‘Jejak Hafalanku’: Parent And School Collaboration In Building Students' Religious Character At SD STKIP Muhammadiyah Bangka Belitung

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Jejak Hafalanku method, which is a collaborative strategy between parents and schools designed to help primary school students memorise the Qur'an. The study will also examine the impact of this method on the development of religious character. The issue is that students only memorise at school, meaning that time intended for memorisation is actually spent on re-memorising. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation of 22 students participating in the tahfidz programme. The results showed that, following the implementation of the Jejak Hafalanku method, 72.7% of students came to school ready to deposit, and the frequency of depositing increased from an average of two to four or five times per week. Parental involvement also increased, with 81.8% of parents actively monitoring and supporting their children's memorisation efforts. There were also positive impacts on students' characters, especially in terms of discipline, responsibility, consistency, and love for the Qur'an. Therefore, the Jejak Hafalanku method effectively strengthens the synergy between home and school, providing a relevant strategy for fostering a Qur'anic generation from an early age.
