Abstract

This study aims to analyze the internal and external factors that cause difficulties in
learning to read and write the Qur'an (BTQ), as well as knowing the efforts made to
overcome the problems of learning to read and write the Qur'an (BTQ) at TPQ Al-Ikhlas
Ngoro Mojokerto. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, this study explores
the experiences of students, teachers, and parents of the obstacles that occur in the
learning process. Data collection used in the form of observation, documentation and
interviews with teachers, students and parents. The results showed that internal factors,
namely (1) the uneven ability of students, (2) low learning motivation, (3) weak
discipline, (4) limited teacher competence in methodology greatly affects the
effectiveness of learning, (5) lack of media and learning aids. While external factors
include (1) lack of parental support, (2) unsupportive social environment, (3) limited
facilities and infrastructure, (4) no structured curriculum. To overcome these various
obstacles, TPQ Al-Ikhlas has made various efforts such as involving parents in the
learning process, (1) improving infrastructure, (2) compiling a more systematic
curriculum, (3) developing more interactive learning methods. This research is expected
to be a reference for other Islamic educational institutions in improving the quality of
BTQ learning.
