This project aims to enhance the Pendidikan Moral curriculum in secondary schools by integrating a more engaging and entertaining teaching platform. An online survey was conducted across selected primary schools, gathering insights from students, teachers, and parents regarding their perceptions of the Pendidikan Moral subject. The findings revealed a significant level of boredom among respondents, primarily due to the traditional teaching methods that rely heavily on memorizing text notes. As a result, the overwhelming consensus among participants indicated a pressing need for innovative teaching strategies that move beyond rote learning. The study identifies and proposes a new teaching method designed to promote active participation and interest in the Pendidikan Moral subject, thereby increasing student engagement and comprehension. By adopting this fresh approach, educators can foster a more dynamic learning environment that resonates with modern students. Ultimately, this project serves as a foundational step towards revitalizing the teaching of Pendidikan Moral, establishing a framework for continuous improvement in educational practices. It underscores the importance of adapting to the evolving needs of students in a rapidly changing world.
