<![CDATA[ABSTRACT This study was motivated by the low implementation of filial attitudes toward parents among students, although the material has been taught in Akidah Akhlak learning. Learning activities that are still dominated by the lecture method cause students to lack meaningful and applicable learning experiences. This study aims to identify the implementation of the role playing method, its role in fostering students’ filial attitudes toward parents, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors in its application in Akidah Akhlak learning at MI Hidayatul Mubtadi’in Cibentang. This research employed a qualitative approach with data collection techniques consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of the role playing method was carried out through structured stages of planning, implementation, and evaluation. This method was able to improve students’ participation, empathy, confidence, and understanding of the importance of respecting and obeying parents. Supporting factors included students’ enthusiasm, teacher creativity, and a religious school environment, while the inhibiting factors were limited learning time and the low self-confidence of some students. This study indicates that the role playing method is effective in Akidah Akhlak learning to strengthen students’ character formation at the madrasah ibtidaiyah level.
