Teachers are expected to utilize informatics as an innovative instructional strategy to enhance students' religious understanding. This study aims to describe the utilization of informatics as a strategy employed by Islamic Religious Education teachers to improve students' religious understanding at MI Raudlatul Hasan Maron Kulon. The research adopted a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the school principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and students. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while source and technique triangulation were employed to ensure data trustworthiness. The findings reveal that teachers integrated various informatics-based learning media, including digital presentations, educational videos, internet resources, educational applications, and online communication platforms to support the learning process. These strategies increased students' learning motivation, active participation, and understanding of religious concepts by presenting learning materials in a more engaging and contextual manner.
