Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the reasons for the weakness of the

students of Islamic Education specialization at Al- Qud Open University in

mastering the skills of reading and reciting the Holy Quran, and to suggest

a proposal for the treatment of those reasons from the students’ viewpoint of

and faculty members.

The researchers adopted a questionnaire as a tool for the study consisting

of 31 items distributed on three main domains: student, faculty member, and

courses. The questionnaire has been distributed on a random sample of male

and female students from the University (253 students) , and a sample of faculty

members (14) . The results showed that the main reasons for the weakness

of students in mastering the skills of reading and reciting the Holy Quran

from the students’ viewpoint are: lack of directions from faculty members to

them, lack of emphasis from faculty members on the need to master the skills

required, in addition to dealing with reciting and reading the Holy Quran

as other courses, without taking into consideration the importance of this

course, the assessment procedures of students are not commensurate with the

nature of the course, and faculty members do not follow the development of

students’ skills because of the large number of students in each class.

The faculty members believed that the reasons for the weakness of

students in the mastery of skills of reading and reciting the Holy Quran is

lack of students’ practicing and that many jobs do not require these skills.

Based on the results of the study, the researchers suggested a proposal

for the treatment of those causes. They recommended the need for further

studies in the field of reading and reciting of the Quran, utilizing all available

resources to develop those skills, and incorporating the skills of reciting and

reading in the classes in early stages of education
