Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of Islamic Religious Education teacher creativity on student learning achievement at MTs Miftahussa'adah Almusri II, Nusa Makmur Village, Air Kumbang District, Banyuasin Regency. Teacher creativity is considered as one of the main factors that can create an interesting, innovative, and effective learning atmosphere so that it can significantly increase student motivation and learning outcomes. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design to determine the relationship and influence between teacher creativity variables and student learning achievement. The research sample consisted of 60 students selected using a purposive sampling technique, while teacher creativity data were collected through observation and questionnaires filled out by students. Learning achievement data were obtained from the last semester report card scores as an indicator of student academic success. Data analysis was carried out using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test and simple linear regression to measure the level of relationship and influence between the two variables. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between Islamic Religious Education teacher creativity and student learning achievement with a correlation value of 0.72 and a significance value of p <0.05. This indicates that increasing teacher creativity in the learning process makes a significant contribution to improving student learning achievement. Based on these findings, the study recommends that schools continue to encourage teachers to develop creativity in learning methods in order to create a more dynamic learning environment and support students' academic success.
