Enhancing Al-Quran Reading Skills in Islamic Education at An-Nikmah Al-Islamiyah Institute Phnom Penh Cambodia

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of innovative teaching methodologies for enhancing Al-Quran reading skills at An-Nikmah Al-Islamiyah Institute in Cambodia.  The case study method includes qualitative assessments, evaluating the impact of tailored instructional strategies, interactive learning sessions, and individualized feedback.  The assessments focused on key aspects of Quranic recitation, such as pronunciation accuracy, fluency, and adherence to Tajwid rules. Additionally, feedback surveys were administered to both students and teachers to evaluate the effectiveness and practicality of the instructional strategies. These surveys aimed to identify strengths, areas for improvement, and overall satisfaction with the teaching methods.  By focusing on these traditional teaching methods, the project preserves and promotes cultural authenticity while ensuring high levels of student engagement and long-term retention of Quranic skills. Additionally, the program encourages leadership development among proficient students by involving them in peer mentoring roles, fostering a collaborative and supportive learning environment. The anticipated outcomes include not only enhanced Quranic literacy among all students but also the establishment of sustainable practices that can be continued by local educators, thereby ensuring the lasting impact of the project on the institute and the wider community.
