Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of creativity demonstrated by Islamic Education (PAI) teachers in the learning process and their impact on student motivation and learning outcomes at SMPIT Ummul Quro Bogor in the 2024–2025 academic year. The research used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that PAI teachers implemented various creative strategies, such as active learning methods (discussion, role play), interactive digital media, and the integration of Islamic values into teaching activities. These creative teaching methods positively influenced students' learning motivation, which was evident in their enthusiasm, active participation, and improved attendance and discipline in PAI classes. Furthermore, there was a significant increase in students' learning outcomes, reflected not only in academic achievement but also in their understanding and application of Islamic values in daily life. The findings of this research confirm that teacher creativity plays a vital role in creating an effective and enjoyable learning environment and is a key factor in enhancing the quality of Islamic education. Therefore, school support and teacher training are essential to foster and develop teaching creativity.
