MODEL PENILAIAN PROGRAM TAHFIZ AL QURAN DI NUSANTARA BERDASARKAN MODEL PENILAIAN PROVUS (DISCREPANCY EVALUATION MODEL)
The main objective of Quranic memorisation education is to create a generation of huffaz that is capable of memorising the entire Quran and preserving it from any exploitation. This objective should be understood clearly by the tahfiz institution administrators, the teachers, the parents and tahfiz al Quran students. Problems could occur if this objective is not understood clearly, while the solution should be sought. Previous studies have shown that several issues arise in the education of the tahfiz al Quran. Among the issues are; tahfiz students are not able to recite the entire al Quran without looking at the mushaf, tahfiz students failed to memorise the syllabus within the designated period, tahfiz students are not able to write Quranic verses without looking at the mushaf, tahfiz students failed to master the tajweed knowledge theoretically and practically and the weakness of the tahfiz students to perceive Mutashabihat al Lafzi verses in the Quran. Thus, evaluation of the Quran tahfiz program should be carried out to identify the causes of the weaknesses. The purpose of the evaluation is to ensure that the tahfiz al Quran program is running as planned. For that purpose, the researcher developed an evaluation model for the tahfiz alQuran program based on the Discrepancy Evaluation Model by Provus (1971) The results of this study show that four aspects need to be addressed so that the five issues that occur in the Quran tahfiz education could be solved. The first aspect is the determination of tahfiz al Quran objectives, the second aspect is the preparation before memorising the Quran, the third aspect is the memorisation process, and the fourth aspect is the process of revising the Quran. By using this model as an evaluation instrument, the cause of the problem in tahfiz al Quran education can be identified and solved.
