Abstract

This study was motivated by a real problem in the Catholic Church in Indonesia, where homilies delivered by catechists are often considered boring, unstructured, and lacking in spiritual inspiration for the congregation. The main objective of this study is to offer practical solutions through the application of Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory (SLT), specifically through modeling methods to improve the preaching skills of catechists. The method used was qualitative discourse to explore Bandura's theory and in-depth interviews with active catechists in the regions of Java, Medan, Flores, and Sumba, who were selected using purposive sampling techniques. The results of the study show that catechists effectively use role models from various backgrounds to follow the four stages of modeling: attention, retention, behavior production, and motivation. Important elements studied include depth of content, structured thinking, use of humor, vocal techniques, and mastery of verbal and non-verbal language. By adopting this strategy, catechists are able to overcome the crisis of preaching and deliver a more lively and inspiring message to their listeners. As a suggestion for further research, it is recommended to examine the effectiveness of digital platforms as a source of modeling for young catechists and the impact of formal evaluation systems by the faithful on the professionalism of their preaching in order to ensure the quality of liturgical preaching in the future.

Abstract

In the community of West Wewewa, children's development and growth still receive little attention. Various life challenges arise among children and they often struggle to face them on their own. This study examines pedagogical patterns in child education in the West Wewewa community, Sumba-NTT, by combining local wisdom and the advice of the Book of Wisdom (the Book of Proverbs, the Book of Ecclesiastes, and the Book of Job). This review aims to offer a new perspective for Catholic families in educating children through the elaboration of local culture and the teachings of Scripture, so that in this way children do not feel they are struggling alone to face the reality of their life problems. The method used is a literature review study and an interview method via WhatsApp to several resource persons. The results show that parents in West Wewewa actively provide local wisdom advice to their children. This education is considered important because it passes on cultural values that motivate children in the future. In addition, this research offers a pedagogical approach that combines local culture with the advice of the Book of Wisdom in providing alternatives for educating the children of the West Wewewa community.Abstrak Dalam Masyarakat Wewewa Barat perkembangan dan pertumbuhan anak masih kurang mendapat perhatian.
