<![CDATA[Learning Islamic Religious Education in elementary school is essential for developing pupils' moral fiber, especially their self-esteem. The purpose of this study is to outline the methods used by Islamic Religious Education instructors at Bladu Wetan State Elementary School to boost pupils' self-confidence. This study combined a case study methodology with a qualitative approach. Senior students, the principal, and instructors of Islamic Religious Education were among the subjects. Documentation, in-depth interviews, and observation were used to gather data. Data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing were all incorporated in the data analysis process. The findings demonstrated that educators used a range of techniques to boost students' self-esteem, including giving praise, practicing public speaking, conducting group discussions, role-modeling by teachers, individual approaches, and incorporating religious principles into everyday life. At the start, middle, and end phases of learning, these tactics were applied in a planned way. According to the study's findings, humanistic, participatory, and religious value-based teaching methods can boost primary school pupils' self-confidence. This study contributes both theoretically and practically: theoretically, it enriches the discourse on character education by integrating the development of self-confidence within Islamic educational frameworks; practically, it provides a contextual model of PAI teaching strategies that elementary school teachers can adopt to foster students' self-confidence through structured, value-oriented, and student-centred learning practices.]]>
