The research aims to determine the forms and processes of innovative learning implemented by Islamic Religious Education teachers to shaping the independent character of Generation Z. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques included interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The research findings indicate that innovative learning was implemented through various instructional methods, including Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Problem-Based Learning, group discussions, role-playing groups, students presentations, and the use of digital media. In addition, the learning process was student-centered, with the teacher acting as a facilitator. The innovative learning proved effective in shaping the independent character of Generation Z students, as demonstrated by their attitudes of responsibility, discipline, self-confidence, and the ability to manage the learning process independently.
