Abstract

This study aimed to describe the role of teachers in fostering students' learning motivation in Pancasila Education for fourth-grade students at SDN 182/II Mulya Jaya and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The participants consisted of the fourth-grade teacher, the principal, and students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, technique triangulation, and member checking. The findings revealed that teachers play a significant role as motivators, facilitators, mentors, classroom managers, and role models in enhancing students' learning motivation. The strategies implemented included applying varied teaching methods, providing motivation and positive reinforcement, giving appreciation and rewards, relating learning materials to students' daily lives, creating an enjoyable learning atmosphere, and offering individual guidance to students experiencing learning difficulties. Supporting factors included the support of the principal, collaboration with parents, a conducive school environment, and teachers' commitment. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors included students' low learning interest, limited learning media, and differences in students' characteristics and learning abilities. Therefore, teachers play a crucial role in improving students' learning motivation in Pancasila Education at the elementary school level.
