Keywords: Abstract An-Nahdliyah ability to read the QurAoan The results of classroom observations indicate that the instructional process of QurAoanic learning in Grade V remains predominantly reliant on traditional teaching approaches. This condition has adversely affected studentsAo QurAoanic reading proficiency, as a proportion of learners have not yet met the established mastery criteria, namely the ability to read fluently, accurately, and in accordance with the rules of tajwid. To address this issue, the An-Nahdliyah method is considered a viable instructional alternative with the potential to enhance studentsAo QurAoanic reading skills. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The research participants consisted of Grade V students of MI Negeri Blora, with data sources derived from both teachers and students. Data were collected through oral testing instruments and supporting documentation. The collected data were subsequently analyzed using prerequisite tests, including normality and homogeneity tests, followed by hypothesis testing utilizing the MannAeWhitney statistical test. The findings reveal that the experimental group achieved a mean posttest score of 79. 42 in QurAoanic reading ability, with 17 students meeting the mastery criteria, whereas the control group obtained a mean score of 74. 81, with 13 students achieving mastery. The magnitude of the effect of the AnNahdliyah method on QurAoanic reading ability was found to be 5. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of the An-Nahdliyah method significantly improves the QurAoanic reading ability of Grade V students at MI Negeri Blora. Introduction Education is an endeavor undertaken to achieve a prosperous life. Education plays a very important role in improving the quality of community life as a means of character formation, as religious and social values form the foundation for human growth and All aspects of education, whether academic or religious, consistently shape the character of learners in the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions throughout their 1 The progress of a nation is greatly influenced by the educational system it The QurAoan and Hadith are the foundational sources of Islamic teachings.

Siti Nurlaeli Rohmah et al it is essential for Muslims to comprehend, reflect upon, and implement the messages contained within these two primary sources of guidance. The QurAoan is the origin of Islamic teachings and its most significant manifestation of faith. The QurAoan serves as a guide for humanity, providing directions for life to distinguish between truth and falsehood. 3 Therefore, learning the QurAoan is of utmost importance and can even be regarded as a remedy for all ailments. Learning the verses of the QurAoan means learning its letters. Developing QurAoanic reading skills in children is of great necessity. The An-Nahdliyah method is well-suited for improving recitation. 5 The An-Nahdliyah method facilitates students in memorizing makhraj . rticulation point. and tajwid rules through rhythmic tapping as a tempo marker, resulting in a positive impact on the improvement of studentsAo QurAoanic reading. Field findings reveal that QurAoanic teaching patterns that still rely on conventional methods for Grade V students have not been able to meet the targeted learning criteria. This is reflected in the continued existence of students who are not yet proficient in reciting QurAoanic verses fluently and with accurate application of tajwid rules, despite this being a required competency to be mastered upon completing madrasah education. The AnNahdliyah method is a learning approach conducted classically and comprehensively, where the learning process is carried out with rhythmic tapping patterns using a stick as a counting 6 This learning method is carried out by having the teacher first recite the reading, after which the students follow repeatedly. This pattern is consistent with the process of revelation of the QurAoan, which was conveyed gradually and systematically by the Angel Jibril (Gabrie. to the Prophet Muhammad SAW during the early period of prophethood in the Cave of Hira, without altering the essence of the meaning conveyed. Based on the background presented above, the researchers were motivated to explore the processes and methods used in QurAoanic reading at MI Negeri Blora, leading to the formulation of this research entitled AuThe Effect of the An-Nahdliyah Method on the QurAoanic Reading Ability of Grade V Students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri Blora.

Siti Nurlaeli Rohmah et al The Effect of A comprehensively by collecting data from natural settings using the researcher as a human 9 This research involved all Grade V students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri Blora as research subjects. The population consisted of two parallel classes, namely Class V A with 27 students and Class V B with 26 students, making a total of 53 students. This study was conducted at MI Negeri Blora over a period of three months from the issuance of the official research permit by the Dean of FTIK IAI Khozinatul Ulum Blora. During this period, the research activities were scheduled into five learning sessions. In the first session, students were given a pre-test to measure their QurAoanic reading ability. In the following three sessions, the QurAoanic learning process was carried out using the AnNahdliyah method. The final session focused on a post-test to assess the development of studentsAo QurAoanic reading ability after the method was implemented. This research focused on two main variables: the implementation of the An-Nahdliyah method as the independent variable and the QurAoanic reading ability of Grade V students at MI Negeri Blora as the dependent variable. A test is an assessment instrument that functions to evaluate the degree of attainment of learning objectives by examining studentsAo learning outcomes. 10 The aspects measured through this test were tartil, which encompass fluency in reading the QurAoan, proficiency, application of tajwid, and mastery of tajwid rules.

The data presented indicate that studentsAo QurAoanic reading scores on the experimental class posttest were distributed as: 65% good, 27% fairly good, and 8% less than good, while the control class was distributed as: 50% good, 31% fairly good, 11% less than good, and 8% poor. The minimum mastery criteria (KKM) for this score range can be found in the following table: Table 7. Frequency Distribution of Student Learning Mastery on Post-Test for Both Classes The table shows that in the post-test, 17 experimental class students achieved the mastery category and 9 students did not, while in the control class, 13 students each achieved and did not achieve mastery. This indicates that the number of students achieving mastery was higher in the class that received treatment compared to the untreated class. Hypothesis Testing Results Normality Test This test aimed to determine whether the measurement results before and after treatment followed a normal distribution. Data are declared to meet the normality assumption if the significance value obtained is above 0. A summary of the normality test results is presented in the table below. Table 8. Normality Test for Experimental and Control Classes Significance Value Variable Experimental Control Pretest Posttest Pretest Posttest QurAoanic Reading Ability 0,173 0,148 0,081 Based on the data presented, the normality test results show that in the experimental group, the significance values were 0. 113 for the pretest and 0. 173 for the posttest, both of which exceeded the 0. 05 threshold. This indicates that the data for both measurements meet the normal distribution assumption. In the control group, the significance values also exceeded the established criterion, at 0. 148 for the pretest and 0. 081 for the posttest, so it can be concluded that the control class data also have a normal distribution. Homogeneity Test Before being designated as research subjects, the two classes involved first underwent homogeneity testing to ensure that they had equivalent characteristics. For this purpose, the researchers administered the same pretest to both the experimental and control classes. Data are declared homogeneous if the test results show a significance value exceeding 0. Details of the test results are presented in the table below. Table 9. Homogeneity Test of StudentsAo Pre-test QurAoanic Reading Ability Pretest Statistic Experimental Control Sig. Referring to the data in the table, the homogeneity test yielded a significance value of Since this value exceeds 0. 05, it can be concluded that the pretest results of both classes indicate equal or homogeneous conditions. Hypothesis Test The prerequisite test results indicate that the data distribution did not fully meet normal criteria even after normality and variance equality tests. Given this condition, statistical hypothesis testing could not be conducted using a parametric approach. the Mann-Whitney test was selected as a non-parametric method to examine the effect of the An-Nahdliyah method in the QurAoanic learning process on the research subjects. The analysis focused on comparing the posttest scores between the treatment group and the control group. The determination of whether a significant difference exists between the two groups was made by examining the Asymp. -taile. If the significance value exceeds 05, the null hypothesis (H. is accepted while the alternative hypothesis (H. is rejected, meaning that both the An-Nahdliyah and conventional methods show no significant difference in effectiveness in improving studentsAo QurAoanic reading ability. Conversely, if the significance value is below 0. H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, indicating a meaningful difference between the use of the An-Nahdliyah method and the conventional method on studentsAo QurAoanic reading ability. The results of hypothesis testing using the Mann-Whitney test are presented in the following table: Table 10. Mann-Whitney Test Output on Post-Test for Both Classes Statistic Value MannAeWhitney U Wilcoxon W Asymp. Sig. -taile. Based on the results of the Mann-Whitney statistical test presented in the analysis table, the significance value of Asymp. Sig. -taile. This value is below the significance threshold of 0. 05, so the null hypothesis (H. is rejected while the alternative hypothesis (H. is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a meaningful difference in QurAoanic reading ability between students taught using the An-Nahdliyah method and those using the conventional learning approach. Siti Nurlaeli Rohmah et al The Effect of A This study employed a quasi-experimental design to examine the effectiveness of the An-Nahdliyah method in improving QurAoanic reading skills among fifth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri Blora. This design was selected because random assignment of subjects was not feasible. however, it still allowed systematic comparison between experimental and control groups through pretest and posttest measurements. Quasiexperimental approaches are widely used in educational research as they enable researchers to assess instructional interventions within authentic classroom settings without disrupting ongoing learning processes. The division of research subjects into two groups enabled a comparative analysis of the impact of the An-Nahdliyah method versus conventional QurAoanic reading instruction. The experimental class received instruction based on rhythmic tapping, which characterizes the An-Nahdliyah method, whereas the control class continued using traditional approaches. Such comparison is essential to ensure that observed improvements in reading ability result from the instructional treatment rather than external variables. The An-Nahdliyah method represents a QurAoanic reading instructional approach emphasizing habituation, repetition, and rhythm as tools to master articulation . and tajwid rules. Rhythmic patterns assist students in developing phonological awareness, thereby facilitating systematic internalization of recitation skills. This approach aligns with skill-based learning principles that highlight modeling, imitation, and practice as central processes in literacy development. Prior to the intervention, the researcher conducted instrument validation involving subject-matter experts and evaluation specialists to ensure that the assessment aligned with the construct of QurAoanic reading ability. This validation process was necessary to confirm that the instrument accurately measured aspects of tartil, including fluency, accuracy, and tajwid mastery. Valid instruments allow collected data to reflect studentsAo actual competencies, thereby strengthening the credibility of research findings. Following validation, the instrument was piloted in both classes with relatively equivalent initial abilities. This step aimed to control baseline variables so that differences in learning outcomes could be attributed to the instructional treatment. Establishing equivalence in initial ability is a fundamental principle in experimental educational research because it reduces bias and enhances internal validity. The findings revealed that the experimental group demonstrated greater improvement in QurAoanic reading ability compared with the control group. This result indicates that the An-Nahdliyah method creates more structured, interactive, and practiceoriented learning experiences. The use of rhythm and repetition strengthens studentsAo procedural memory, suggesting that learning outcomes involve not only cognitive processes but also psychomotor development. Conceptually, the study confirms that variation in QurAoanic instructional strategies significantly influences student learning outcomes. The implementation of the An-Nahdliyah method improves technical reading skills while also fostering active student engagement through collective and rhythmic activities. Therefore, the method holds potential as a pedagogical alternative for Islamic elementary schools seeking to enhance QurAoanic literacy 11 Jaedun. Metodologi Penelitian Eksperimen. 12 Sugiyono.

Conclusion The findings of this study on the implementation of the An-Nahdliyah method in QurAoanic reading instruction for Grade V students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri Blora indicate that variations in learning strategies directly influence studentsAo learning outcomes. Data obtained from the comparison of pre- and post-treatment scores show that students who received instruction through the An-Nahdliyah method experienced a more significant improvement in QurAoanic reading ability compared to those taught using traditional learning This superiority was quantitatively demonstrated through a two-tailed statistical test yielding a significance value of 0. 003, which is less than the established significance level of Therefore, the initial assumption of no difference was rejected, while the alternative hypothesis was confirmed. These findings affirm that the use of the An-Nahdliyah method produces a significant difference in QurAoanic reading skills compared to conventional teaching methods. Based on the research findings and conclusions obtained, the researchers formulated a number of recommendations that may benefit the institution under study, namely MI Negeri Blora. These recommendations are expected not only to serve as considerations but also to promote institutional improvement and development. The proposed suggestions are as follows: Educational institutions need to design QurAoanic learning approaches that are truly aligned with the characteristics and developmental needs of students, while educators are advised to optimize the use of the An-Nahdliyah method as a learning strategy so that QurAoanic reading skills can develop more effectively. Students, on the other hand, are encouraged to build active engagement in the learning process through strengthening their curiosity and self-confidence when reading the QurAoan. For future researchers, similar studies should be developed with a broader scope and contextually designed application of the AnNahdliyah method, encompassing systematic learning stages, proportional time management, adequate learning facilities and media, and adjustments to studentsAo References
