Qira'at Code Application: an Innovative Android-Based Media for Learning Qira'at al-Qur'an in Pesantren

Abstract

Learning Qira'at al-Qur'an, particularly qira'at sab'ah, poses challenges for students at Ma'had Aly due to language barriers and low motivation. While some pesantren offer qira'at programs, only 5% of students participate, and the complexity of Arabic-based qira'at references further hinders progress. This research aims to develop a prototype of the Qira'at Code application to enhance students' interest and proficiency in qira'at sab'ah. The method used in this research is Research and Development (RnD) which aims to develop Qira'at Code Application as a learning media for qira'at in Pesantren. The research is conducted in five stages. The five stages are analyze, design, develop, implement, evaluate. The innovation lies in combining the complete 30 juz with qira'at sab'ah formulae, presented through interactive features such as Ayat, Surat, Juz, Same Verses, and Qur'an Code menus. Post-test results show significant improvement, with average qira'at scores increasing to 82-86. The application received validation scores of 83.47 from application experts and 82.62 from material experts, resulting in an overall feasibility score of 81.24%. These results indicate that the Qira'at Code application is an effective and feasible tool for enhancing qira'at learning and memorization.
