This study aims to identify the forms of exemplary behavior demonstrated by Akidah Akhlak teachers in fostering student discipline, as well as to examine the factors influencing the implementation of discipline among students. The research implements a qualitative field study approach, applying data collection techniques in forms of observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were then analyzed and validated through triangulation. The findings show that the exemplary behavior of Akidah Akhlak teachers plays a crucial role in fostering student discipline. Teachers consistently provide real-life examples in their daily activities at school. The implementation of student discipline is influenced by various supporting and inhibiting factors that are interconnected, forming a complex system. Overall, teacher exemplarity holds a central and most effective role in developing discipline. Consistent role modeling touches students’ hearts, leading them to view discipline not merely as an obligation, but as a reflection of responsibility, respect for time, and noble character.]]>
