PERAN MAHASISAWA PRAKTIK PENGALAMAN LAPANGAN DALAM MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR DI PESANTREN FATH DARUT TAFSIR

Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of student-teachers during the Field Teaching Practice Program (PPL) in enhancing students’ learning motivation at Pondok Pesantren Fath Darut Tafsir. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through classroom observations, reflective journals, and informal interactions with students and supervising teachers. The student-teacher was involved in teaching various subjects such as Dur?s al-Lughah 1, Arabic Language, Fiqh, and Indonesian Language for Grades 7 and 8. Beyond classroom teaching, the student also participated in daily pesantren activities, including morning and evening halaqah, Quran memorization sessions (mut?n), and assisting in the RUQFI (Rumah Quran Fath Darut Tafsir) program for local children. Additionally, the student engaged in extracurricular events such as Muhadarah Akbar, camping, and the inauguration of the Student Executive Board (BES). Several strategies were implemented to boost student motivation, such as integrating educational games, vocabulary memorization assignments among peers, and using video materials in Fiqh lessons to substitute hands-on practice due to time limitations. The findings indicate that the student-teacher’s active involvement and communicative approach contributed to a more engaging and emotionally supportive learning environment, increasing student enthusiasm, participation, and motivation to learn.
