Student’s and Instructor’s Perception toward the Effectiveness of E-BBQ Enhances Al-Qur’an Reading Ability

Abstract

The implementation of Al-Qur'an Reading Guidance (Belajar Baca Qur'an/BBQa word in the Indonesian language) program using traditional methods is considered not effective in terms of management, and lagging behind in terms of technology utilization. This has led to the development of a Learning Management System (LMS), specifically for Al-Qur'an learning, namely-BBQ. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of e-BBQ in improving the ability to read the Qur'an and the extent of e-BBQ acceptance by students and instructors in the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) 3. This study used a nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design by comparing two groups with and without e-BBQ, accompanied by interviews at the end of the study. The results showed that even though Al-Qur'an reading ability in both groups increased significantly, the increase in the e-BBQ group was higher than the group without e-BBQ. Student's and instructor's perceptions of e-BBQ showed that e-BBQ was considered easy and useful. In conclusion, e-BBQ is capable of enhancing students' Al-Qur'an reading ability. The usefulness and ease of use perceived by students became the main factors in this LMS acceptance, and helped them to improve their Al-Qur'an reading ability.

Sustainable Development: Learning the Quran Using the Tartil Method

“…Therefore, it is assumed that the tartil method helps students to be able to read the Quran faster. This finding is consistent with that of the research by Arifin (2015), Hanafi et al (2019), Hasna (2019)and Ruslandi ( 2019), which states that instructional process is not inseparable from the role of the teacher and the method used, and mutual assistance between students in the course of the instructional process. All of those processes described by Noor can actually be found in the tartil method.…”

Online Learning in the Quran Reading Class during Covid-19 Pandemic

“…Surprisingly, 25% and 3% of students perceived a moderate and a significant increase, respectively, in comfort level during the online class. Previous research supports the finding (Hanafi et al, 2019), stating that Quran lessons in online format can enhance students' comfort because the environment is less intimidating than the traditional classroom, for students who are reserved and afraid of direct and open feedback from either the instructor or their classmates. When asked about the quality of their learning experience, more students perceived that the experience improved when the class performed in the online setting, compared to the traditional classroom learning.…”

“…There are some limitations to this study. The initial student performance (grade) in the face-to-face class and the online class were not at the same level and could cause bias in the results (Hanafi et al, 2019). The research also had insufficient data for students with an initial performance at a grade below 40; thus, the performance of students with very limited Quran-reading skills was not known.…”

Designing a spirituality-based Islamic education framework for young muslim generations: a case study from two Indonesian universities

“…Starting from this, the subject study's substance includes God, humans, morals, science and technology, harmony between religions, society, culture, politics, and law (Rambu-Rambu Kelompok Mata Kuliah Pengembangan Kepribadian Signs of Implementation of Personality Development Courses in Higher Education No.43, 2006). Islamic education learning more generally uses astudent approach as an educational subject in activities in the form of lectures and dialogues or teacher-centred (Hanafi, Murtadho, Hassan, Ikhsan, & Diyana, 2020 ;Hanafi, Murtadho, Ikhsan, Diyana, & Sultoni, 2019). All universities have 2-hour slots per week for core class-based learning (Zuhdi, 2018).…”
