Developing a critical and creative attitude is a challenge in the world of education in Indonesia, because this attitude is important to help individuals solve problems. MA An-Nur Bululawang seeks to shape students' critical and creative character, thereby encouraging researchers to examine the role of PAI teachers in this process. This research focuses on three aspects, namely students' critical and creative attitudes when learning PAI, teachers' strategies in forming these attitudes, and the obstacles teachers face. Using a qualitative approach and case study, this research was conducted at MA An-Nur Bululawang using data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation and documentation, as well as data analysis based on Miles and Huberman's theory. The research results show that students' critical and creative attitudes are developed by prioritizing moral development. Teacher strategies include the use of varied learning methods and resources. However, some of the obstacles faced include teachers' lack of understanding of student characteristics, limited facilities, and lack of parental support. This research highlights the important role of teachers in developing critical and creative attitudes through innovative teaching methods and adequate support.
