Kreativitas Guru dalam Pembelajaran Fikih di MTS Nurul Ikhwan Tanjung Morawa

Abstract

This study describes teacher creativity in Fiqh learning in Grade VIII at MTs Nurul Ikhwan Tanjung Morawa, identifies supporting and inhibiting factors, and explains its impact on student learning activity. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that teacher creativity is reflected in lesson preparation, the use of varied methods—including explanation, question-and-answer, discussion, assignments, and practice—use of available learning media, contextual examples, and classroom interaction management. Supporting factors include school leadership support, teacher-student relationships, and available facilities. Obstacles include differences in student ability, limited attention among some students, constraints in media and instructional time, and students’ reluctance to ask questions. Teacher creativity positively affects students’ attention, participation in discussions, practical activities, and learning motivation, although participation is not yet evenly distributed. The study highlights the importance of varied and contextual Fiqh learning that provides equitable opportunities for participation.
