INTRODUCTION
The Qur'an, as the divine scripture of Islam, requires precision in its recitation, known as Tajweed, to preserve its sanctity and authenticity.
This precision is crucial not only for spiritual adherence but also for linguistic integrity, ensuring that the text is passed down accurately through generations.
1 The teaching and mastery of Tajweed are particularly emphasized in Islamic educational settings such as Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, which serve as primary educational institutions blending religious and secular studies.
Here, the challenge is not merely to instruct but to engage young minds deeply with the Qur'an's linguistic and spiritual essence from an early age.
Despite extensive research on Qur'anic teaching methodologies, such as those by Abdillah & Churrahman3 and Fauji et al.
, a gap persists in understanding how these methodologies can be effectively applied and potentially integrated within the specific pedagogical environment of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah.
Previous studies have primarily focused on the categorization of reading proficiency and the effectiveness of certain teaching methods 4 However, they often do not address the integration of innovative digital tools and traditional recitation techniques in a cohesive educational strategy, nor do they consider the cultural and contextual nuances of institutions like Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 3 Banjarmasin.
However, the application and adaptability of the tajdied method within the unique pedagogical environment of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 3 Banjarmasin remain unexamined, particularly in 1 Heri Pratikto et al.

Ay These insights gathered from the interviews corroborate the observations and highlight a concerted effort towards innovating traditional teaching methods to adapt to modern educational needs and challenges.
The application of diverse teaching strategies at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 3 Banjarmasin reflects a significant effort towards optimizing the educational process to enhance student's ability to read the Qur'an proficiently.
The observed strategy of using repetitive recitation is rooted in traditional pedagogical approaches that emphasize rote learning as a means to memorize and perfect the recitation of the Qur'an.
This method has been proven effective across various learning environments as it embeds the sounds and patterns of the text deeply into the learner's memory.
However, repetitive recitation also demands a high degree of consistency and patience, both from teachers and students, to achieve the desired level of 376 | Nazhruna: Vol.
7 Issue 2, 2024 Abd.
Basir The incorporation of group readings and role-playing into the teaching strategies further enhances this traditional approach by adding elements of cooperative learning and active These methods are particularly effective in engaging students more dynamically, as they not only listen to corrections and models from the teacher but also from their peers.
Role-playing, where students take turns leading the recitation, is an innovative strategy that fosters leadership skills and boosts confidence among students.
It challenges them to take responsibility for their learning and to exhibit their skills in front of their peers, thereby creating a motivated learning environment.
The use of interactive digital media and visual aids like charts and flashcards signifies an adaptation to modern educational needs and technological advancements.
These tools help to break down complex Tajweed rules into understandable segments, making it easier for students to grasp and apply these rules during their recitations.
Visual and auditory aids not only cater to different learning styles but also help to maintain students' interest and engagement over longer The visual representation of information can be particularly helpful in retaining difficult concepts, which is essential in mastering the intricacies of Qur'anic recitation.
However, the integration of such modern techniques within traditional Qur'anic teaching raises questions about the balance between innovation and tradition.

These observations suggest that the strategies are effectively addressing both the cognitive and affective domains of learning.
The emphasis on peer-to-peer learning and supportive teaching practices mentioned by teachers highlights the importance of social learning components in education, particularly in the context of religious studies where communal practices are central.
Challenges in Implementing Teaching Strategies During the observation period at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 3 Banjarmasin, several challenges were evident in the implementation of teaching strategies aimed at enhancing Qur'anic reading skills.
One significant challenge observed was the varying levels of student engagement and proficiency, which made it difficult for teachers to maintain a uniform pace in Some students struggled with basic pronunciation and required additional support, slowing down the progress of the entire class.
Additionally, the integration of technology, while beneficial, faced hurdles such as insufficient technological resources and intermittent internet connectivity, which disrupted the learning process.
The classroom environment also posed challenges, as larger class sizes sometimes led to less individual attention for students who needed it most, thereby affecting the overall efficacy of the teaching strategies employed.
Interviews with the teachers at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 3 Banjarmasin supported the observations regarding the challenges faced in the classroom.
Teachers expressed Auconcerns about the disparities in student learning speeds and how these disparities require them to modify lesson plans or allocate more time to certain students, impacting the schedule for the entire class.
They also highlighted technical issues with digital tools and the lack of adequate training for teachers to effectively use advanced educational Moreover, managing a classroom with a high student-to-teacher ratio was frequently mentioned as a significant impediment to providing personalized instruction and feedback.
Ay Teachers shared their strategies for overcoming these challenges, such as grouping students by proficiency levels and seeking community support for resources, but acknowledged that these were only partial solutions.
These insights from the interviews elucidate the complexities involved in implementing effective teaching strategies and underscore the need for institutional support to address these challenges comprehensively.
The observed disparities in student engagement and proficiency levels present a significant challenge in the uniform application of teaching strategies within Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 3 Banjarmasin.
This variation in student capabilities necessitates that teachers constantly adapt their teaching pace and style, which can compromise the coherence and continuity of educational delivery.
Such disparities often require teachers to spend additional time on students who struggle with basic concepts like pronunciation, which not only impacts the individual's learning curve but also affects the class as a whole.
This scenario demands differentiated instruction strategies that can cater to a broad spectrum of learning needs without sacrificing the quality of education for other students.
The challenge here lies in balancing individual attention with collective progression, ensuring that no student is left behind while keeping the class moving forward.
The integration of technology in education, while generally seen as a beneficial advancement, also brings its own set of challenges, as observed in the madrasah.
Issues such as inadequate technological resources and unreliable internet connectivity hinder the effective use 379 | Nazhruna: Vol.

For instance, digital recitation tools allow students to listen to and mimic model recitations, offering a multisensory learning experience that enhances memorization and understanding.
17 Visual aids related to Tajweed rules help clarify what might otherwise remain abstract concepts.
The availability of immediate digital feedback also enables students to correct their mistakes in real-time, thereby accelerating their learning curve and ensuring more effective learning outcomes.
Visual aids such as charts and flashcards are particularly effective for teaching Tajweed rules, which require a high level of precision and detail.
These aids make the intricate details of phonetic rules accessible and understandable to all students, regardless of their initial proficiency 14 Ahmad Firdaus Bin Mohd Noor et al.

19 This clarity is crucial for students to apply Tajweed correctly in their recitation, significantly impacting their ability to recite the Qur'an with the accuracy and reverence it demands.
The visual representation not only supports the learning of visual learners but also serves as a quick reference guide for all students during practice sessions.
Lastly, role-playing activities utilized in the classroom setting encourage students to take an active role in their learning by leading recitations.
This method has proven effective in boosting studentsAo confidence and fluency, essential components of mastering Qur'anic Role-playing shifts the learning experience from passive reception to active participation, compelling students to prepare thoroughly and perform under peer observation.
The increased responsibility motivates students to master their recitation skills, while the supportive feedback culture fosters a learning environment that values constructive criticism and personal growth.
This strategy not only enhances the recitative skills of the students but also instills in them a sense of ownership and pride in their learning, contributing to deeper engagement and a more profound appreciation of the Qur'anic text.
Challenges In Implementing Teaching Strategies While the teaching strategies employed at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 3 Banjarmasin are largely effective, several challenges hinder their full potential.
One of the most significant challenges is the varying levels of student engagement and proficiency.
In any educational setting, particularly in subjects requiring specialized skills like Qur'anic recitation, disparities in student abilities can greatly impact the pace and effectiveness of teaching.
In the madrasah, some students grasp the intricacies of Tajweed quickly, while others struggle with basic This variance forces teachers to either slow down the entire class to accommodate slower learners, which can lead to disengagement among more proficient students, or to move at a set pace, potentially leaving behind those who need more time.
Such disparities necessitate the implementation of differentiated instruction, which can be resourceintensive and difficult to manage within larger class sizes.
Another challenge is the integration of technology in teaching.
While digital tools have the potential to make learning more interactive and engaging, their effectiveness is contingent on consistent and reliable access to these technologies.

Basir Banjarmasin, issues such as insufficient technological resources and intermittent internet connectivity pose significant barriers.
These technological shortcomings disrupt the learning process and prevent the consistent use of innovative teaching aids that could enhance student learning experiences.
23 Moreover, the lack of training for teachers on how to effectively integrate these technologies into their daily teaching practices further complicates the situation, leading to underutilization and inefficiency in the deployment of potentially transformative digital The challenge of large class sizes compounds the difficulties faced in personalized With a high student-to-teacher ratio, it becomes increasingly challenging for teachers to provide the individual attention that is often necessary for students struggling with the nuances of Quranic recitation.
Personalized feedback is crucial for correcting pronunciation and understanding Tajweed rules, but in large classes, teachers are spread too thin to attend to each student's unique learning needs.
This situation is detrimental not only to students who require more guidance but also affects the overall classroom dynamic, as teachers are unable to adequately monitor and adjust their teaching strategies based on individual student progress.
Teachers also face the challenge of maintaining student motivation and engagement over time.
The rigorous nature of Qur'anic studies, combined with the need for repetitive practice, can sometimes lead to student disinterest and disengagement, particularly if teaching methods do not actively involve students or cater to their learning styles.
This is exacerbated by the aforementioned challenges of large class sizes and insufficient technological support, which can hinder the implementation of more dynamic and interactive teaching methods.
Addressing these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach that involves not only pedagogical changes but also systemic support from the institution.
Enhancements in school infrastructure, such as improved technological resources and access, along with professional development opportunities for teachers in how to effectively use these tools, are critical.
Additionally, adopting flexible teaching strategies that accommodate various learning speeds and styles, possibly through smaller class sizes or increased teacher assistance, could help mitigate the effects of student proficiency disparities.
26 By tackling these challenges head-on.
Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 3 Banjarmasin can further improve its teaching effectiveness, ensuring that all students not only learn but also thrive in their Quranic studies.

Enhancing Qur'an Reading Proficiency in Madrasahs Through Teaching StrategiesTop of Form
CONCLUSION
One of the most surprising findings of this research at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 3 Banjarmasin was the significant impact of integrating modern digital tools with traditional Qur'anic teaching methods.
Despite initial skepticism regarding the blending of technology in traditional religious education, the results demonstrated that such an integration enhances students' engagement and significantly improves their ability to understand and recite the Qur'an.
This was particularly notable in how digital aids catered to various learning styles and needs, effectively supporting the diverse student body.
This study contributes to the academic field by challenging the prevailing notion that traditional educational settings, particularly in Islamic contexts, might resist modern educational The findings confirm the effectiveness of conventional strategies like repetitive recitation and group readings and validate the integration of modern educational technologies as a complementary approach that enhances learning outcomes.
This research adds a new perspective on the potential for synergy between conventional pedagogical methods and modern technology in enhancing Qur'anic education, thereby supporting a more nuanced understanding of pedagogical evolution in religious education contexts.
The research was confined to a single institution, which may limit the generalizability of the findings.
The study was also limited by its sample size and the variety of contextsAiit only considered a specific educational setting without exploring other types of Islamic educational institutions or age groups.
Moreover, the limited access to advanced technological resources and the necessity for specialized training were significant constraints.
Future research should aim to include a broader range of Islamic schools, possibly across different regions or countries, to examine if similar outcomes are observable universally.
A larger sample size and diverse participant demographics could offer more profound insights.
Further studies should explore the long-term impact of integrating technology in Qur'anic education to formulate more precise and effective educational policies.
