Application of Qur'an Education Methods in Increasing Understanding of the Qur'an in Early Childhood

Abstract

The application of effective Qur'anic education methods is very important to increase children's understanding of the contents of the Qur'an, educational methods that are easy for children to understand will make the educational process more enjoyable so that the knowledge gained will be absorbed directly by children. but the phenomenon that occurs today is that there are still many who are not fluent in reading the Qur'an and many are already fluent in reading the Qur'an but they only read it, they do not understand the content of the content verse by verse that has been read. This is because a person initially learns the Qur'an in an inappropriate way. This study aims to increase knowledge for teachers and parents on how to apply Qur'an education that is effective and can be easily understood among early childhood. This research uses a qualitative type of approach, this approach has a descriptive nature and is more likely to use critical analysis. The data collection method is carried out by observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this study show that RA. Labschool IIQ Jakarta has used several methods in implementing Qur'an education for early childhood including: Baghdadiyyah method, Abjadi method to train children to read and recognize hijaiyyah letter by letter, talaqqi method to maintain the quality of student reading, lecture or story method to know and understand the content in a surah in the Qur'an and the last is a habituation method such as doing murojaah together in the morning.
