Abstract

Madrasas as the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia have unique characteristics because they were born from the thoughts of the community where the madrasa was founded, hence resulting in diverse madrasas quality. The empowerment focus of these training and mentoring is to improve the pedagogic competence of madrasa teachers in Pangalengan and Cimaung Sub-districts, Bandung Regency. The empowerment strategies were done by carrying out various activities, namely: preparation, program planning, program implementation, and lastly program reflection and evaluation. The results of the empowerment show that the pedagogic competence of madrasa teachers has increased significantly through planning for Quran learning, implementation of Quran learning through MATA method (Reading, Playing and Storytelling), teacher pedagogical competencies in industrial era 4.0. and evaluation of Quran learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Assistance and training for madrasa teachers must always be carried out as an attempt to improve the competence of madrasa teachers towards a better direction.
