This study examines the strategies of Akidah Akhlak teachers in developing students' polite behavior in grade VIII at MTs Muhammadiyah Datarang, Tombolo Pao District, Gowa Regency. Polite behavior is an essential dimension of Islamic character education because it reflects respect, humility, empathy, discipline, and ethical communication in daily life. This research was motivated by the need to strengthen students' manners amid diverse family backgrounds, peer influence, and the growing impact of digital technology and gadgets. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the Akidah Akhlak teacher, the head of the madrasah, and grade VIII students. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was strengthened through source, technique, and time triangulation. The findings show that the development of students' polite behavior was carried out through classroom learning, personal and group approaches, habituation, teacher role modeling, advice, contextual learning, visual media, and integration with religious and extracurricular activities. School programs such as the 3S culture, Qur'an recitation before learning, congregational prayer, Hizbul Wathan, Tapak Suci, and Ikatan Pelajar Muhammadiyah supported the internalization of polite behavior. The main challenges included diverse student character, family background, peer pressure, gadget use, social media influence, and inconsistent supervision outside school. The study affirms that polite behavior development requires a comprehensive, collaborative, and sustainable strategy involving teachers, school leaders, parents, and the broader social environment.
