<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the persistently low motivation to learn Islamic Religious Education among some female students at Pasaman Barat State High School 2. One of the efforts undertaken by the school to improve this motivation is through the religious extracurricular activity known as Forum Annisa. This study aims to determine whether or not the religious extracurricular activity (Forum Annisa) has an effect on the motivation to learn Islamic Religious Education (PAI) among female students at Pasaman Barat State High School 2. This study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational (ex post facto) research design. The study population consisted of all female students participating in the Forum Annisa extracurricular activity at Pasaman Barat State High School No. 2. The sampling technique used was saturation sampling, meaning that the entire population was included in the study sample. Data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires whose validity and reliability had been tested using SPSS version 26. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including Spearman’s rank correlation test, because the research data were not normally distributed. The results of the study indicate that there is a positive correlation between participation in the Forum Annisa extracurricular activities and the motivation of female students at Pasaman Barat State High School No. 2 to study Islamic Religious Education. The more actively the students participate in Forum Annisa activities, the higher their motivation to study Islamic Religious Education. The Forum Annisa extracurricular activity helps boost students’ enthusiasm for learning, their interest in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) classes, their discipline, their sense of responsibility, and the reinforcement of religious values in daily life. Thus, Forum Annisa can serve as an effective school program to support increased motivation in Islamic Religious Education.]]>
