Abstract

This study explores the implementation of inclusive pedagogical strategies by Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers to improve student engagement at SMPN 2 Bangkala. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that teachers applied diverse methods, including contextual learning, differentiated instruction, character-based learning, and digital integration, to foster inclusive learning environments. Despite challenges such as varying student readiness and limited infrastructure, inclusive strategies were found to promote student participation, moral development, and enthusiasm for learning. This research contributes practical insights for Islamic education practitioners seeking to foster inclusive and engaging IRE classrooms.
