Abstract

The evaluation process in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at the secondary school level frequently encounters challenges such as limited time, low student motivation, and inadequate assessment instruments. The misalignment between evaluation design and the holistic goals of Islamic education often results in assessments that fail to capture students’ moral and spiritual development. This study aims to analyze the role of teachers in addressing these evaluation constraints in secondary-level PAI learning. A literature review method was employed, analyzing academic articles published between 2020 and 2025 from databases such as Google Scholar, DOAJ, Sinta, and Scopus. The findings reveal that teachers play a crucial role in implementing effective evaluation strategies, including systematic planning, formative assessment, integration of digital technology, and student-centered support. These efforts contribute to more objective, meaningful, and holistic assessments that align with the core aims of Islamic education. In conclusion, empowering teachers in the evaluation process is essential to ensure assessments go beyond cognitive measurement and foster students’ religious values and moral character development.
