Application of Al-Qur'an Learning with Yanbu'a Method for Slow Learners at Smk Islam Al-Azhaar Tulungagung

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Yanbu’a method among slow learner students and its impact on their Qur’anic reading ability at SMK Islam Al-Azhaar Tulungagung. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with data collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis. Data sources included the principal, Qur’anic teachers, and school learning documentation. The findings indicate that the Yanbu’a method gradually improves the Qur’anic reading skills of slow-learning students. Additionally, the process positively affects affective aspects such as learning motivation, discipline, and self-confidence. The method's success relies heavily on the role of teachers as both personal and emotional mentors and their flexibility in adjusting learning targets. The main limitation of this study is its focus on a single school and the absence of formal training for teachers in handling special needs students. Practically, this research offers valuable implications for schools and Islamic boarding schools to develop more inclusive Qur’anic learning. The originality of this study lies in its specific focus on slow learners within the context of the Yanbu’a method—an area still rarely explored in Islamic education studies.
