ABSTRAK

Student engagement plays an important role in supporting effective learning. Therefore, pre-service teachers are expected to implement active learning strategies that encourage students to participate actively during classroom activities. This study aimed to explore pre-service teachers' experiences in engaging students through active learning strategies and to identify the challenges they faced during classroom practice. This study employed a qualitative approach using narrative inquiry. The participants were two pre-service teachers from the English Education Department of Antasari State Islamic University who were undertaking their Teaching Practice II (PPL II) at MAN 3 Banjar. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the participants implemented various active learning strategies, including question and-answer activities, gamification, and collaborative learning activities. Their experiences showed that active learning contributed to more interactive and student centered classrooms, increased students’ participation, and strengthened teacher student communication. The participants also experienced various emotional responses, including nervousness, anxiety, confidence, satisfaction, and dissatisfaction, which gradually shaped their professional growth. Furthermore, the implementation of active learning enhanced their teaching confidence, adaptability, classroom interaction skills, and reflective practice. However, several challenges were identified, including the gap between theory and classroom reality, classroom management difficulties, time management issues, and self-confidence concerns when dealing with diverse classroom situations. This study concludes that implementing active learning strategies is a dynamic and professionally enriching experience for pre-service teachers. While active learning can effectively promote student engagement, its successful implementation requires adaptability, confidence, and effective classroom management skills.
