STUDENT LEARNING ENGAGEMENT OF MALAYSIAN TAHFIZ STUDENTS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY
Abstract
Abstract
Tahfiz learning is a challenging learning. It demands discipline, hard work and commitment from students. In Malaysia, tahfiz education is one of the mainstream education offered and in high demand among parents. Past studies showed that there was a problem in completing the Quranic memorization among tahfiz students. Furthermore, previous studies showed that studies on tahfiz are not focusing on the aspect of student learning engagement, so there is a need to explore such aspect. This qualitative study focused on the student learning engagement of tahfiz students. Specifically this study aimed to explore the aspects of student learning engagement of tahfiz students. Indepth interview was the method of data collection used in this study. Twelve tahfiz students and six tahfiz teachers were involved as the research participants. Data found that there are three aspects of student learning engagement, emotional, cognitive and behavior aspects. The emotional aspect comprises of the patience and interest of the tahfiz students in their learning. The cognitive aspect covers the capability of determining goals that they want to achieve, able to plan their study time and depicting their diligence and focus in learning. Meanwhile the behavior aspect of student learning engagement refers to students’ eagerness to participate in school activities that are in conform with their tahfiz learning. This study clearly implies some significant implications for tahfiz students, teachers and the school itself to focus this learning engagement among students to assist their journey on tahfiz learning. Some recommendations for future research are also presented in this study.
Keywords : student learning engagement, tahfiz education, emotional aspect, cognitive aspect, behavior aspect
KOMITMEN BELAJAR DALAM KALANGAN MURID TAHFIZ: SATU KAJIAN KUALITATIF
Abstrak
Pembelajaran tahfiz ialah pembelajaran yang mencabar. Ia menuntut disiplin, kerja keras dan komitmen daripada murid. Di Malaysia, pendidikan tahfiz ialah salah satu pendidikan arus perdana yang ditawarkan dan merupakan pendidikan yang mendapat permintaan tinggi daripada ibubapa. Kajian lepas menunjukkan bahawa terdapat masalah dalam menamatkan hafazan al-Quran dalam kalangan murid tahfiz. Di samping itu, kajian lampau turut menunjukkan bahawa kajian tentang tahfiz tidak memberi fokus kepada aspek komitmen belajar murid, oleh itu aspek ini perlu diteroka. Kajian kualitatif ini memberi fokus kepada komitmen belajar dalam kalangan murid tahfiz. Secara khususnya, kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka aspek komitmen belajar murid tahfiz. Temu bual mendalam adalah kaedah pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam kajian ini. Dua belas orang murid tahfiz beserta enam orang guru terlibat sebagai peserta kajian. Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa terdapat tiga aspek komitmen belajar murid iaitu aspek emosi, kognitif dan tingkah laku. Aspek emosi meliputi kesabaran dan minat murid tahfiz dalam pembelajaran mereka. Aspek kognitif pula merangkumi kemampuan murid menentukan matlamat yang ingin dicapai, kemampuan merancang masa belajar dan ketekunan serta fokus dalam pembelajaran. Sementara itu, aspek tingkah laku pula merujuk kepada kecenderungan murid mengambil bahgaian dalam aktiviti sekolah yang menyokong pembelajaran tahfiz mereka. Kajian ini secara jelas mengemukakan implikasi penting kepada murid, guru dan sekolah tahfiz itu sendiri untuk memberi perhatian kepada aspek komitmen belajar bagi membantu perjalanan pembelajaran tahfiz mereka. Beberapa saranan untuk kajian pada masa akan datang turut dikemukakan dalam kajian ini.
