<![CDATA[This study aims to examine students’ perceptions of the teaching strategies used by Aqidah Akhlak teachers at MTs Kesuma LKMD and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting their implementation. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants consist of students and Aqidah Akhlak teachers. Data analysis involves data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students generally perceive the teaching strategies positively. Teachers are considered effective in delivering learning materials through lectures, question-and-answer sessions, discussions, and examples related to everyday life. These methods help students understand the material, participate more actively, and apply Aqidah Akhlak values in their daily activities. Opportunities to ask questions and express opinions also contribute to an active and communicative learning environment. Supporting factors include teachers’ ability to explain concepts clearly, their patient and communicative attitudes, the use of varied teaching methods, and learning media such as books, pictures, and videos. However, several obstacles remain, including materials that some students find difficult to understand, limited use of interactive learning media, and occasionally unconducive classroom conditions. To address these challenges, teachers re-explain difficult concepts, use simpler language, provide additional examples, and encourage students to ask questions. These findings highlight the importance of flexible teaching strategies that respond to students’ learning needs while supporting their understanding and application of religious and moral values.]]>
