Abstract
Teaching the Qur'an is one of the important goals taken into consideration by the country's Ministry of Education. From the first grade of elementary school to the end of high school, the Textbooks of the Qur’an (9 texbooks), the Heavenly Gifts (8 texbooks) and Islamic Education (3 texbooks), are three titles dedicated to teaching the Qur’an and Islamic education. Despite the considerable time and content of the Qur’anic lessons, the desired goals of teaching the Qur’an have not been achieved, and most of the students do not have the necessary knowledge of the Qur’an after obtaining the diploma and finishing high school, and they do not even have sufficient skill to simply recite the Qur’an. This research, using descriptive and analytical method, with the objective of pathology of teaching the Qur’an in the textbooks, seeks to answer the question, what are the social harms and factors of failure in teaching Quran in education?
The results of the research indicate that this failure is due to four factors: 1. Incorrect structures governing the teaching of the Quran; 2. Inappropriate educational content, such as the lack of necessary comprehensiveness, lack of appropriateness with the age of the student, long training time, lack of logical course of content, etc. 3. Inappropriate and ineffective educational methods with the stages of growth and development of students 4. The use of incompetent and non-specialized teachers. On the basis of this, it is necessary to determine the new, scientific and appropriate content and methods that can be a suitable model for compiling the content of the Qur’anic texbooks and Islamic teachings, and presenting them as solutions to improve the teaching method of the Qur’an.
