Teaching and Facilitation (PdPc) is a comprehensive approach of communication and receiving knowledge involving closely related teachers and students. In Malaysia, the Ministry of Education introduced the Kelas Kemahiran al-Quran (Quranic Art Class) in secondary schools with aim to produce knowledgeable students who understand and practice Quranic culture in daily life activities. However, if the elements of kemahiran insaniah (soft skills) are ignored in its approach, achieving this goal i.e. producing knowledgeable student can be difficult. One of the national goals is producing a balanced and holistic Muslim student who can accomplish his responsibilities as a human resource or human capital. The students are not only well-versed in the Quranic studies, but also possesses the characteristics of an ideal Muslim. Hence this paper aims to examine the application of the elements of soft skills in the Quranic Art Class (KKQ) course which has been introduced by the ministry to the National Religious Secondary School (SMKA) and Aliran Agama (Religious Stream) curriculum based on the CIPP assessment concept. In collecting data, this qualitative study employs document analysis, semi-structured but in-depth interviews, target group interviews as well as observational method. The preliminary findings show that only two elements of soft skills, professional ethics and moral values, are applied in the PdPc of Quranic Art Class in the secondary school.
