<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the role of teachers as motivators in improving students’ understanding of Fiqh Worship learning in class X SMA Muhammadiyah Darul Arqom Karanganyar for the academic year 2025/2026 and to identify the obstacles faced by teachers in carrying out this role. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects were Fiqh teachers and class X students at SMA Muhammadiyah Darul Arqom Karanganyar. The results showed that teachers played an active role as motivators through verbal motivation, spiritual motivation, exemplary behavior, educational rewards and punishments, and interactive learning methods such as discussions, direct practice, and audio-visual media. This role was able to increase students’ enthusiasm, participation, and understanding of Fiqh Worship materials. The obstacles faced by teachers included differences in students’ backgrounds, low learning motivation among some students, and the characteristics of modern students who are easily distracted. To overcome these obstacles, teachers implemented personal approaches, communication with parents, and humanistic approaches in learning. Therefore, teachers as motivators have an important role in improving students’ understanding and religious awareness in Fiqh Worship learning.]]>
