SUPPORTING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

Muhammad Teguh Saputra

Education in this 4.0 era demands the adaptability of teachers (Supandi,

Sahrazad, Wibowo, & Widiyarto, 2020) in following the development of science

and technology, including teachers at the early childhood level (Luluk, 2012).

Therefore, research is needed that raises the themes of teacher adaptation so

that they become examples for other teachers to practice.

The Qur'an Education Park (TPA) is a basic level Quran-based educational

institution for children aged 0-12 years (Nurhadi, 2019). Judging from the

definition put forward by Anwar, the Qur'an Education Park Musholla

Darussalam (MUSDAR TPA) is included in non-formal educational institutions

Syaiful Sagala in his research (Tibahary & Muliana, 2018) on various innovative

learning models provides a definition of learning models. According to him, the

learning model is a conceptual framework that describes a systematic procedure

for teachers in achieving learning objectives. Therefore, regarding strategies,

methods, and approaches in learning, it can be said that they are part of the

learning model.

In the learning model, there are several learning theories and approaches used

by teachers to maximize students' potential in participating in learning

continuously (Saputro & Pakpahan, 2021). According to the behavioristic

learning theory, the learning process can be said to be successful if there is a

change in student behavior through habits made during learning (Pratama,

2019). According to constructivist learning theory, learning is a process of

forming knowledge by a learner, so that knowledge cannot simply be transferred

from teacher to student (Masgumelar & Mustafa, 2021). According to humanistic

learning theory, the learning process must originate in humans, meaning that

any theory can be utilized as long as it is intended to humanize humans (Siregar

& Nara, 2010).

The student-centered paradigm is a student-oriented learning paradigm

Researchers made the TPA MUSDAR learning model a topic to be researched

with the consideration that there were still few who adopted a comprehensive

TPA learning model (concerning planning, execution, and evaluation of learning),

especially learning models from time to time. Most studies focus on one part of

the learning model (only using learning methods or strategies) and one time, as

in the research conducted (Partono, Hamengkubuwono, & Fransiska, 2020) on

the example non-example model in demonstration tajwid learning in education

subjects. Islam. For this reason, this research is quite important to be appointed.

Researchers limit the problem to the learning model within the scope of the

approaches, methods, and strategies used. Observations were made by using

interviews and direct observation of activities, then analyzed based on what the

researchers observed. Mr. S the researcher chose as the interview subject

because he was the one who taught and headed the TPA Musdar for about 28

years, since the TPA Musdar was founded. He also explained that he was certified

research subject to Mr. S as a teacher, and Musdar TPA students. The researcher

also limits the problem to the learning model within the scope of the approaches,

methods, and strategies used by Mr. S as the Musdar TPA teacher.

TPA Musdar is a non-formal school based on Islamic religious knowledge whose

students are children aged 3-12 years, so the learning model used can be said to

be a fun model and can make students actively move. This TPA was founded in

1993 with the primary goal of reading and writing the Koran. Although in its

implementation, the researchers observed that there were activities outside the

primary goal, such as learning to draw and eating together.

TPA Musdar is not constrained by a strict syllabus from the government even

though it is officially registered with the nearest government agency. So that in

its development, although the learning model at the TPA refers to the TPA

syllabus from the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia (KEMENAG

RI), in practice it is widely open to continue to be innovated independently.

In its history from time to time, there have been several changes that have

occurred in learning activities at TPA Musdar. The changes in these activities, it

indicates a change in the learning model in TPA Musdar as well. Some of these

changes researchers divide and review in two periods, namely the early period

of the present period, and the period of covid-19. Learning activities in the two

periods include:

The Iqro book compiled by Ustadz As'ad Humam is a book that contains methods

for learning the letters of the Koran or the hijaiyah letters in units or in successive

ones that are used at the stage before students read the real Quran. This activity

is carried out routinely, the aim is that students get used to reading or reading

the Koran, so that in the end they can read the Quran fluently.

Every before and after carrying out various learning activities, the teacher will

start a song that also contains instructions for students to sit neatly. With these

children consider the song as a form of joy, so the instructions contained in the

song are automatically considered a joy for him as well.

That is, students are given a book or several books that are summarized, studied,

and collected by students to the teacher to assess the summary results. If it has

reached one semester, what has been learned from what has been summarized

will be useful for doing the test, because when the test is written, the questions

come from what has been summarized by the students.

relationship between students with one another, as well as between teachers

and parents. This activity is carried out once a week if it is located at the MUSDAR

TPA.

Before entering the formal school holiday, parents and teachers coordinate to

Every before and after carrying out various learning activities, the teacher will

start a song that also contains instructions for students to sit neatly. With these

songs, it is easy for the children to be conditioned by the teacher. Because the

children consider the song as a form of joy, so the instructions contained in the

song are automatically considered a joy for him as well.

Islamic religious knowledge rather than being too entangled in administrative

matters.

The absence of eating together was due to the busyness of the students because

it was considered that there was no time to do so, the meal together was

Activities at the TPA Musdar during the covid-19 period were limited in activities,

especially on things that caused students to gather outside the TPA such as

traveling. In addition, for the sake of health and government regulations,

learning activities are implemented following health protocols, namely by

requiring the use of masks.
