Preparedness Of The Qur’an Recitation (Tadarus) Program In Fostering Religious Character Among Vocational High School (Smk) Students: A Context And Input Evaluation Based On The Cipp Model

Abstract

The morning Qur'an recitation program at SMK Negeri 1 ROTA Bayat has run routinely, yet the suitability of its context and the adequacy of its inputs have not been examined. This study analyzes the Context and Input components of the program using the CIPP Model, chosen for its orientation toward program improvement. This descriptive qualitative study used written interviews with three purposively selected informants (the study club supervising teacher, the vice principal for curriculum, and the principal) and document checks. Data were analyzed with Spradley's domain and theme analysis against preset benchmarks. The informants agreed on the program's purpose and described student needs, but no dedicated assignment decree exists, the start time is unwritten, and prior reviews focused on implementation. Inputs comprise first-period teachers, a central audio system, and insufficient Qur'an copies, with no written guideline or dedicated budget. Of nine aspects, one is adequate, seven partially adequate, and one inadequate. The two domains meet in the absence of written foundations, goals not yet operationalized, a tight schedule with uneven implementer readiness, and reviews limited to implementation. The findings provide a basis for drafting an implementation guideline and strengthening school documents
