Auditorium of Prof. Dr. Suwito, MA SPs UIN Jakarta, SPs NEWS: The Graduate School of Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta held the 2759th Master's Thesis Exam in the Auditorium Room of Prof. Dr. Suwito, MA SPs UIN Jakarta, on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 with candidate Rina Eli Ermawati.

Rina Eli Ermawati is a student of the Master of Islamic Studies study program with a concentration in Islamic Religious Education. Rina wrote a thesis entitled "Quality Management of Tahfiz Al-Qur'an Learning at the Tahfizh Daarul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School Tangerang"

Rina's research focuses on the analysis of the effectiveness of quality management of tahfidz Al-Quran learning and concrete steps implemented at the Tahfizh Daarul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School in Tangerang. As a field research with a qualitative approach, Rina conducts direct observation of actions and interactions in the pesantren environment. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, ensuring the completeness and validity of the findings.

The Tahfizh Daarul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School in Tangerang is a relevant o bject of study because of its ability to combine formal education with pesantren education. One of the flagship programs that is the main highlight in this study is the learning of tahfidz Al-Qur'an. Rina's focus on the quality management of tahfidz Al-Qur'an learning is expected to reveal best practices in the management of this flagship program.

The results of the study show that the quality management of tahfidz Al-Quran learning at the Tahfizh Daarul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School in Tangerang is very quality-oriented. All aspects of learning, from planning, organizing, implementing, to evaluation, are carried out based on quality. This includes the quality of input (for example, the quality of students and teachers), the quality of the process (teaching methods), and the quality of output (the quality of student memorization).

Rina identified four main stages in the implementation of the quality management of tahfidz Al-Quran learning in this Islamic boarding school: learning planning, organization, learning implementation, and learning evaluation. In planning, pesantren set goals, quality standards, and learning strategies. The organizational aspect is manifested in a clear tahfidz management structure, involving the Head of the Tahfidz Bureau, the Head of Tahfidz, the Deputy Head, the Secretary, the Treasurer, as well as the person in charge of infrastructure facilities and the discipline of teachers and students, each with their roles and duties.

In the implementation aspect, quality management at the Tahfizh Daarul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School includes systematic learning steps, methods used, conducive learning environment management, and identification of supporting and inhibiting factors of the learning process. The evaluation of Qur'an memorization, known as "memorization deposit", is carried out periodically, including daily deposits, multiples of one juz, weekly, per semester, and yearly, ensuring that the quality of students' memorization is maintained.

Rina's research has a significant difference from that carried out by Mahfuzh Fauzi who only studied the tahfidz learning curriculum. Meanwhile, Rina's research examines the quality management of tahfidz learning in depth, including concrete steps to improve quality. The similarity of this research is the location of the study, namely the Tahfizh Daarul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School.

Rina Eli Ermawati successfully defended her thesis under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Armai Arief, M.Ag and Prof. Muhammad Zuhdi, M.Ed, Ph.D, and was tested in front of a board of examiners consisting of Prof. Dr. Yusuf Rahman, MA, Prof. Muhammad Zuhdi, M.Ed, Ph.D, Suparto, M.Ed, Ph.D and Dr. Suwendi, M.Ag.

After paying attention to the thesis writing, the comments of the examiner team and the candidate's answers, the examiner team determined that Rina Eli Ermawati graduated with the title of Very Satisfactory. Rina Eli Ermawati is the 2759th master in the field of Islamic Studies, in the master's program of the Graduate School of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta.(JA)
