Some of the results revealed out of the teachers' views according to the findings obtained from the survey data can be listed as follows: While beginning the lesson in terms of model reading, teachers in the Holy Quran courses perform model reading themselves first, use materials such as interactive whiteboards, mp3 players and etc. to constitute model reading and want their skilled students to perform that model reading again at the beginning phase of the courses. Some of the methods used by teachers in order to involve the students in lessons are as follows; random involvement starting from the student who has a good reading level, involving students in the lesson by giving priority to volunteering students, by involving the students collectively and randomly in the lesson. Some of the undesirable student behaviors that appear in Holy Quran courses are; speaking without permission, not listening the lesson, unwillingness of girl students in special situations (who have their period) to read the Quran, attending the courses without having taken ablution, interfering with the reading of their friends or laughing at them. Some of the approaches of teachers against undesirable student behaviors are; warning, inclining to the different activities, asking questions, warning with low grade, trying to make a strong feeling by eye-contact communication, voice raising/indignation, making the students read again and again, and making them sit down to the different seats. Some of the factors that affect negatively the teaching of the Quran in Imam Hatip High Schools are; level differences between students, having crowded classrooms, having inadequate time, and not having course every day. In this research, some recommendations have been given for practitioners and researchers depending on the results obtained from the study.
