Personality Competence of Islamic Religious Education Teachers and Motivating Students to Learn

Abstract

The most important factor of a teacher is his personality. Because it is with that personality that a teacher can become an educator and coach for his students or even the opposite. Personality is an element that also determines the teacher's familiarity with his students. Because, this personality will be reflected in the attitude and words when fostering and guiding students. This research aims so that students can imitate a good teacher's personality and implement it in their daily lives, so that students can apply discipline and will have a bright impact on the future of the nation. This research uses a Quantitative approach with the literature review method. The results show that the personality competence of Islamic religious education teachers has a significant impact on student learning motivation. Teachers who have a steady, stable, mature, wise, authoritative and exemplary personality are able to create a conducive, supportive and inspiring learning atmosphere. A mature teacher personality not only helps students feel comfortable and confident in learning, but also motivates them to imitate the positive attitudes and behaviors exemplified by the teacher. The implication is that teachers should follow up with learning strategies that are inspirational, interactive and fun, to create a conducive atmosphere that spurs students' enthusiasm for learning.
