method used to accustom students to think, behave, and act according to the teachings of Islam." This study is a qualitative field research. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The object of this research is the cultivation of Tawadhu (humility) and discipline among students at Madin Al-Hikmah, Lengkong District. The findings of this study indicate that the process of cultivating Tawadhu and discipline at Madin Al-Hikmah is implemented as long as the students are enrolled at the institution. The cultivation is carried out through habituation and the exemplary conduct of the teachers. Habituation of Tawadhu includes being humble, not arrogant, speaking politely, greeting others and shaking hands while kissing the teacher's hand, as well as respecting and obeying the teachers' instructions. Meanwhile, the habituation of discipline among students includes arriving on time, dressing neatly, participating in congregational prayers, and completing the tasks assigned by the teachers

Abstract

The objectives of this research are: (1) to examine the religious disposition of students at MA AZ-ZAIN Lengkong Nganjuk, and (2) to identify the strategies employed by Islamic education teachers in shaping the religious character of these students. This research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The research informants included Islamic education teachers, curriculum advisors, the school principal, and students. The validity of the information was verified through member checking, followed by triangulation techniques. The findings of the research indicate that: (1) The religious character of students at MA AZ-ZAIN Lengkong Nganjuk is generally underdeveloped, as religious practices such as obligatory prayers and Sunnah prayers are insufficiently observed, largely due to an unsupportive environment. Despite this, students are willing to seek improvement in their religious character and demonstrate honest behavior. (2) The strategies employed by Islamic education teachers to shape students' religious character include modeling and exemplification, guidance, direction, the formulation of practical theories, habituation, training, mentoring, and leadership.
