Pengabdian Mahasiswa PKL dalam Optimalisasi Pembinaan Santri TPQ Nurul Huda Melalui Peningkatan Kompetensi dan Aktivitas Keagamaan di Desa Riam Mengelai

Abstract

The community service program conducted by students during the Field Work Practice (PKL) at TPQ Nurul Huda, Riam Mengelai Village, is implemented as a tangible contribution to student guidance, focusing on enhancing religious competence, discipline, and worship skills. This program was motivated by the need to improve the quality of religious education systematically and according to the skill level of each student, making learning more effective and targeted. The objective of this service is to optimize student guidance by improving Quran reading skills, daily prayer memorization, moral development, and active participation in religious activities according to each class’s ability. The implementation method includes initial observation, planning a guidance program based on skill levels, direct teaching and learning, individual and group mentoring, and periodic evaluation. Students are divided into four classes according to their ability: Class 1 for students at IQRA’ levels 1 and 2, Class 2 for IQRA’ 3 and 4, Class 3 for IQRA’ 5 and 6, and Class 4 for students who can read the Quran fluently. Each class receives materials tailored to their level, ranging from introduction to Arabic letters, Quran reading, daily prayer memorization, to moral development and worship practices. This class-based guidance approach allows PKL students to provide focused attention, ensuring optimal learning outcomes. The results show significant improvements in students’ discipline, learning motivation, Quran reading skills, prayer memorization, and moral understanding. Class-based guidance according to skill levels provides each child with an appropriate learning experience, enabling maximal development. PKL students gain practical experience in early childhood religious education, lesson development, and classroom management. This program is expected to serve as a systematic, effective, and sustainable model for student guidance at TPQ Nurul Huda.
