All this stems from education, as education is the creator of human civilization. Education is a crucial foundation for preparing future generations who will strive for religion and the nation. (Hasyim, 2014, p. By receiving appropriate education, the next generation will gain meaningful knowledge. QurAoanic education plays a vital role in shaping strong character and preparing excellent Muslim cadres for the future. With the rapid changes of the times, education has also undergone certain shifts. 2 These changes are especially evident in children's TodayAos youth and children face serious challenges. According to a survey conducted by the author, the fast-paced advancement of technology has, in fact, made young people and children more prone to addiction and more defiant toward their As times continue to progress, the character of the nationAos children is increasingly deteriorating. It is undeniable that rapid technological advancement has affected the character of the younger In todayAos modern era, it is rare to find students who do not use gadgets. Gadgets have become essential items for students. It is often found that many children under the age of five already carry gadgets. However, smartphones or gadgets contain a wide range of content and features that are inappropriate for students, especially through applications like TikTok and YouTube. The growing number of such apps and the lack of parental supervision have created serious risks for children, particularly those underage. Parents should serve as the primary supervisors when their children use smartphones or gadgets. Typically, children who use gadgets without parental monitoring are more prone to addiction compared to those who are supervised by their Based on this primary issue, the writer created an innovation to address the decline in children's character. One such effort is a method developed by the writer named PROVASTO. A method is a crucial Moh. Sholeh Hamid. Pd. Metode edutainment. Cet. November 2011. Penerbit Diva Press. Moh. Sholeh Hamid. Pd.

Ae Lia Nurrohmania. , et al. element in any learning process, especially in achieving learning PROVASTO stands for Prophetic Value of Al-QurAoan Stories, which represents an implementation of QurAoanic education through the prophetic values found in QurAoanic stories. The QurAoan is the guide for every Muslim, and thus, the writer uses the QurAoan as the primary source in developing this method. This method was designed to improve the quality of children's character. The decline in students' character is not only due to technological advancements but also the lack of understanding among students regarding the QurAoan, as well as the limited comprehension of its content by parents. In fact, this method has already been applied by the writer in a public elementary school in their hometown of Tulungagung. A method is essential for achieving educational goals. Therefore, the writer attempted to create a method to help address these At the location where the method was applied, the writer observed that many children still lack religious understanding. Many are vulnerable in their beliefs . , especially in a school environment where many teachers are non-Muslims. The background of children who generally have a limited understanding of the importance of religious education, combined with an unsupportive school environment, becomes a significant challenge in the education process. In fact, one of the most important aspects of children's education is their religious belief . Thus, the researcher chose this issue as the focus of the study because it is crucial to be resolved. The importance of character education in children, and the lack of knowledge among children and their parents about the QurAoan, are the main factors behind this In recent years, many education activists have expressed concern about the decline in children's character, particularly among students and teenagers. Within the past year, news surfaced with a sixthgrade girl from a public elementary school in Jakarta who committed This incident drew the attention of educators across West Java It raised questions about how teachers could overlook such critical signs. Various surveys and studies have shown that values such as honesty, responsibility, and social awareness are being increasingly marginalized amidst the flood of information and an increasingly individualistic lifestyle. DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Edukasi. Volume 13. Nomor 02, 2025: 252-284 Method In this study, the researcher used a type of Research and Development (RnD) approach with a descriptive research method, focusing the discussion on a specific method namely, the Provasto method as the main object of the research. The term Provasto stands for Prophetic Value of Al-QurAoan Stories, which is part of the implementation of QurAoanic education through the prophetic values embedded in the stories of the QurAoan. According to Sugiyono . , a descriptive approach is a formulation of problems related to questions about the existence of independent variables, whether consisting of one or more variables . ariables that stand alon. In conducting the research, data was obtained from selected informants using purposive sampling to carry out in-depth interviews. In relation to this method, the researcher conducted interviews with several ustadz and ustadzah (Islamic teacher. at a public elementary school in Tulungagung. Regarding the classification of informants, the researcher served as the key informant, while the ustadz and ustadzah at the public school were categorized as supporting informants. compiling the study, the researcher employed research procedures in the form of interviews as a supporting factor in the formation and development of the method. Result and Discussion Character Education Based on Islamic Values in the QurAoan Character education is one of the essential aspects of education, aimed at shaping students' personalities and morals. In Islam, character education has a strong foundation, as moral and ethical values are clearly outlined in the QurAoan. These values serve as a guide for Muslims to live a good and noble life. Therefore, character education based on Islamic values in the QurAoan is a necessity in forming a generation with integrity and behavior in line with Islamic teachings. The QurAoan teaches various character values that must be applied in daily life, such as honesty, patience, discipline, responsibility, and compassion for others. For example, in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 177, it is explained that righteousness is not only about performing worship rituals, but also includes being honest, keeping promises, and showing patience in adversity. These values are highly relevant in building students' character to possess integrity, a strong sense of responsibility, and social awareness. The implementation of character education based on Islamic values in the QurAoan can be carried out through various methods, such DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Development of the Provasto Method as a Strategy. Ae Lia Nurrohmania. , et al. as habitual practice of good behavior, exemplary-based learning, and the integration of QurAoanic values into school subjects. Teachers and parents play a crucial role in teaching and instilling these values in By nurturing honesty, discipline, and good morals in daily life, students will more easily understand and apply Islamic values in their own lives. Additionally. QurAoan-based character education can be further developed through extracurricular activities that strengthen moral Activities such as QurAoan memorization . Islamic studies, and correct worship practices help students gain a deeper understanding of Islamic values. When QurAoanic values are not only taught theoretically but also practiced in real life, students are more likely to adopt them as part of their habits and personality. Thus, character education based on Islamic values in the QurAoan is not just a concept but must become an integral part of the educational system implemented holistically. Through a systematic and consistent approach, the younger generation can grow into individuals with noble character, firmly holding to Islamic values, and capable of facing lifeAos challenges with wisdom and a strong sense of responsibility. The Principles of Character Formation Through QurAoan Memorization Character formation is one of the main goals of education, especially in the context of Islamic education. One of the methods that can be used to build Islamic character in students is through QurAoan Memorizing the QurAoan not only serves as a form of worship and spiritual strengthening but also plays a major role in shaping a person's personality. By memorizing and understanding the QurAoan, students can internalize the Islamic values contained within, allowing their character to be naturally formed based on the teachings of the QurAoan. One of the key principles in character formation through QurAoan memorization is discipline. The process of memorizing the QurAoan requires perseverance, consistency, and continuous practice. Students must develop the habit of memorizing daily, regularly reviewing their memorization, and following a predetermined schedule. This discipline not only helps in retaining the memorized verses but also trains students to apply discipline in other areas of life, such as studying, working, and carrying out responsibilities diligently. In addition to discipline, the principle of patience is another character value formed through QurAoan memorization. Memorizing QurAoanic verses is not easy and requires significant time and effort. DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Edukasi. Volume 13. Nomor 02, 2025: 252-284 Students must overcome challenges such as difficulties in remembering verses, dealing with laziness, and facing boredom during repetition. continuing to try and not giving up easily, students learn to become patient individuals who are resilient in facing various life obstacles. Another important principle is honesty and responsibility. memorizing the QurAoan, students are required to be honest with themselves and others in assessing their memorization progress. If there are mistakes, they must be willing to correct them and strive to improve the quality of their memorization. Moreover, being responsible for maintaining the fluency of their memorization is a vital aspect of character development. Understanding that their memorization is a trust . to be preserved helps students cultivate a strong sense of responsibility in various areas of life. Thus, character formation through QurAoan memorization is not merely about memorizing sacred verses, but also a profound learning process that builds discipline, patience, honesty, and responsibility. When carried out using the right method. QurAoan memorization can become an effective strategy in forming a generation that is not only academically intelligent but also possesses noble character in accordance with Islamic values. The provasto Method The Provasto method is an approach developed by the author in response to the increasingly declining level of student character. The deterioration of student character is an issue that must be immediately addressed by both the government and educators. The decline in the character of the younger generation is no longer unfamiliar to us. In the educational process, character education serves as a crucial pillar for achieving success. Poor character reflects the quality of education in a Unfortunately, some schools especially public schools pay less attention to studentsAo character development, leading to cases such as brawls, bullying, sexual assault, and more. The author has attempted to create the Provasto method as a form of solution to these problems. Provasto, which stands for Prophetic Value of Al-QurAoan Stories, is part of the implementation of QurAoanic education containing prophetic values found within stories of the QurAoan. The QurAoan was revealed over a span of 23 years as a trust assigned to Muslims to be practiced in this worldly life to attain eternal happiness in the hereafter. Islamic teachings, based on the QurAoan, are considered the most truthful and perfect form of guidance. Everything concerning worldly and afterlife matters has been included in the QurAoan, including the process of the universeAos creation. The QurAoanic teachings not only DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Development of the Provasto Method as a Strategy. Ae Lia Nurrohmania. , et al. confirm previous scriptures but also complete them. The contents of the QurAoan include the following themes: Aqidah and Tawheed (Faith and Monotheis. The first content of the QurAoan is about faith. Etymologically, aqidah means belief or conviction. The plural form is aqaAoid. Aqidah is also referred to as iman . Worship (Ibada. Another theme is worship. Ibadah comes from the root Aoabada-yaAobudu-Aoibadah, which means to serve or Worship refers to fully submitting and showing devotion to Allah SWT through obedience and humility. Morals (Akhla. Akhlaq means character, behavior, disposition, or manners. Terminologically, it refers to a quality rooted in the soul that manifests spontaneously in daily actions. The Prophet Muhammad . eace "Indeed. I was sent to perfect noble character. " (HR. Ahma. Law (Ahka. In Islam, law is one of the main themes of the QurAoan, consisting of rules and fundamental guidelines for These are intended to provide guidance so that life becomes fair, secure, peaceful, prosperous, and happy in this world and the hereafter. Historical Narratives of Past Nations, the stories in the QurAoan are not mere tales or legends but are meant to be lessons . for the Muslim community. In Surah Yusuf . :111, it is stated: AuIndeed in their stories, there is a lesson for those of understanding. It is not a narration invented, but a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of all things and guidance and mercy for a people who believe. Ay Foundations of Science and Technology, the final major theme of the QurAoan includes science and technology. Many verses indicate scientific and technological knowledge that can be developed for the betterment and welfare of humanity. QurAoan Memorization in Character Development Memorizing the QurAoan is not solely aimed at mastering the text This activity holds a deeper dimensionAiit serves to instill spiritual values in children from an early age. Beyond the ability to recall verses, the process of QurAoan memorization demands patience and Children are required to repeat verses continuously, maintain consistency, and practice discipline in their daily routines. Moreover, memorizing the QurAoan fosters a strong sense of personal Children learn to be accountable for their DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Edukasi. Volume 13. Nomor 02, 2025: 252-284 memorizationAiboth in preserving the accuracy of their recitation and correcting any mistakes. Children who are accustomed to memorization activities tend to develop better self-control. They are more persistent in facing learning challenges and less likely to give up in the process of achieving their memorization goals. Furthermore, the values within the QurAoan that they memorize will naturally shape their way of thinking and behavior in daily life. In this way. QurAoan memorization becomes an effective medium for shaping the character and morality of students. Memorizing the QurAoan is one of the most noble forms of worship in Islam. It is not only an expression of love for the Holy Book but also a means of preserving divine revelation across generations. The QurAoan and the hadiths of Prophet Muhammad . eace be upon hi. provide strong encouragement and motivation for Muslims to learn and memorize it. This practice not only fosters a deep spiritual connection between a servant and their Lord but also cultivates individuals with noble character and strong qualities. One of the key pieces of evidence that shows the ease granted by Allah SWT in memorizing the QurAoan is found in Surah Al-Qamar, verse 17: AuAnd We have certainly made the QurAoan easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?Ay This verse indicates that Allah Himself has facilitated the learning, understanding, and memorization of the QurAoan for humanity. This ease is universal and applies to anyone who sincerely strives. Thus, memorizing the QurAoan is not something limited to a select few, but rather an open opportunity for all Muslims. In Surah Al-Hijr, verse 9. Allah SWT also states: AuIndeed, it is We who sent down the QurAoan and indeed. We will be its Ay This verse affirms that the protection of the QurAoan is AllahAos One tangible form of this preservation is through QurAoan memorizers . spread across the globe. In other words, by memorizing the QurAoan, one not only earns personal honor but also participates in the noble duty of safeguarding AllahAos revelation. The virtues of memorizing the QurAoan are also emphasized in many hadiths of the Prophet . eace be upon hi. One of them, narrated by Bukhari, states: DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Development of the Provasto Method as a Strategy. Ae Lia Nurrohmania. , et al. AuThe best among you are those who learn the QurAoan and teach it. Ay This hadith places QurAoan memorizers and teachers in the highest ranks among the Muslim community. The activity of memorization is not merely verbal repetition, but also a form of education and daAowah . piritual outreac. , capable of touching hearts and improving Another virtue is explained in a hadith narrated by Tirmidhi: AuWhoever recites the QurAoan, learns it, and acts upon it, will be given a crown of light on the Day of Judgment, to be worn by his parentsAAy This hadith provides strong motivation, especially in the context of family and child education. Memorizing the QurAoan is not only for personal benefit, but also a form of filial piety toward oneAos parents. The reward of a crown of light represents the extraordinary honor Allah has prepared for the families of QurAoan memorizers. On the other hand, the Prophet . eace be upon hi. also warned about the importance of having some portion of the QurAoan memorized in the heart. In a hadith narrated by Abu Dawud, he said: AuIndeed, the one who has nothing of the QurAoan in his heart is like a ruined Ay This analogy illustrates that a heart devoid of QurAoanic content lacks light and direction. Memorizing even a portion of the QurAoan is better than none, as each memorized verse is a guiding light in life. conclusion, memorizing the QurAoan is not merely an intellectual activity, but a form of worship and deep spiritual effort. The QurAoanic verses and hadiths show that Allah has made the path easy for anyone who seeks to draw closer to Him through QurAoan memorization. addition to worldly benefits such as intelligence and discipline, this practice promises honor in the Hereafter for both the individual and their family. Therefore, it is essential for Muslims to cultivate and prioritize QurAoanic education, particularly memorization, from an early The Relevance of the Provasto Method to SDN 1 Kepatihan In relation to this method at SDN 1 Kepatihan, it is implemented in a special tahfidz (QurAoan memorizatio. The tahfidz sessions at SDN 1 Kepatihan are additional compulsory hours for students, addressing the issue of studentsAo limited understanding of QurAoanic The topic of QurAoanic education in public elementary schools has become widely discussed. This is because QurAoanic DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Edukasi. Volume 13. Nomor 02, 2025: 252-284 education is typically found in private Islamic schools. However, with the initiative of several Islamic Education (PAI) teachers and QurAoan instructors . stadz and ustadza. , a special tahfidz session has been introduced in public elementary schools as a form of daAowah . eligious outreac. for the next generation. Since the community tends to prefer public schools for their childrenAos education, it raises the question of how these children can still receive proper QurAoanic education despite financial limitations. truth, many private Islamic schools do not charge excessive tuition fees. However, due to the low average household income in the Tulungagung Regency, many families choose to send their children to public elementary schools instead. Currently, most public elementary schools in Tulungagung Regency are already required to offer tahfidz sessions. This initiative is expected to enhance studentsAo understanding of religion and raise public awareness of the importance of religious education. The Provasto Method is a method created by the author in response to the ongoing decline in student character. The deterioration of student character is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed by both the government and educators alike. The moral decline of todayAos youth is no longer surprising. In the educational process, character education is a cornerstone of success. Poor character reflects the quality of a nationAos education system. Unfortunately, some schools particularly public ones pay less attention to character development, which leads to issues such as student brawls, bullying, sexual harassment, and more. The author developed the Provasto Method as a form of solution to this problem. Provasto stands for Prophetic Value of Al-QurAoan Stories, which is a part of QurAoanic education that incorporates the prophetic values found in QurAoanic narratives. As a primary education institution. SDN 1 Kepatihan holds a significant responsibility in shaping both the academic skills and character of students from an early age. Its location within a specific social and cultural context means that the educational approach taken at this school must align with the local values embraced by the surrounding community.

Ae Lia Nurrohmania. , et al. and maintaining them properly. This sense of responsibility helps students appreciate their tasks, both in academic contexts and in their social environments. Another developing aspect is self-confidence. As students increase the number of verses they memorize, they gain more confidence in reading and reciting the QurAoan. This self-confidence not only applies to religious matters but also positively influences their social Being able to recite verses fluently in front of others helps them become more courageous and expressive. Thus, the Provasto Method not only enhances the quality of QurAoan memorization but also contributes to the development of student character.

Its implementation at SDN 1 Kepatihan aims to overcome several obstacles in tahfidz learning, such as lack of motivation, difficulties in retention, and the absence of a structured method for building stronger memorization skills. One of the indicators of the effectiveness of the Provasto Method is students' ability to memorize faster and more fluently compared to conventional methods. Through specific techniques, students are trained to recognize memorization patterns, establish connections between verses, and review their memorization regularly. These strategies help make memorization easier and less burdensome, making the learning process more enjoyable and effective.

MurajaAoah . ystematic and gradual revisio. is a key feature of this method, ensuring that memorized verses remain in long-term memory. As a result, students develop stronger and more lasting memorization. The effectiveness of the method can also be seen in the increased motivation of students.

Another advantage of the Provasto Method is its alignment with studentsAo learning styles. Each student has different preferencessome memorize better through auditory learning, others through visual aids, and some through kinesthetic activities. The Provasto Method is designed to be adaptable to these learning styles, allowing students to memorize in the most comfortable and effective way for them.

From the perspective of educational psychology, some children prefer the lecture model, while others prefer discussion-based learning or simply These preferences are influenced by their individual learning Each child, with their unique traits, has a distinct way of learning that reflects their personality. The Provasto method primarily uses three learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Based on existing surveys, about 40% of students are visual learners, 34% are auditory learners, and 26% are kinesthetic learners. From this data, it becomes clear that one of the limitations of the Provasto method lies in the lack of full compatibility between students' learning styles and the methodAos approach. The Development of the Provasto Method in Enhancing Students' Character at SDN 1 Kepatihan The term development, according to Hedyat Soetopo and Wasty Soemanto . , refers to an activity aimed at producing a new tool or method, during which continuous evaluation and refinement are carried out. Once the tool or method has undergone sufficient Suyadi. Psikologi Belajar Anak Usia Dini. Yogayakarta: Pedagogia. Cetakan I. DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi.

Winarno Surachmad . states that development activities consist of formulation, implementation, evaluation, and refinement. In general, a method is a systematic way or set of steps used to achieve a particular objective. In the context of research and education, a method refers to the techniques or procedures applied to collect, analyze, and interpret data or information to obtain valid and accurate In education, a method is a strategy or approach used to deliver material to students so that they can better understand and master the concepts being taught. In the implementation of the Provasto method, a lack of interest among students in memorizing the QurAoan becomes a significant factor influencing its success. Many students tend to neglect QurAoanic memorization due to insufficient support from their parents. Yet, if examined more deeply, memorizing the QurAoan is incredibly important. During prayer, for instance, after reciting Surah Al-Fatihah, we typically recite short surahs from the QurAoan. In this regard, it is essential to further develop the Provasto method. To address this, the author has enhanced the method by incorporating QurAoanic stories that can motivate students to memorize selected surahs. These stories are intended to inspire and strengthen studentsAo emotional connection to the verses they are memorizing. Character Aspects That Can Be Enhanced Through the Implementation of the Method The Provasto method, as a strategy to enhance Qur'anic memorization, does not merely focus on the cognitive aspect but also plays a significant role in shaping studentsAo character. Systematic memorization of the QurAoan through this method helps students develop essential character values needed in daily life. The character formed through the memorization process becomes a part of habitual behavior that can influence their actions in the long term. One of the character aspects that can be improved is discipline. applying the Provasto method, students are required to maintain discipline in following their memorization schedule. Consistency in memorizing and reviewing Qur'anic verses trains them in effective time management and a sense of responsibility to complete assigned tasks. Winarno Surahmad. Pembinaan dan Pengembangan Kurikulum, (Jakarta: Proyek Pengadaan Buku Sekolah Pendidikan Guru, 1. Hendyat Soetopo dan Wasty Soemanto. Pembinaan dan Pengembangan Kurikulum, (Jakarta: Bina Aksara, 1. DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Edukasi. Volume 13. Nomor 02, 2025: 252-284 This discipline is beneficial not only in memorization but also in their academic and social lives. In addition to discipline, the aspects of patience and perseverance are also fostered through this method. Memorizing the QurAoan is not an instant process. it requires continuous Students must repeatedly practice and review their memorization to keep it strong. In this process, they learn not to give up easily and to keep striving even when facing difficulties. The perseverance built through memorization helps students confront various life challenges more effectively. Responsibility is another important character trait that can be enhanced through the Provasto method. When students are given specific memorization targets, they must be responsible for completing and maintaining those memorized verses. This sense of responsibility encourages them to value the tasks they are given, both academically and socially. Another aspect that develops is self-confidence. As the number of verses memorized increases, students gain more confidence in reading and reciting the QurAoan. This confidence extends beyond religious activities to their social interactions. When they can recite verses fluently in front of others, they become more courageous in speaking and expressing themselves. Thus, the Provasto method not only improves the quality of QurAoanic memorization but also contributes to character development in students. Through discipline, patience, responsibility, and selfconfidence, students can grow into better individuals who are prepared to face future challenges. This demonstrates that an effective memorization method offers not only academic benefits but also nurtures strong, moral character. The Influence of the Method on Students' Character Development in QurAoan Memorization Activities The Provasto Method is one of the innovative strategies designed to enhance the effectiveness of memorizing the QurAoan while also fostering positive character development in students. This method combines various systematic approaches that not only assist students in memorizing QurAoanic verses but also instill character values that can be applied in daily life. With proper implementation, students not only gain strong memorization skills but also experience better character One of the character aspects developed through the Provasto method is discipline. In the memorization process, students are trained to follow a consistent memorization schedule. This discipline is formed through the habit of regular memorization, repeated revision, and DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Development of the Provasto Method as a Strategy. Ae Lia Nurrohmania. , et al. participation in evaluations conducted by the teacher. With a structured schedule, students become accustomed to managing their time more effectively and being responsible for their memorization In addition to discipline, the Provasto method also contributes to the development of patience and perseverance. Memorizing the QurAoan is not something that can be done instantlyAiit requires repeated effort. In this process, students learn to remain patient in facing difficulties, whether in understanding tajweed or in retaining their memorization. The perseverance developed through this method can also be applied in academic and daily life. Responsibility is another character trait enhanced through the Provasto method. Students who are assigned memorization targets must ensure that they complete and retain the memorization in the long Awareness of the importance of responsibility in maintaining QurAoanic memorization encourages students to be more careful and attentive to their tasks. This attitude has a positive influence on their school life and family environment. Moreover, the Provasto method helps to build self-confidence. students increase the amount of QurAoan they have memorized, they become more confident in reciting and presenting the verses in front of teachers and peers. This confidence also helps them develop public speaking skills and interact better with others. With good memorization abilities, they feel more appreciated and motivated to continue The method also teaches the values of cooperation and social care. In several memorization sessions, students are often asked to practice in groups or pairs. They correct each other's recitations, provide feedback, and support friends who face difficulties. This cultivates a sense of solidarity and togetherness among them. Helping one another in the memorization process also fosters a caring and compassionate character. In addition, the Provasto method instills spiritual values and love for the QurAoan. With a more interactive and enjoyable approach, students enjoy the memorization process and feel a stronger connection to the QurAoan. This motivates them to keep reading, understanding, and practicing the teachings contained in the verses they memorize. Over time, their love for the QurAoan builds a stronger religious character within them. This method also helps students develop concentration and focus. Memorizing the QurAoan requires a good memory and the ability to concentrate for extended periods. With regular practice, students become more accustomed to focusing during study time, both in memorization and in other academic subjects. Improved focus DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Edukasi. Volume 13. Nomor 02, 2025: 252-284 contributes to overall academic performance. In addition to individual character development, the Provasto method also plays a role in shaping ethics and good manners in daily life. In the memorization process, students are taught to maintain proper etiquette toward the QurAoan, such as reading with humility, keeping the mushaf clean, and starting memorization with sincere intentions. These habits have a positive impact on their moral development, making them more courteous and well-behaved in various aspects of life. Overall, the Provasto method not only has a positive impact on improving the quality of QurAoanic memorization but also plays a significant role in developing students' character. With consistent implementation, students can grow into individuals who are disciplined, patient, responsible, confident, and well-mannered. Therefore, the Provasto method can be an effective solution in QurAoanic memorization learning that not only focuses on memorization but also on character formation.

Explaining the Effectiveness of the Method in Improving the Quality of StudentsAo QurAoan Memorization at SDN 1 Kepatihan The Provasto Method is one of the innovative strategies developed to help students improve the quality of their QurAoan memorization more effectively. This method combines various systematic approaches DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Edukasi. Volume 13. Nomor 02, 2025: 252-284 that not only accelerate the memorization process but also ensure longterm retention of the memorized verses. The implementation of this method at SDN 1 Kepatihan aims to overcome several obstacles in tahfizh learning, such as lack of motivation, difficulty in maintaining memorization, and the absence of a structured method to build more optimal memorization skills. One indicator of the effectiveness of the Provasto method is the studentsAo ability to memorize faster and more fluently compared to conventional methods. Through the techniques applied in this method, students are trained to understand memorization patterns, build connections between verses, and repeat their memorization regularly. This strategy helps them memorize more easily without feeling burdened, making the learning process more enjoyable and effective. Moreover, the Provasto method has proven to enhance memory retention and the strength of studentsAo memorization. In this method, students are not only taught to memorize repeatedly but are also provided with specific techniques to preserve their memorization and prevent it from fading. MurajaAoah or the review of memorization is carried out systematically and in stages, so that each verse remains well embedded in memory over the long term. Thus, this method helps students maintain stronger and more lasting memorization. The effectiveness of this method is also reflected in the increased motivation of students in learning. One of the main challenges in tahfizh education is the lack of student motivation, especially when the method used feels boring. However, with the more varied and interactive approach of Provasto, students feel more enthusiastic in engaging in the memorization process. They become more motivated to achieve their memorization targets because this method is designed to provide an enjoyable and non-monotonous learning experience. Beyond cognitive aspects, the Provasto method also contributes to improving student discipline in memorization. With a structured memorization schedule, students are trained to be consistent in memorizing and reviewing previously memorized verses. This discipline not only benefits their tahfizh learning but also fosters positive habits that can be applied in various aspects of life, including academic and social activities. Another advantage of this method is its adaptability to studentsAo learning styles. Every student has a different way of learningAisome memorize better through listening . , others through visualization . , and some through direct practice . The Provasto method is designed to accommodate these individual DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Development of the Provasto Method as a Strategy. Ae Lia Nurrohmania. , et al. learning styles, allowing students to memorize in the way that suits them best and most effectively. This method also helps students understand the meaning and context of the verses they memorize. Rather than focusing solely on memorization, the Provasto method encourages students to comprehend the content of the verses. This understanding not only helps in retaining memorization holly QurAoan but also strengthens studentsAo emotional and spiritual connection to the holy QurAoan. When students understand the meaning of the verses, they are more motivated to apply the values contained in the QurAoan in their daily lives. In addition to individual benefits, this method contributes to creating a more conducive and collaborative learning environment. Students are not only learning individually but also supporting each other in the memorization process. Through group or paired memorization sessions, they can correct each otherAos recitations and provide encouragement. This creates a positive learning atmosphere and promotes the development of studentsAo social skills. The effectiveness of the Provasto method can also be measured through improved student evaluation results. With the techniques applied in this method, many students at SDN 1 Kepatihan have shown significant increases in the number of verses they can memorize within a specific time frame. Moreover, their memorization quality has improved in terms of fluency, tajweed accuracy, and recitation clarity. Periodic evaluations indicate that this method yields better results compared to conventional memorization methods. With all the proven benefits, the Provasto method can be considered an effective strategy for improving the quality of QurAoan memorization among students at SDN 1 Kepatihan. It not only assists them in memorizing better but also has a positive impact on character development, motivation, and study discipline. Therefore, this method has great potential to be further developed and implemented in various educational institutions aiming to optimize tahfizh Al-QurAoan learning. Explaining the Challenges and Obstacles Faced in the Implementation of the Method at SDN 1 Kepatihan The Provasto method is an innovation in tahfizh learning that aims to improve the quality of QurAoan memorization as well as to build positive character in students. However, during its implementation at SDN 1 Kepatihan, various challenges and obstacles have emerged. These challenges arise from multiple aspects, including the students, the teaching staff, and the school environment, all of which play important roles in supporting the success of this method. DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Edukasi. Volume 13. Nomor 02, 2025: 252-284 One of the main obstacles encountered is the varying memorization abilities among students. Each student has a different level of comprehension and memory capacity. Some can memorize quickly, while others need more time to understand and retain the verses of the QurAoan. These differences pose a challenge for teachers in designing learning strategies that can accommodate all students, keeping them motivated and preventing them from feeling left behind in the memorization process. In addition, the lack of motivation and interest among students in memorizing the QurAoan also becomes a challenge in the implementation of the Provasto method. Some students perceive QurAoan memorization as a difficult and tedious task, especially when they have not yet understood the long-term benefits of what they are Therefore, teachers need to find more creative ways to maintain studentsAo enthusiasm and consistency in memorizing. Another frequent challenge is the limited study time available in school. A busy academic schedule often results in limited time for tahfizh activities. Students must divide their time between general subjects and QurAoan memorization, which can lead to fatigue. In such conditions, effective time management and support from the school are essential to ensure that the Provasto method can be implemented optimally without disrupting the balance of other learning activities. Beyond the internal factors of students, the availability of competent teachers in the Provasto method also presents a challenge. Not all teachers have in-depth understanding of effective memorization techniques or know how to apply this method systematically. Special training is needed for teachers so they can properly implement the method and provide appropriate guidance to students. Support from the surrounding environment is another key factor influencing the success of this method. The lack of parental involvement in supporting memorization at home often becomes a significant barrier. Many students rely solely on school time to memorize, without any review or murajaAoah at home. In fact, the role of parents in reminding and motivating children at home is crucial to ensure that their memorization is well maintained. Additionally, the lack of supporting facilities may hinder the optimal implementation of the Provasto method. For instance, the absence of a dedicated and conducive tahfizh room, a lack of guidebooks for the method, and insufficient interactive media to aid memorization can all become limiting factors. Providing adequate facilities can greatly influence the creation of a comfortable and supportive learning environment for students. Another challenge is the DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Development of the Provasto Method as a Strategy. Ae Lia Nurrohmania. , et al. consistency in applying the Provasto method. In some cases, the method is not implemented consistently due to reasons such as changes in school policy, lack of supervision, or insufficient evaluation of studentsAo To ensure the effectiveness of this method, a continuous evaluation system is required to monitor studentsAo improvement in Moreover, maintaining long term memorization is another difficulty in the implementation of this method. Many students can memorize quickly but tend to forget if regular review is not conducted. Therefore, special strategies within the Provasto method are necessary to preserve long-term memorization, so students not only focus on adding new verses but also maintain the strength of their previous Despite these challenges, the Provasto method still holds great potential in enhancing studentsAo QurAoan memorization quality. With improvements in implementation systems, better teacher training, and strong support from both the school and parents, this method can be applied more effectively. Ongoing efforts to address existing obstacles will further strengthen the role of the Provasto method in producing a generation of high-quality QurAoan memorizers. Explaining Ways to Overcome Existing Challenges to Ensure the Method is Well Accepted by Students and Teachers The implementation of the Provasto method in QurAoan memorization learning at SDN 1 Kepatihan faces various challenges, both from the students and the teaching staff. Therefore, appropriate strategies are required to ensure this method is well accepted by all parties involved. With a systematic approach and proper solutions, the obstacles that arise can be minimized, allowing the tahfizh learning process to become more effective and enjoyable. One of the primary ways to overcome these challenges is by providing training for teachers on the Provasto method. Not all teachers have an in-depth understanding of effective memorization strategies, so special training is needed to help them implement the method properly. This training includes systematic memorization techniques, guidance on how to help students retain their memorization, and strategies to keep students motivated and consistent in their learning. In addition to teacher training, adapting the method to the students' ability levels is also an important step. Each student has a different learning style, so the Provasto method must be applied flexibly. An individualized learning approach can help students who struggle with memorization feel included and not left behind. By grouping students based on their memorization levels, teachers can provide more DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Edukasi. Volume 13. Nomor 02, 2025: 252-284 targeted attention tailored to each studentAos needs. To enhance studentsAo motivation, implementing a reward and appreciation system can be an effective solution. Offering recognition to students who achieve specific memorization targets can provide positive These rewards donAot have to be material. they can take the form of praise, certificates, or opportunities to participate in enjoyable activities. Such a system encourages students to continue improving their memorization with enthusiasm. Another challenge in implementing the Provasto method is the limited study time available at school. To address this, schools can create more flexible memorization schedules that allow students to memorize outside of regular class hours. Additionally, the tahfizh program can be integrated with extracurricular activities or implemented during daily routines at school, such as reciting memorized verses before classes start or during break time. This enables students to continue memorizing without feeling overwhelmed by their academic schedule. For the method to be implemented effectively, support from parents is also essential. Schools can hold awareness sessions for parents about the importance of supporting their children in memorizing the QurAoan at home. Parents can actively participate by reminding their children to review their memorization or even join in group memorization activities at home. When the family environment is supportive, studentsAo memorization becomes stronger, and the learning process more effective. Moreover, providing supporting facilities is a crucial factor in the success of this method. Schools can provide dedicated and conducive tahfizh rooms, as well as reading materials or digital media to assist students in memorizing. The use of technology, such as memorization apps or murajaAoah recordings, can also be an innovative solution that helps students review their memorization anytime and anywhere. To ensure the method is applied consistently, regular evaluation of studentsAo memorization progress is necessary. Teachers need to systematically monitor each student's development, for example, by holding regular memorization assessments or group revision sessions. Continuous evaluation helps identify the challenges faced by students, allowing for more appropriate solutions tailored to each issue. addition to student evaluation, supervision of the teaching staff is also important to ensure the method is applied optimally. School principals and relevant authorities can monitor the tahfizh learning process in class and provide feedback or necessary improvements. With such DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Development of the Provasto Method as a Strategy. Ae Lia Nurrohmania. , et al. supervision, teachers are more motivated to teach the method better and more consistently. Finally, for the Provasto method to be well received by students and teachers, a strong commitment from all parties is required. The success of this method does not depend solely on teachers or students, but also involves support from the school, parents, and the surrounding With good collaboration and appropriate strategies, the Provasto method can become an effective approach to improving the quality of QurAoan memorization and shaping strong Islamic character in students.

Character education is the process of instilling moral values, ethics, and virtues to shape children into responsible and principled This form of education is vital because cognitive knowledge alone is not sufficient. students must also demonstrate behaviors aligned with societal norms and values. In the context of national DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi. Edukasi. Volume 13. Nomor 02, 2025: 252-284 development, character education plays a strategic role in nurturing a generation that is not only academically intelligent but also morally resilient and virtuous. (Ramdani et al. , 2. Memorizing the QurAoan is not solely aimed at verbal mastery of the Rather, it serves to instill spiritual values in children from an early More than just memorization, it demands patience, persistence, repetition, consistency, and discipline in daily life. QurAoanic memorization fosters a strong sense of personal responsibility. Children learn to be accountable for their memorized verses, maintaining their recitation and correcting mistakes. Those accustomed to memorization often develop better self-control and resilience in facing academic Furthermore, the QurAoanic values they internalize subconsciously shape their behavior and thinking. In this way, memorization becomes an effective medium for character and moral Memorizing the QurAoan is one of the noblest acts of worship in Islam. It is an expression of love for the holy book and a means of preserving divine revelation. Both the QurAoan and Hadith strongly encourage Muslims to learn and memorize it. This activity not only strengthens the spiritual bond between a servant and their Creator but also cultivates a noble and high-quality character. Another hadith narrated by Tirmidhi states: "Whoever recites the QurAoan, learns it, and acts upon it, a crown of light will be placed on his parents on the Day of Judgment. This provides powerful motivation, especially within the context of family and child education. Memorizing the QurAoan becomes not only a personal virtue but a form of devotion to one's parents. The rewardAi a crown of lightAisymbolizes the immense honor Allah bestows upon the families of QurAoan memorizers. The Provasto Method is a technique developed by the author in response to the deteriorating character of students in schools. This moral decline is alarming, especially at the elementary level, where character formation should be a priority. This phenomenon is not a minor issue. it has become a national concern that must be seriously addressed by all stakeholders, including the government, educational institutions, and educators. Concrete efforts are urgently needed to mitigate the negative impacts of this character crisis. As an educator, the author feels a moral and professional obligation to contribute to the solution by developing a learning method that integrates cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The widespread moral degradation among Indonesian youth is not new. Every day, news headlines reflect a moral crisisAidishonesty, violence. DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54956/edukasi.

In the educational process, character education should be the foundation of success. Without strong character, intellectual intelligence is hollow and may even be misused for harmful purposes. Poor character reflects poor educational quality. If the youth lose their moral compass, the nation's future is at stake. Character education must therefore be a key indicator in evaluating a countryAos educational Unfortunately, many schools, especially public schools, still pay insufficient attention to this area, focusing solely on academic achievement while character development remains secondary or The consequences of this neglect are evident in various negative cases in schools: student brawls, bullying, verbal and physical abuse, even criminal acts such as assault and rape all signal a failure in moral This cannot be allowed to continue. Innovative solutions are required to integrate character education into the curriculum. One such solution is the Provasto Method, proposed by the author as a targeted and impactful approach. With this method, the learning process becomes more meaningful, enjoyable, and conducive to character building. It emphasizes not just academic improvement, but also moral and spiritual values as integral components of education in public elementary schools. The Provasto Method Prophetic Value of Al-QurAoan Stories is designed as a contextual solution for instilling character values through QurAoanic stories. These narratives do not merely recount historical events but offer moral and prophetic lessons that are highly relevant for young learners. The method uses lecture-style explanations . and learning by doing, where students not only learn the meaning behind QurAoanic verses but are also expected to apply them in daily life, with the teacher acting as the main guide. The QurAoan was revealed over 23 years as a comprehensive guide to human life. It covers not only religious rituals and beliefs but also ethics, social norms, economics, and education. This highlights its holistic role as a complete manual for life. As the final divine revelation, the QurAoan is a sacred trust for Muslims to practice, not just recite or memorize. education, applying its values is key to nurturing a generation with noble character and responsibility. At SDN 1 Kepatihan, the Provasto Method is applied in a special tahfizh class.

QurAoanic memorization sessions are now introduced as a form of spiritual outreach to future generations. Many families choose public schools due to economic constraints, despite recognizing the value of Islamic education. Although private Islamic schools are not excessively expensive, low-income levels in Tulungagung push families toward public options. Today, most public elementary schools in the area require QurAoanic memorization, aiming to enhance studentsAo religious understanding and increase public awareness of religious values. This research aims to develop the Provasto Method as a strategy to enhance both character and the quality of QurAoanic memorization at SDN 1 Kepatihan. The method is designed to improve studentsAo motivation, discipline, and concentration. The results show that the Provasto Method improves studentAos QurAoanic memorization while also fostering character traits such as perseverance, responsibility, and Overall, the development of the Provasto Method has proven effective in enhancing studentsAo character and memorization quality at SDN 1 Kepatihan.
