Abstract

Teachers who have professionalism are expected to deliver educational messages to their students well. Likewise, PAI teachers are expected to have competence so that PAI teachers can truly be teachers who are able to be good role models, worthy of digugu and imitation. PAI teachers play an important role in efforts to educate and develop competencies or abilities that exist in students. For teachers, it is necessary to know students' interest in learning with the aim of maintaining and increasing students' enthusiasm for learning. Learning outcomes that are not maximized are a tangible form of students who do not have a good interest in learning. The result of learning that is not maximized will affect the application in students' lives. This study focuses on knowing the role of PAI teachers in overcoming students' declining interest in learning in class VIII students at SMP Muhammadiyah 17 Ciputat school. This research is a field observation using descriptive qualitative method. The data was obtained through interviews and documentation. The result of this study is the declining level of interest in learning of grade VIII students at SMP Muhammadiyah 17 Ciputat which is influenced by various factors.
