APPLICATION OF ADAPTIVE LEARNING TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF READING AND MEMORIZATION OF THE QUR'AN AT SMP TAFIHZHUL QUR'AN

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of the quality of Qur'anic recitation and memorization among students at SMP Tahfizhul Qur'an, particularly in facing diverse learning challenges. Although educational technology is increasingly recognized for its benefits in supporting the Qur'an memorization process, there is a research gap regarding the most effective methods, especially those that consider individual differences among students. This study aims to identify and test adaptive learning methods supported by technology to improve the quality of students' recitation and memorization. The research employs a descriptive case study with a qualitative approach, involving direct observation, in-depth interviews, and data analysis using Atlas.ti version 9 software. The results show that the adaptive approach, tailored to the individual abilities and needs of students, is more effective than traditional teaching methods. This study significantly impacts the practice of tahfizh education by informing more responsive educational practices that cater to individual student differences, while also offering a more inclusive and technology-based teaching model.
