<![CDATA[This study aims to explore the views of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers regarding the implementation of educational democracy at SMK 3 Padangsidimpuan. Democracy in education is seen as important to create a fair and inclusive learning environment, as well as providing equal opportunities for all students. This study uses a qualitative approach with an in-depth interview method with several experienced PAI teachers at the school. The data obtained were analyzed thematically to understand the perceptions of PAI teachers regarding the implementation of democratic principles in learning activities, both in terms of teaching materials, interactions with students, and learning methods used. The main objective of this study is to determine the extent to which the principles of educational democracy are implemented in PAI learning at SMK 3 Padangsidimpuan, as well as to identify the challenges and opportunities faced by teachers in implementing these principles in the classroom. The results of the study indicate that PAI teachers at this school are generally aware of the importance of democracy in education, although its implementation is still limited to certain aspects such as providing freedom of opinion to students and respecting differences of opinion. The obstacles faced include the lack of facilities and support in implementing educational democracy comprehensively. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of more democratic education, especially in the context of Islamic Religious Education, as well as being a reflection material for teachers and schools in building a more participatory and inclusive learning approach.]]>
