SELF-REGULATION OF QUR'AN MEMORIZERS IN PESANTREN SALAF IN THE MILLENNIAL ERA (A phenomenological Study at Pesantren Al-Hidayah Karangsuci Purwokerto)

Abstract

In the millenial era, more and more people are interested in memorizing the Qur’an with new techniques and digital applications, the traditional techniques have become less popular. Memorizing the Qur'an is a big challenge for the millenials due to their unstable emotion. Particularly, those who live in pesantren and at the same time pursue a college degree, they must adopt proper self-regulation in managing their times for memorizing, pesantren’s activities, and university lectures. This study examined 30 students of Tahfidz program at Pesantren al Hidayah Karangsuci who are also students of IAIN Purwokerto and STMIK AMIKOM Purwokerto. This study applied a qualitative phenomenological approach. The results showed that there were dynamics of self-regulation adapted by the students who memorized the Qur’an with traditional model in the pesantren. The digital age does not necesarrily abondon the traditional memorization model because the key to the sucess of the Qur’an memorization is self-regulation.
