Abstract

This study examines the role of teachers as philosophers at MAS Babul Khairat, focusing on the teaching practices they implement and the challenges they face. The findings reveal that teachers at this madrasah not only serve as academic instructors but also as moral and intellectual mentors, integrating Islamic values into their teaching. They employ various innovative methods, such as discussions, group projects, and problem-based learning approaches, to foster critical and reflective thinking in students. Furthermore, teachers act as role models, demonstrating ethical behavior that students can internalize and apply in their own lives. However, the research identifies several challenges faced by teachers, including limited resources, high workloads, insufficient ongoing professional development, and pressure to meet high academic standards. These challenges underscore the need for greater institutional and governmental support, such as restructuring teacher responsibilities, enhancing educational resources, and providing continuous professional training. With adequate support, teachers at MAS Babul Khairat can further develop effective and innovative teaching practices, thereby enhancing their role as philosophers. This study confirms that with strong commitment and appropriate support, teachers can create a learning environment that promotes students' intellectual, moral, and spiritual development.
