Pendampingan pengajaran Metode Iqro’ untuk guru-guru di TPA Hayatinnur Tambun Selatan Bekasi

The Iqra method is one of the methods in teaching the Qur'an. This method uses the Iqra book, consisting of 6 levels or volumes. Each volume has its difficulties, from volume 1 being the easiest to volume 6 being the most difficult. Many Al-Qur’an Education Parks (TPA) use this method, but in reality, TPA teachers still do not fully understand this Iqra teaching method. Therefore, this PKM aims to identify and improve the quality standards of teaching reading Al-Qur’an using the Iqra method through mentoring activities. Partners in this service come from all teachers and guardians of students at TPA Hayatinnur. This service was held on February 15-16, 2021, at the Hayatinnur TPA hall, attended by four teachers and 24 student guardians divided into two shifts. The method used in this implementation is a direct demonstration or training on the Iqra Method Teaching technique, Class Management, and Classical Iqra Teaching & Problem Solving.

Analyzing the Impact on Teacher Preparedness as a Result of Using Mursion as a Risk-free Microteaching Experience for Pre-service Teachers

Risk-free micro-teaching affords an opportunity for pre-service teachers (PTs) to practice teaching and student engagement techniques outside of a traditional classroom setting. More time to practice teaching is often an expressed desire of PTs. Orchestrating time to practice teaching techniques learned in pedagogy courses is a difficult undertaking for teacher educators, especially while trying to ensure low-risk or risk-free experiences. As explained through this study, the implementation of a Mursion simulation to offer risk-free micro-teaching experiences for PTs served as a valuable addition to an introductory teaching course. The Mursion experience enhanced PTs’ personal preparation for teaching as well as enhancing their professionalism and lesson quality.
