Islamic Religious Education and Character (PAIBP) plays an important role in building students' character and morals. In responding to the challenges of the 21st century, which require critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity skills (4C), innovative learning methods are needed to foster students' social and emotional attitudes. One effective method is the Gallery Walk, which encourages students to work together in groups, present their work, and interact actively with one another. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Gallery Walk method in PAIBP learning and its impact on the collaborative abilities of XI MPLB II students at SMK Negeri 2 Blora. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation that are analyzed interactively. The research results indicate that Gallery Walk is quite effective in enhancing students' collaborative abilities, as evidenced by increased engagement in discussions, mutual respect, and the ability to give and receive feedback. Furthermore, this method also strengthens students' understanding of PAIBP material and supports the development of Islamic character, including tolerance, responsibility, and social care. Therefore, Gallery Walk is an appropriate alternative strategy for PAIBP learning, aligned with the demands of 21st-century skills and supporting cooperative learning theory based on social interaction. The use of this method is expected to facilitate more effective learning and have a positive impact on students' character.
