Peran Guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen Dalam Meningkatkan Prestasi Belajar Siswa Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan Bhakti Insani Kota Bogor

Abstract: Christian Religious Education teachers are responsible for fostering intellectual development to enhance students' academic achievement. The decline in students' academic performance is caused by several factors, including a lack of understanding of the teacher's explanations, monotonous and less creative teaching methods, low learning motivation, excessive time spent playing games, and minimal parental or family attention. This study aims to examine the role of Christian Religious Education teachers in improving students' academic performance at SMK Bhakti Insani in Bogor City. The research method used is qualitative, employing a literature study approach, observation, and interviews. To achieve academic success, students require guidance, motivation, creative teaching methods, and attention from Christian Religious Education teachers. Therefore, collaboration between teachers, schools, and parents is essential in helping students enhance their academic performance.
