However, there are a number of teachers who are actively innovating. They are known as Innovative Teachers. What triggers them to actively innovate? This phenomenon is explored using qualitative method. Two Innovative Islamic Education Teachers (IIET) were interviewed in-depth. The findings showed that IIET began to innovate after being coerced by administrators in their schools. School administrators have made innovation as work target or performance indicator and organized innovation competitions between committees. The initiative taken have built IIET's experience and confidence to continuously introduce innovation in their teaching. As a result, they continue to innovate and provide guidance to other teachers to engage in innovation. The research shows that administrators at MOE, State Education Department, District Education Office and schools level need to encourage teachers to improve the quality of teaching through innovation.otherGuru inovatif, inovasi pengajaran, peranan pentadbirArticle111841
