Abstract

Early childhood education is frequently approached through a technical-pedagogical lens without adequate philosophical foundations, while classical educational philosophy continues to operate in relative isolation from Christian educational theology. This gap constitutes the departure point of this study. This research aims to construct an integrative conceptual framework connecting three streams of classical educational philosophy (Perennialism, Essentialism, and Reconstructionism) with Christian educational theology for early childhood, employing “the Little One” as an anthropological metaphor denoting the human person in a state of becoming as a subject of Imago Dei. The method employed is a critical-philosophical literature study with an interdisciplinary approach between educational philosophy and Christian theology, conducted through systematic stages of literature exploration, conceptual categorization, critical-comparative analysis, and theological synthesis. The findings reveal that Perennialism contributes to the transmission of enduring values sourced from God as the origin of universal truth, yet requires pedagogical reinterpretation to remain responsive to the holistic development of young children; Essentialism provides a foundation for structured and systematic character formation consonant with the Biblical mandate, though it must be guarded against passive transmission tendencies that undermine children's agency; while Reconstructionism opens the transformative dimension of Christian education through forming children as Gospel-grounded agents of change, albeit with its transformative vision needing to be corrected by divine revelation rather than human critical reason alone. The integration of all three produces a holistic transmit–form–transform paradigm for Christian early childhood education. This study contributes to the development of philosophically grounded Christian educational theology and carries practical implications for churches, families, and educational institutions in nurturing a new generation intellectually, spiritually, and socially in the light of Christ. Keywords: early childhood; classical educational philosophy; perennialism and essentialism; reconstructionism; Christian educational theology and Imago Dei Abstrak Pendidikan anak usia dini sering kali didekati secara teknis-pedagogis tanpa fondasi filsafat yang memadai, sementara diskursus filsafat pendidikan klasik masih berjalan terpisah dari kerangka teologi pendidikan Kristen. Kesenjangan inilah yang menjadi titik berangkat penelitian ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan membangun kerangka konseptual integratif antara tiga aliran filsafat pendidikan klasik (Perennialisme, Esensialisme, dan Rekonstruksionisme)  dengan teologi pendidikan Kristen bagi anak usia dini, dengan ”Si Kecil” sebagai metafora antropologis yang menunjuk pada manusia dalam kondisi becoming sebagai subjek Imago Dei. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi literatur kritis-filosofis dengan pendekatan interdisipliner antara filsafat pendidikan dan teologi Kristen, melalui tahapan eksplorasi literatur, kategorisasi konsep, analisis kritis-komparatif, dan sintesis teologis. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Perennialisme berkontribusi pada pewarisan nilai-nilai abadi yang bersumber dari Allah sebagai Sumber kebenaran universal, namun memerlukan reinterpretasi pedagogis agar responsif terhadap perkembangan holistik anak usia dini; Esensialisme memberikan landasan bagi pembentukan karakter yang terstruktur dan sistematis yang sejalan dengan mandat Alkitab, namun harus dihindari dari kecenderungan transmisi pasif yang mengabaikan agensi anak; sedangkan Rekonstruksionisme membuka dimensi transformatif pendidikan Kristen melalui pembentukan anak sebagai agen perubahan yang berpijak pada Injil, meski visi transformasinya harus dikoreksi oleh penyataan ilahi, bukan semata rasio kritis manusiawi. Integrasi ketiganya menghasilkan paradigma mewariskan–membentuk–mentransformasi yang holistik bagi PAUD Kristen. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan teologi pendidikan Kristen yang berbasis filsafat sekaligus memberikan implikasi praktis bagi gereja, keluarga, dan lembaga pendidikan dalam mendidik generasi baru secara intelektual, spiritual, dan sosial dalam terang Kristus. Kata Kunci: anak usia dini; filsafat pendidikan klasik; perennialisme dan esensialisme; rekonstruksionisme; teologi pendidikan Kristen dan Imago Dei

Abstract

This article analyzes a Community Service Program carried out by the Master of Theology Study Program of STT Real Batam at GBI My Home Tanjung Uban Kota on 24 to 26 January 2026 as a model for the downstream transfer of Trinitarian research grounded in the exegetical study of Deuteronomy 6:4. The approach employed is community-based participatory research, utilizing theological seminars, Bible study, interactive discussion, and doctrinal mentoring. The analysis demonstrates that translating the results of lexical and grammatical exegesis of the concept of eḥāḏ into the catechetical space of the congregation produces a significant strengthening of Trinitarian literacy, particularly in distinguishing the complex oneness of God from both tritheistic and modalistic misconceptions. The findings affirm that the downstream transfer of theological research is not merely a dissemination of knowledge but a formative pedagogical process that strengthens the hermeneutical capacity of congregants in responding to contemporary theological challenges. The article contributes by formulating a model of research-based community engagement that integrates the framework of practical theology with the tradition of public theology within the context of local Indonesian congregations. Its practical implication calls upon theological higher education institutions to position community service as a strategic pathway for the transformation of theological knowledge, rather than treating it as a mere supplementary element of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education.

Abstract

The marginalization of People with Mental Health Disorders (Orang Dengan Gangguan Jiwa, ODGJ) in Indonesia unfolds within a paradoxical space, in which faith communities theologically called to be sites of restoration frequently reproduce stigma through spiritual and moral attributions of psychic suffering. The realities of pasung (shackling), structural poverty, and the limited provision of mental health services deepen such exclusion, while theological education in Indonesia has not yet fully addressed the disjunction between academic space and vulnerable bodies. This article offers a reflection on a community service program conducted by the Undergraduate Theology Program of STT Real Batam at Rumah Singgah Talitakum Cahaya Batam, with residents undergoing rehabilitation for mental health disorders as its target participants. The program was carried out through a participatory approach integrating pastoral accompaniment, spiritual education grounded in John 14:27, communal prayer, distribution of basic food supplies, and relational interaction. The impact analysis is constructed upon the integration of four theoretical frameworks, namely spiritual well-being, pastoral care, diakonia as reciprocal service, and missio Dei as participation in the work of God. The findings indicate that pastoral presence contributes to the existential well-being of participants, strengthens the social capital of the shelter, and forms ethical sensitivity and ministerial competence among theology students. Furthermore, the program demonstrates that ministry to ODGJ can be read as a locus theologicus that contests the charitable paradigm and shifts ministry toward diaconal resonance. The contribution of this article lies in proposing a model of contextual theological engagement that integrates psychosocial rehabilitation, student formation, and the church's mission for marginal communities.
