Education today encounters challenges that demand change in terms of teaching and learning approaches. The challenge also expects that Arabic teachers adjust the teaching approach to a more innovative teaching approaches and strategies and equip themselves with a wealth of knowledge and skills. In innovation, an innovative teacher needs to go through the progress of generating ideas in which the teacher will come up with ideas and think of ideas that are considered appropriate for innovation to solve the teaching and learning problems that have been identified among students. Therefore, this study aims to identify the source of ideas for teacher-generated innovation among primary-level Arabic language teachers to solve student learning problems and enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning (TnL) in the classroom. This study uses a qualitative approach with a multi-location case study design. A total of three primary school Arabic language teachers with the criteria of being innovative teachers were selected as the study participants. The data of this study were collected through in-depth interviews, documentary evidence and audio visual materials. Atlas Ti software and Channel Telegram applications have been used as research data managers to promote analysis of themes in the study findings. This study shows that there are 11 themes derived from the sources of ideas for teacher-generated innovation among primary-school Arabic language teachers. These sources include specific thinking practices, reading materials, TnL findings, unique stimuli, other subject material, intuition, open source (Internet), popular songs, television series shows, modifications of other people's ideas and observations. All these findings are expected to serve as a reference and guide for teachers who want to explore innovative ways to continually improve teacher professionalism.
