The Role of Islamic Education Teachers in Strengthening Students' Understanding of Worship through Practical Approaches

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of Islamic Education (PAI) teachers in strengthening students' understanding of worship through practical approaches. One common issue in PAI learning is the lack of in-depth theoretical understanding without real-life application. Therefore, this study seeks to identify the practical approaches employed by PAI teachers to enhance students' comprehension of worship. The research method used is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews with PAI teachers, and documentation of teaching activities. The results show that practical approaches, such as worship simulations, daily prayer practices, and social activities, significantly improve students' understanding and engagement in worship. PAI teachers play a crucial role in facilitating more practical learning, enabling students to better comprehend the meaning and procedures of worship in depth.
