Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) memiliki peran strategis dalam membina moralitas dan spiritualitas generasi muda. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan peran guru PAI dalam membentuk siswa yang berakhlakul karimah di kelas VIII C SMP Islam Gandusari Trenggalek serta faktor yang memengaruhinya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan jenis penelitian lapangan (field research) pada Juni Juli 2022. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara dengan guru PAI dan siswa, serta dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, dengan pengujian keabsahan melalui triangulasi teknik dan sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru PAI berperan sebagai teladan dalam tutur kata, cara berpakaian, dan kedisiplinan; sebagai pemberi arahan dan nasihat; serta sebagai pembimbing melalui pembiasaan keagamaan, seperti doa dan surat pendek bersama, salat dhuha dan zuhur berjamaah, serta pengajian kitab kuning. Melalui peran tersebut guru menanamkan sifat sabar, kasih sayang, hemat, malu, berani, dan adil, yang menurut pengakuan siswa diterapkan antara lain dalam bentuk sabar menghadapi ujian, menyayangi teman, dan berani bertanya. Faktor yang memengaruhi peran guru PAI adalah keteladanan guru dan kerja sama antarstaf sekolah.

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a strategic role in developing the morality and spirituality of the younger generation. This study aims to describe the role of PAI teachers in shaping students' noble character (akhlakul karimah) in class VIII C of SMP Islam Gandusari Trenggalek and the factors that influence it. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a field research design conducted in June July 2022. Data were collected through observation, interviews with the PAI teacher and students, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, and validated through technique and source triangulation. The findings show that the PAI teacher acts as a role model in speech, dress, and discipline; as a giver of guidance and advice; and as a mentor through religious habituation, such as joint prayers and short surah recitation, congregational Dhuha and Dzuhur prayers, and classical Islamic text (kitab kuning) study. Through these roles the teacher instills patience, compassion, thrift, shyness (haya'), courage, and justice, which students report applying, for example, by being patient during exams, caring for friends, and daring to ask questions. The factors influencing the teacher's role are the teacher's role modeling and cooperation among school staff.
