Abstract
At the end of December 2019, a very dangerous type of virus has emerged, the virus which is currently known as the novel coronavirus-2019 or 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) with a relatively fast spread rate. It takes a high awareness of each individual to participate in the process of preventing the disease. Thus, the focus of this research is to answer the question of how the concept of ta^lim andragogy is based on Science and Al-Quran Literacy as an Effort to Strengthen Awareness to Prevent Covid-19. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods through literature review. Thus the data used and studied in this study comes from text, both in the form of manuscript text (books, magazines, journals, newspapers, etc.) or digital text. Ta^lim andragogy is a non-formal teaching-learning process for adults with learning centered on the ustadz/kyai (teacher). Therefore, the content and learning strategies are entirely the responsibility of the cleric (teacher). This activity continues during the COVID-19 pandemic with a limited number of participants. Theoretically, ta^lim andragogy, namely learning in adults has the potential as an alternative in increasing this awareness. For this reason, andragogy ta^lim must be modified in such a way, namely integrated between the values of the Qur^an with scientific values, so that it takes the form of a new model of ta^lim, namely ta^lim andragogy based on Qur^anic literacy and scientific literacy.
