Implementation Dynamics and Evaluation of Metode Qur’ani Sidogiri in Improving Students’ Qur’anic Reading Competence

Abstract

This study is motivated by the suboptimal Qur’anic reading competence among students despite the implementation of various instructional methods in Islamic boarding schools. The study aims to analyze the implementation dynamics of the Metode Qur’ani Sidogiri (MQS) and evaluate its pedagogical system in improving students’ Qur’anic reading competence within the Islamic boarding school environment. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observations, and documentation. The data were obtained from the pengasuh, instructors, and students directly involved in MQS-based learning. The findings indicate that MQS is implemented systematically through a tripartite instructional framework: intensive learning sessions, the rigid talaqqi method, and objective periodic evaluations. This system significantly enhances students' reading fluency, accuracy of makhraj, and learning motivation. Therefore, the architectural system of MQS provides a structured and adaptive qualitative framework for enhancing Qur’anic reading competence within the traditional pesantren context.
