Moral decadence among adolescents has become a serious issue in the educational environment, marked by a decline in behavior, ethics, and character. This phenomenon is increasingly visible in various forms of student misconduct that disrupt both learning processes and social harmony in schools. This study aims to identify the forms of moral decadence among students and examine the collaboration between Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers and Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers in addressing these issues. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings reveal that moral decadence among students includes behaviors such as fighting, bullying, smoking, stealing, truancy, and violations of school rules. To address these problems, collaboration between PAI and BK teachers is implemented through preventive and curative efforts. Preventive measures include religious habituation activities, counseling services, disciplinary monitoring, and awareness programs, while curative actions involve direct guidance, behavioral monitoring, and counseling interventions. The study highlights that effective collaboration between teachers plays a crucial role in reducing moral deviations among students. The implications of this research suggest that integrated efforts among educators, supported by school policies and parental involvement, are essential in fostering students’ moral development and creating a positive, disciplined, and value-oriented educational environment for all learners in schools.
