<![CDATA[General Background: Student discipline is an important component of character formation, particularly in Islamic education. Specific Background: At MI Hasyim Asy’ari Sukodono Sidoarjo, students demonstrate notable discipline during PAI learning, providing a basis for examining teacher practices. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have generally examined discipline through school policies and institutional culture, with limited attention to discipline specifically developed through PAI learning. Aims: This study analyzes PAI teachers’ instructional strategies and factors related to student discipline in learning, worship, and time management. Results: Using a qualitative case study, data from interviews, observations, and documentation show five integrated approaches: teacher modeling, classroom management, motivational guidance, educational sanctions, and religious routines. Novelty: The study examines discipline formation specifically within PAI learning in comparison with other classroom contexts. Implications: Consistent integration of these approaches, supported by family and social environments, can strengthen students’ disciplined behavior. Key Findings Highlights Teacher modeling reinforces students’ compliance with school rules. Educational sanctions and motivation support students’ behavioral awareness. Religious routines build responsibility through consistent practice. Keywords : PAI Learning, Student Discipline, Teacher Modeling, Educational Sanctions, Religious Routines]]>
