Pendidikan Al-Qur’an dalam Keluarga: Upaya Orang Tua Mengembangkan Kemampuan Membaca Al-Qur’an Anak Usia Dini di Sangkapura Gresik

Abstract

Qur'an education in early childhood does not only take place through religious education institutions, but also requires the involvement of the family as the first educational environment. This research is motivated by the difference in parental involvement in assisting children to read the Qur'an and the diversity of early childhood Qur'an reading skills in Sungai Topo Hamlet, Sangkapura, Gresik. This study aims to analyze parents' efforts in developing early childhood Qur'an reading skills and describe children's Qur'an reading skills based on the learning process in families and Qur'an educational institutions. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type of research. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation by involving parents, children, and TPQ teachers as research informants. The results of the study show that parents make various efforts, including the habit of reading the Qur'an, mentoring and imitating reading, providing motivation, using appropriate methods, setting learning times, and giving awards. Children's ability to read the Qur'an develops gradually and diversely, starting from the recognition of hijaiyah letters, mastery of harakat, reading Iqra', to reading the Qur'an by paying attention to the makharijul of letters, tajweed, and fluency. This study concludes that the continuity between family assistance and learning at TPQ is an important element in supporting the development of early childhood Qur'an reading skills. The results of the research are expected to be a consideration for parents and teachers in developing Qur'an education that is consistent, gradual, and in accordance with children's development.
