Abstract
This study examines the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers in teaching the Arabic Pegon script at Chongraksat Wittaya School, located in Pattani, Southern Thailand. The Pegon script holds significant value as both a cultural heritage and a marker of Islamic identity among the Pattani Malay community. The objectives of this research are twofold: to describe the teachers' roles in Pegon instruction and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors associated with it. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman framework, which consists of data condensation, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The findings reveal three primary roles of PAI teachers: as educators, facilitators, and motivators. Supporting factors include a conducive sociocultural environment, teacher motivation and background, as well as family and community support. Conversely, inhibiting factors involve linguistic challenges and the growing detachment of younger generations from the Malay language tradition. The study concludes that although PAI teachers at Chongraksat Wittaya School play an active role in preserving the Pegon script, there remains a need to strengthen more adaptive teaching methods.
