<![CDATA[This study examines the transformation of learning methods in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) from conventional lecturing toward reflective dialogue as an interactive approach to strengthening student engagement and understanding of Islamic values. The study aims to analyze the role of PAI teachers in implementing reflective dialogue within classroom learning and to explore its contribution to student interaction and character development. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The participants consisted of PAI teachers and students involved in dialogic learning activities. The findings reveal that reflective dialogue significantly enhances classroom interaction by encouraging active student participation, critical thinking, and contextual understanding of PAI materials. Through reflective discussion, students were able to relate Islamic teachings to their daily experiences, thereby making learning more meaningful and relevant. In this process, PAI teachers functioned not only as knowledge transmitters but also as facilitators who created a communicative and student-centered learning environment. Furthermore, reflective dialogue contributed positively to the development of students’ character, particularly in fostering responsibility, respect, empathy, and awareness of Islamic moral values. The study concludes that reflective dialogue represents an effective pedagogical approach for improving the quality of Islamic Religious Education learning by promoting interactive communication, reflective thinking, and value internalization among students]]>
