Assistance In Developing Simple Formulas In Learning To Write Connected Hijaiyah Letters At Tpq Maul Jadid Widoropayung, Besuki

Abstract

Various efforts to ease the learning process for students are an absolute obligation for every teacher, especially when dealing with students who are still in the development phase, particularly in the process of learning to write Arabic letters. This effort aims to improve the skills of writing connected Hijaiyah letters at TPQ Maul Jadid Widoropayung, Besuki, through the development of a simple formula-based learning media. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which involves facilitators, teachers, and students actively. The developed media is a simple formula table containing the classification of Hijaiyah letter shapes based on their position (beginning, middle, and end) to simplify the letter connection process. The activities were conducted over 14 meetings in a period of three months. Evaluation results show an improvement in the ability to write connected letters in most students, with 42.3% of students achieving a satisfactory category and 30.8% in the good category. The simple formula media proved effective in helping students understand the concept of the changes in the shapes of Hijaiyah letters more systematically and increasing their interest and engagement in learning. This model of guidance is recommended for replication in similar educational institutions to strengthen Quranic literacy from an early age.
