Abstract

The aim of this study is to review strategies of tahfiz learning styles in Tahfiz Institutions in Malaysia. The study involved a total of 212 students who studied in Diploma of Tahfiz Darul Qur’an, JAKIM. The questionnaire instruments were developed by researcher and its content has been validated by panel of experts. Cronbach’s alpha reliability level of value for all parts of the questionnaire was high (> 0. 9). Research data was analyzed descriptively and inferential by using the mean, standard deviation, percentage, T-test and Pearson correlation. The findings show that the strategies of tahfiz al-Qur’an learning styles were at moderately high level. Inferential data analysis found significant differences between ‘gender’ and ‘location of tahfiz institutions’ and strategies of students learning styles. The findings also show strong significant relationship between strategies of tahfiz learning styles and students performance in memorization (hafazan). Research implications conclude that elements of strategy in tahfiz learning styles should be given special attention by all parties when drafting a curriculum for tahfiz teaching and learning so that the excellence in quality of the students can be achieved.
