Integrating Deep Learning-Oriented Instruction in Indonesian EFL Classrooms: Teachers’ Perspectives

2026-01-29T09:24:16+00:00

This study examines English teachers’ perspectives on the integration of deep learning-oriented instruction in Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Drawing on a qualitative research design, the study involved three senior high school English teachers from a public school in North Aceh, Indonesia. The findings indicate that teachers conceptualize deep learning as an approach that emphasizes critical thinking, inquiry, collaboration, problem-solving, and reflective learning rather than surface-level knowledge acquisition. In classroom practice, deep learning was enacted through inquiry-based activities, problem-based tasks, collaborative learning, and reflective practices that encouraged meaningful language use and student engagement. Teachers perceived deep learning as beneficial for enhancing learner autonomy, communicative competence, and higher-order thinking skills. However, several challenges were identified, including limited instructional time, heterogeneous student proficiency, and resource constraints. To address these challenges, teachers adopted adaptive strategies such as scaffolding, differentiated instruction, and flexible task design.

Ayat Alkitab dan Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak Umat Katolik: Pendekatan Kualitatif dengan Theory of Planned Behavior

2026-01-29T09:24:16+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of biblical verses on tax compliance among Catholic taxpayers. A qualitative approach was employed using primary data collected through in-depth interviews with priests and friars as key informants, as well as parish members and church staff in Tulungagung. The findings indicate that biblical verses understood by Catholic believers contain two domains of obligation, namely obligations to God and to the state, which serve as moral foundations in interpreting tax compliance. Although the Gospel verses have diverse narrative contexts, their core teachings on obligation remain consistent. Awareness of tax compliance is not solely derived from religious understanding but is also strengthened by individual willingness and internal motivation. From the perspective of the Theory of Planned Behavior, biblical verses contribute to shaping attitudes and strengthening intentions to comply. The novelty of this study lies in its qualitative examination of tax compliance among Catholic taxpayers based on biblical values.

Pendekatan Psikologis dalam Pendidikan Inklusif: Studi tentang Strategi Guru Menangani Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus

2026-02-03T06:19:33+00:00

This study aims to examine the application of psychological approaches by teachers in inclusive learning at Gamaliel Christian Kindergarten in Palu. The study uses a qualitative method with a focus on teachers' strategies in assisting children, especially children with special needs. The results of the study show that teachers have made efforts to understand the emotional and social conditions and developmental characteristics of children through a personal approach, play-based learning methods, the use of simple learning media, and the provision of positive reinforcement. These strategies help to create a safe, comfortable, and inclusive learning environment for all students. However, the implementation of psychological approaches has not been optimal due to limitations in teachers' competencies in inclusive education, a lack of specialized training, the unavailability of professional assistants, and limitations in supporting facilities and infrastructure. These conditions have resulted in individual assistance for children with special needs not being carried out to the fullest extent possible.

Transformasi Sikap Hidup Masyarakat Majemuk dalam Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen

2026-02-03T09:15:16+00:00

Indonesia, as a multicultural nation, has diversity that includes religious, ethnic, cultural, racial, and gender diversity, as well as socio-political dynamics. This plurality is a social asset, but it also has the potential to cause conflict if it is not managed through an inclusive and tolerant attitude. This article aims to analyze the transformation of the attitudes of a diverse society through Christian Religious Education in the context of Indonesian education. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method through a critical analysis of literature on multicultural education, recognition politics, inclusive religious education, and national education regulations. The results of the study show that Christian Religious Education plays a strategic role in shaping the character of students so that they are able to live peacefully side by side in a pluralistic society. However, diversity education still tends to be limited to religious and ethnic aspects, while other dimensions such as cultural recognition, gender equality, democracy, and social justice have not been comprehensively integrated. Therefore, Christian Religious Education needs to be developed through a broader and more dialogical multicultural approach.

Gamifikasi Non Digital dalam pembentukan Karakter Islami pada Siswa di PKBM KBRI Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

2026-02-06T08:29:34+00:00

This study aims to describe the implementation of non-digital gamification in strengthening students’ Islamic religious character. The research employed a qualitative approach. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of classroom activities. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that non-digital classroom activity-based gamification integrated with Islamic values can increase students’ learning engagement and strengthen Islamic religious character, particularly in honesty (sidiq), responsibility (amanah), discipline (nidhom), learning motivation, and social cooperation (ta’awun). Teachers play a key role as facilitators by linking game-based activities with the habituation of religious attitudes during the learning process. Therefore, non-digital gamification can serve as a relevant learning innovation for strengthening Islamic religious character in non-formal education settings.

This research confirms that structured, repetitive, and example-based character development can help migrant children build moral and social stability.

Pembentukan Nilai Sosial Generasi Z Melalui Praktik Perjamuan Kudus Anak di Gereja Kristen Jawa Dagen Palur Karanganyar

2026-02-11T08:28:00+00:00

This study aims to examine the formation of social and spiritual values among Generation Z children through the practice of Children’s Holy Communion at Gereja Kristen Jawa (GKJ) Dagen Palur Karanganyar as a contextual model of faith education. This research employs a qualitative approach. The findings reveal that Children’s Holy Communion plays a significant role in shaping both social and spiritual values. Socially, children demonstrate increased empathy, patience, care for others, discipline, responsibility, and a sense of belonging within family and church communities. Spiritually, they experience a deeper understanding of faith, greater appreciation of the symbolic meaning of bread and wine, and a growing awareness of their identity as members of the body of Christ. The formation of these values occurs through a continuous process that includes pre-communion instruction, active participation in worship, and post-communion involvement in church life. These findings indicate that Children’s Holy Communion functions not merely as a liturgical ritual, but as a holistic means of faith formation that integrates cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual dimensions of Generation Z children.

Local Traditions in Shaping Tolerance and Harmony Among Religious Communities: A Case Study in the Village of Sadar Kerukunan Batu Nindan

2026-02-11T08:54:02+00:00

The issue of interreligious tolerance is a significant challenge in multicultural societies, where differences in beliefs can potentially lead to social friction if not managed wisely. In this context, this study aims to analyse the role of the local traditions of the Batu Nindan village community in shaping and maintaining interreligious tolerance through the perspectives of tolerance theory and conflict theory. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document study techniques, which were analysed thematically with source and method triangulation. The findings show that local traditions function as a social adhesive that encourages everyday interfaith interaction through communal practices such as customary deliberation, cultural celebrations, and cross-faith mutual aid. These traditions also facilitate intergenerational transmission of tolerance by cultivating empathy, mutual respect, and religious moderation through social customs and community-based learning. In addition, they provide a culturally legitimate mechanism for preventing and resolving social tensions through peaceful deliberation led by traditional and religious figures, grounded in principles of fairness and social justice. Local rituals and shared symbols further reinforce collective identity and social legitimacy, renewing residents’ commitment to harmony and cohesion. Theoretically, these results demonstrate that Batu Nindan traditions operate as a practical platform for enacting tolerance values and managing potential conflict, contributing to an inclusive and harmonious social order.

Using a qualitative research approach with a multiple case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis in selected Islamic educational institutions. The findings indicate that the implementation of UDL principles significantly enhances student engagement, accessibility to learning materials, motivation, and participation. Moreover, UDL aligns with core Islamic educational values such as justice (‘adl), compassion (rahmah), and respect for learners’ dignity. This study concludes that integrating UDL into Islamic education curricula is a strategic approach to fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments and contributes to ongoing discussions on inclusive educational reform within religious education contexts.

Kritik Terhadap Gerakan Pentakosta Ketiga Berdasarkan Prinsip Teologi Reformed tentang Kesinambungan dan Ketidaksinambungan Karya Roh Kudus

2026-02-20T02:09:54+00:00

This research aims to analyze and critique the Third Pentecostal Movement based on the Reformed theological concepts of continuity and discontinuity of the work of the Holy Spirit. This research was conducted using narrative analysis as an approach to discover and analyze the assumptions behind the narratives presented by supporters of the Third Pentecostal Movement. Through this approach, this research found that there is no continuity between the Third Pentecost and the true Pentecost in the Book of Acts, and even the nature of the Third Pentecost contradicts the nature of the true Pentecost, because this movement ignores objective efforts in the form of strict exegesis of the Bible to understand Pentecost and the various accompanying phenomena. The hope for true spiritual revival must always be accompanied by objective efforts in the form of strict biblical exegesis, which is reflected in apostolic preaching and rigorous doctrinal teaching. Because apostolic preaching and strict doctrinal teaching are the means of grace used by the Holy Spirit to protect the church from the spirit of revivalism and to produce genuine revival.

Perilaku Wisata Generasi Z dalam Konstruksi Eksistensi Digital di Kota Bengkulu: Studi Fenomenologi

2026-03-03T07:03:16+00:00

This study aims to understand how Generation Z in Bengkulu City interprets tourism activities as part of constructing their existence and identity in the digital space. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to explore the subjective experiences of informants in depth. The results show that Generation Z's tourism experience is not interpreted solely as a recreational activity, but as a multidimensional experience encompassing emotional needs for healing, strengthening social relations through togetherness, and the need for self-expression and recognition in the digital space. Exposure to visual content on social media acts as an initial stimulus that shapes destination interests and preferences, which are then subjectively processed based on the individual's emotional state and social needs before resulting in a travel decision. Documentation and content upload activities are an integral part of the tourism experience, as through this process informants receive social responses and validation.
