Abstract

Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an (TPA) is a non-formal institution with an Islamic orientation, that educates children to optimize religious learning activities. The purpose is to produce a Qur'anic generation who have a broad Islamic perspective. This paper presents a discussion about the learning process that occurs at TPA Darul Arqom, Jeruklegi Wetan, Cilacap Regency, Central Java. The focus of the study is the application of various learning methods to improve the quality of education. This research was conducted from July 28 – August 30, 2021. The research method used is a qualitative approach, in which data collection was carried out by observation (primary data) and documentation (secondary data). The collected data was analyzed using Kurt Lewin's action research model (Planning, Action, Observation, and Reflection). As a result, a systematic strategy design is needed to improve the quality of education at TPA Darul Arqom. The implementation is in the form of a variety of learning methods. As part of the evaluation of learning activities, teachers will reflect to measure the achievements of the students. Based on the reflections, researchers find that learning activities at TPA Darul Arqom still need improvement such as making a systematic curriculum, adding teaching staff, and making student achievement sheets.
