PEMBERDAYAAN ORANG TUA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI MENGAJI ANAK DI DESA SUKARAME

Abstract

Religious education from an early age plays an important role in shaping children's character, promoting high moral and religious values. One form of this education is Quranic study activities. However, in Sukarame Village, children's motivation to study the Quran is still low, even though the social environment tends to be religious. This study aims to examine the role of parental empowerment in increasing children's motivation to study the Quran, particularly in Adian Brotan Hamlet.The study uses a descriptive qualitative method with interviews, observation, and documentation techniques involving parents, children, and Quranic teachers. The results of the study indicate that active parental involvement—such as accompanying children in Quranic study at home, setting regular schedules, and providing motivation and rewards—contributes significantly to enhancing children's enthusiasm. Conversely, limited time, parents' low ability to read the Quran, and minimal empowerment programs are the main obstacles.This study It can be concluded that empowering parents, whether through training, religious study groups, or collaboration with TPQ, is very necessary to create a family environment that supports Qur'an learning. Thus, the family can become the main foundation in fostering children's motivation to recite the Qur'an and shaping a strong religious character.
