Competence of Qur’an Hadith Subject Teachers: A Literature Review

Abstract

This study aims to systematically examine the social competence of teachers of Qur’an Hadith subjects in Indonesia through a literature review approach. Social competence is one of the essential pillars of teacher professionalism, which includes the ability to communicate effectively, adapt to cultural diversity, and build harmonious relationships with students, peers, parents, and the community. The study results show that the foundation of social competence of Qur’an Hadith teachers is very close to Islamic values, such as deliberation, tolerance, and an inclusive attitude. Teachers with high social competence are proven to create a conducive learning atmosphere, increase student participation, and strengthen students’ character and morals. However, developing teachers’ social competencies still faces challenges, including training limitations, administrative burdens, and adaptation to learning technology. This study recommends the need for integrated training based on Islamic values and technology, as well as policies that support the strengthening of teachers’ social competence. Thus, developing the social competence of Qur’an Hadith teachers is an essential foundation in realizing quality Islamic education relevant to the needs of multicultural societies in Indonesia.
