Kompetensi Kepribadian Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam Dalam Meningkatkan Motivasi Belajar Siswa Di Min 1 Kecamatan Muara Tiga

Abstract

This research aims to identify the relationship between the personality competence of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers and student learning motivation at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) 1 Muara Tiga District. This research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. This research sample consisted of 150 students from grades 4, 5, and 6 who were chosen randomly. Data was collected through a questionnaire that measured PAI teachers' personality competencies using a Likert scale and student learning motivation. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistical techniques and Pearson correlation. The results of the research show that there is a significant relationship between the personality competence of PAI teachers and student learning motivation in MIN 1 Muara Tiga District (r = 0.75, p < 0.05). These findings show that the higher the PAI teacher's personality competency, the higher the student's learning motivation. In addition, certain aspects of PAI teachers' personality competencies, such as empathy, integrity, and communication skills, have a significant impact on student learning motivation. This research has important implications in the context of improving the quality of education in MIN 1 Muara Tiga District. PAI teachers who have good personality competencies can be effective motivators for students in increasing their learning motivation. Therefore, it is recommended that schools pay greater attention to developing the personality competencies of PAI teachers through training and continuous professional development. Further research can be conducted to explore other factors that also contribute to student learning motivation in Islamic education environments.
