Trend and Issue in Learning Strategy of Tahfiz Model Ulul Albab (TMUA)

Abstract

Tahfiz Model Ulul Albab (TMUA) curriculum is a combination of National Curriculum and Kurikulum Bersepadu Tahfiz (KBT) with the Quranic, Encyclopedic and Ijtihadik approaches. The conduction of this curriculum is one of the vision of the government in which to produce 125000 hafizs by the year 2050. As a result, tahfiz stream is no longer limited to the students in religious field but instead, is more open and inclusive to all. This trend has resulted in high supports of TMUA curriculum from the community. Nevertheless, research has found that there are four issues should be highlighted in TMUA learning which is not many students memorize the 30 juz of Quran within 3 years, the students do not vary their memorization technique, the learning strategy instruments only focus on the language and the instruments available do not measure the memorization strategy. Hence, this research will explain the significance of learning strategy instruments specifically in memorizing the Quran.
