Preparing prospective Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers requires instructional resources that not only explain professional concepts but also connect them with authentic teaching practice. However, learning materials specifically designed for undergraduate students enrolled in the Teacher Professional Development (PPG) course remain limited, as most available resources focus on in-service teacher education and offer fragmented content. This study developed and evaluated a teaching material for undergraduate PAI students using a Research and Development (R&D) approach adapted from Borg and Gall. The development process consisted of seven stages: needs analysis, planning, product development, expert validation, product revision, user testing, and final revision. The teaching material was reviewed by subject-matter, media, and language experts before being implemented with 40 undergraduate PAI students. Unlike existing materials, the developed teaching material integrates pedagogical and professional competencies with reflective learning activities, authentic classroom cases, and Islamic educational values within a single instructional framework. Expert validation indicated that the teaching material was highly feasible, with scores of 96.8% from subject-matter experts, 95.5% from the media expert, and 97.2% from the language expert. User testing also produced a high feasibility score, confirming that the teaching material was practical, understandable, and appropriate for classroom use. These findings suggest that the developed teaching material provides a comprehensive learning resource that supports the preparation of prospective PAI teachers while strengthening the quality of PPG courses in higher education.
