Abstract

This study explores the innovation of Islamic Education (PAI) teachers in shaping students’ character based on Islamic values at MTs Sabilul Huda Badegan Ponorogo. The research addresses the phenomena of moral decline, lack of discipline, and weakening social responsibility among students, which necessitate innovative strategies from PAI teachers. The aims of this study are: (1) to describe the forms of Islamic Education teacher innovation in building students’ Islamic character, and (2) to analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors of such innovation. This qualitative descriptive research utilizes observation, interviews, documentation, and triangulation, involving PAI teachers, school principals, curriculum vice principals, parents, and students as research subjects. Data were analyzed through data collection, reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that teacher innovations are implemented through intracurricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities oriented toward forming religious, disciplined, and responsible character. Supporting factors include teacher competence, a religious school environment, and support from institutions, parents, and communities. Inhibiting factors comprise limited facilities, time constraints, diverse student characters, and curriculum changes. The research contributes to strengthening character education practices in Islamic schools.
