Abstract

This study aims to describe the efforts of the Akidah Akhlak teacher in motivating students to improve their learning achievement at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Hidayatul Mubtadiin. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the Akidah Akhlak teacher implements various motivational strategies, including personal approaches, positive reinforcement, the use of diverse teaching methods, incorporation of inspirational Islamic stories, and continuous moral and spiritual guidance. The teacher also utilizes the religious atmosphere of the madrasah as an effective medium for character building and enhancing students’ intrinsic motivation. Several obstacles were identified, such as differences in students’ abilities, limited learning support from their families, and the influence of digital media. Nevertheless, the teacher’s efforts significantly contribute to increasing students’ enthusiasm for learning, discipline, and academic achievement. The study concludes that the role of the Akidah Akhlak teacher is crucial in fostering student motivation and improving learning outcomes holistically.
