Upaya Guru Meningkatkan Kemampuan Membaca Al-Qur’an di TPQ Jannatul Awlaad Metode Tilawati Probolinggo

Abstract

The ability to read the Qur’an correctly is a basic skill for every Muslim. However, many students, including those in TPQ, still have difficulties reading according to tajwid rules. This study aims to explain the teachers’ efforts to improve students’ Qur’an reading skills and to describe how the Tilawati method is applied at TPQ Jannatul Awlaad Dringu, Probolinggo.This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and the TPQ principal, and documents such as learning notes and assessment results. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that teachers play an important role as educators, guides, motivators, facilitators, and evaluators. The Tilawati method is applied through classical learning, individual reading check-ins, the use of the rost rhythm, muroja’ah practice, and gradual evaluations based on levels (jilid). Although there are challenges such as differences in students’ abilities, limited time, and a lack of parental support the teachers address them by grouping students, repeating materials, communicating actively with parents, and giving rewards.
