Analisis Terhadap Kasus-Kasus Siswa Yang Mengalami Kesulitan Membaca Al-Qur’an Pada Salah Satu Sekolah Menengah Di Kota Bandung

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to analyze cases of students experiencing difficulties in reading the Qur'an at a secondary school in Bandung City, identify the contributing factors, and explain the efforts of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teacher in overcoming them. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through interviews with the PAI teacher and Grade X students, questionnaires distributed to 15 students, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results show that some students still experience difficulties in reading the Qur'an, which appear in three main aspects: (1) lack of fluency (reading haltingly and hesitating on long verses), (2) difficulty in articulating makharijul huruf (points of articulation of similar-sounding letters), and (3) inconsistency in applying tajwid rules, especially mad (elongation). In addition, some students lack self-confidence when reading in front of the class. These difficulties are caused by internal factors (low motivation, lack of practice, weak mastery of basic letters and tajwid, and low self-confidence) and external factors (lack of parental guidance at home, excessive gadget use, peer influence, and limited learning methods). The teacher's efforts include initial assessment through a Qur'an reading test, grouping students into three ability levels (A: fluent, B: intermediate, C: weak), providing differentiated guidance, routine tadarus practice, motivation, collaboration with parents, and continuous evaluation.

Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kasus-kasus siswa yang mengalami kesulitan membaca Al-Qur'an pada salah satu sekolah menengah di Kota Bandung, mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor penyebabnya, serta menjelaskan upaya guru Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) dalam mengatasinya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dengan guru PAI dan siswa kelas X, penyebaran angket kepada 15 siswa, serta dokumentasi. Analisis data dilakukan melalui penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masih terdapat siswa yang mengalami kesulitan membaca Al-Qur'an pada tiga aspek utama: (1) kelancaran bacaan (masih terbata-bata dan ragu pada ayat panjang), (2) pelafalan makharijul huruf (kesulitan membedakan huruf yang bunyinya hampir sama), dan (3) penerapan hukum tajwid, khususnya mad (panjang-pendek bacaan). Selain itu, sebagian siswa kurang percaya diri ketika membaca di depan kelas. Kesulitan tersebut disebabkan oleh faktor internal (rendahnya motivasi, kurangnya latihan, lemahnya penguasaan dasar huruf dan tajwid, serta kurang percaya diri) dan faktor eksternal (kurangnya pendampingan orang tua, penggunaan gadget berlebihan, pengaruh teman sebaya, dan keterbatasan metode pembelajaran). Upaya guru meliputi asesmen awal melalui tes mengaji, pengelompokan siswa ke dalam tiga kategori kemampuan (A: lancar, B: sedang, C: kurang), bimbingan sesuai kemampuan, pembiasaan tadarus, pemberian motivasi, kerja sama dengan orang tua, dan evaluasi berkelanjutan.
