Analysis Of The Impact Of Digital Self-Regulation Deficit On The Quality And Productivity Of Al-Qur'an Memorization

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of digital self-regulation deficit on the quality and productivity of Al-Qur'an memorization among students at Rumah Tahfiz Darul Aulia. The study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, comprising data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that uncontrolled digital usage patterns among students characterized by prolonged duration, dominance of entertainment content, and usage during critical memorization periods significantly contribute to the emergence of self-regulation deficits. This deficit has a dual impact on students' tahfidz performance: in terms of memorization quality, it manifests as declining reading fluency, weakened memory retention, and reduced cognitive readiness during recitation sessions; and in terms of memorization productivity, it results in unmet daily ziyadah targets, inconsistent recitation schedules, and weakened intrinsic motivation. The study concludes that improving tahfidz performance in the digital era requires not only increasing memorization hours, but also strengthening students' self-regulation capacity to manage digital device use responsibly.
