Use of Physical Feedback in Qur’anic Teaching by Teachers in School

Abstract

It is mandatory for every Muslim to read the Qur'an accurately and with tajwid. Still, a large number of Muslims struggle with accurate Qur'anic reading. The Haraki Method, a brand-new approach to teaching the Qur'an, was unveiled in 2013. One of the distinctive features of the Haraki Method's Qur'anic education is its application of Total Physical Response (TPR). Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the teachers' perceptions on the use of Total Physical Response (TPR) in the Qur'anic teaching and learning. This study's design employs a qualitative methodology. The study sample consisted of six Al-Quran teachers possessing prior experience using the Haraki method. Students who struggled with issues like misreading hijaiyah letters, having trouble telling prolongations apart, and having trouble reading vowels during Qur'anic recitation were requested to learn the Al-Qur'an from the sample study. Questionnaires and interviews are the methods utilized to gather research data. Study results indicate that incorporating Total Physical Response (TPR) into the Haraki Method's instruction can pique students' attention, keep them motivated, and help them quickly grasp the information being taught. Teachers can easily monitor student accomplishment levels while ensuring that students are attentive throughout the class by using the Total Physical Response (TPR) technique. The results of this study provide evidence that Total Physical Response (TPR) can be effectively used to teach Quran recitation in addition to foreign languages. The Haraki Method is one of the alternate approaches that Qur’anic teachers might employ to teach students who struggle with Qur'anic.
