Qur’anic learning in Ukke’e village, Soppeng regency

This study aims to examine the implementation of Quranic instruction in Ukke’e Village, which currently takes place informally within residents' homes. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method to capture a deep understanding of the local educational phenomenon. Data collection was systematically conducted through structured observations, in-depth interviews, and meticulous documentation. To ensure data richness, key informants were purposively selected from Quranic teachers and local community members, while data validity was strictly maintained through source triangulation techniques. The empirical findings indicate that Quranic instruction in Ukke’e Village continues to rely on residents' private homes due to the complete absence of formal islamic educational institutions, such as a TPQ (Quran Education Center) or madrasah. Furthermore, this traditional learning model has seamlessly integrated into the local culture. The instructional sessions are flexibly scheduled according to the students' free time, allowing for personalized learning conducted under the direct, intensive guidance of a dedicated teacher.
