Student engagement plays a pivotal role in determining the effectiveness of Islamic Religious Education (IRE), particularly in moral education that seeks to internalize ethical values and shape students’ character. However, empirical evidence from elementary school contexts indicates that low levels of engagement often hinder meaningful learning outcomes. This study examines the issue of limited student engagement in IRE learning on Morality in Daily Social Interaction and its implications for students’ conceptual understanding. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis at SDN 38 Bonto Perak, Pangkep Regency. The findings reveal that low student engagement is primarily associated with teacher-centered instructional practices, limited use of learning media, and insufficient variation in instructional stimuli, resulting in superficial understanding of moral concepts. To address these challenges, this study proposes two integrated instructional strategies. The first is a constructivist approach through the implementation of the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model, which facilitates active participation, peer interaction, and collaborative knowledge construction. The second is a behaviorist approach through the application of positive reinforcement and varied instructional stimuli, including verbal praise, simple rewards, visual media, and context-based narratives relevant to students’ daily experiences. These strategies are expected to enhance students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral engagement, thereby strengthening conceptual understanding and supporting the internalization of moral values in IRE learning. This study contributes to pedagogical discourse by offering a contextual instructional framework for improving student engagement in elementary-level moral education
