The M-Solah Robot Module is a module specially developed for learning and facilitating (PdPc) solah. This module was developed based on the need to maximize mastery of the theory and practice of solah to enhance the level of practice of solah among students. The development of the module addresses the use of positive and negative reinforcement in the activities included in this module to encourage students to be actively involved in learning and facilitating (PdPc). Positive and negative reinforcement are two essential components of Skinner’s Operation Theory of Opposition. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the use of positive and negative reinforcement in education and to propose the implementation of the element in the development of the M-Solah Robot Module. This study was a qualitative study employing a document analysis method. The search for scientific materials such as journal articles, conference papers, theses in digital and non-digital forms was done using the keywords “positive reinforcement”, “negative reinforcement” and “Operation Theory of Skinner Operation”, “prayer” and “module”. The findings revealed that positive reinforcement could be implemented in the M-Solah Robot Module with the awarding of stars, awarding cards, honoring and praising from teachers or M-Solah Robot. Contrarily, the use of negative reinforcement could be executed with the granting of penalty cards, reprimanding, advising, giving time, and extra work during the learning and facilitating the process.
