Implementation Strategy of the Wafa Right-Brain Approach Method in Qur'an Learning at SDIT Az-Zahra Sragen

Abstract

Implementing the Right-Brain Method in Qur'an learning involves instructional practices that use the Talaki method and classical learning approaches. This study describes and analyzes the implementation of the Wafa Method, a right-brain approach, in Qur'an learning within the Tahfidz Class Program (TCP) at SDIT Az-Zahra Sragen. This research primarily explores how Hijaz rhythm and multisensory techniques are implemented to create an enjoyable Qur'an learning environment and address students' boredom with learning. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research method. Data collection included participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Data analysis followed the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that implementing Qur'an learning using the right-brain approach in the TCP Class at SDIT Az-Zahra Sragen consists of three stages. The first stage is motivation and brain games. At this stage, students develop strong motivation to learn, preparing them to receive learning materials better. The second stage involves the teacher demonstrating exercises from the Tilawah book or instructional posters by connecting them with students' daily activities. The practice process includes listening activities, both in the classroom as a group and individually. The third stage involves repeating the materials practiced in the second stage, which students then present to the teacher for evaluation. Through these three stages, supported by structured assessment processes, students develop Qur’an reading skills based on tajwid principles and Hijaz melody practice.
