THE INFLUENCE OF PARENTS' DEMOCRATIC PARENTING PATTERNS ON STUDENTS' MEMORIZING THE QUR'AN

This study aims to investigate the effect of democratic parenting on students'
achievement in memorizing the Qur'an. It specifically explores how parenting styles
characterized by support and autonomy contribute to children's motivation,
concentration, and consistency in Qur'anic memorization. Employing a quantitative
approach with a survey method, data were obtained from 87 students of Islamic
boarding schools and their parents using structured questionnaires. The data were
analyzed through simple linear regression to determine the relationship between
parenting style and memorization outcomes. The findings reveal that democratic
parenting has a statistically significant positive influence on students’ success in
memorizing the Qur'an. Parents who practice open communication, provide emotional
support, and engage their children in decision-making processes tend to enhance the
consistency and intrinsic motivation of their children in memorization. These results
underscore the importance of external factors, particularly parenting styles, in
reinforcing students' internal perseverance and religious commitment. The study
suggests that educational institutions and religious educators implement targeted
parenting programs to promote effective democratic parenting practices in support of
students' religious learning, particularly in Qur'anic memorization.
