Abstract

This study aims to describe the strategies of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in instilling noble moral discipline among students, the forms of its implementation, and the supporting and inhibiting factors at SD Yapina Rancagoong Cianjur. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research informants consisted of the principal, Islamic Religious Education teacher, and students. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that PAI teachers implement noble moral discipline through exemplary behavior, habituation of religious practices, advice, motivation, supearvision, and the application of rewards and punishments. The implementation of noble moral discipline is reflected in students' punctuality, worship discipline, learning discipline, responsibility, politeness, and compliance with school regulations. Supporting factors include teacher role models, religious habituation programs, principal support, collaboration between school and parents, and a religious school environment. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include lack of parental supervision at home, peer influence, excessive gadget use, differences in students' backgrounds and characteristics, and limited instructional time. The study concludes that the successful cultivation of noble moral discipline requires synergy among teachers, schools, families, and the social environment through continuous and consistent character-building efforts.
