This research aims to test the effectiveness of outdoor learning-based education in increasing the understanding of Sunday School children about the values of Brahmawihara (Metta, Karuna, Mudita, Upekkha). This study also emphasises the importance of enjoyable and contextual learning approaches to enhance children's engagement in understanding spiritual values. The method used is a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 20 children aged 10-12 years from two Buddhist Sunday Schools in East Lampung. Data collection was carried out through a multiple-choice test that has been tested for validity and reliability of 0.967, and was then analysed using paired sample T-test and one sample T-test. This supports the theory of experiential learning, with research results showing a significant increase in participant understanding, where the average pretest score was 60.20 SD=9.12, increasing to 86.30 SD=7.54 in the posttest. Statistical analysis reinforces these findings (t = -20.985, p = 0.000), with 85.71% of participants achieving the minimum learning completeness (KKM) ≥75. Activities such as nature meditation and role-playing proved to help children connect the values of Brahmawihara with their daily lives, strengthening the internalisation of these four noble qualities. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that outdoor learning-based education is effective as an alternative method for teaching Brahmawihara to children in Buddhist Sunday school. The practical implication is that this approach can be integrated into the curriculum by taking into account the availability of supporting facilities and teacher training to ensure optimal implementation. For further research, it is recommended to broaden the sample scope by involving different age groups or locations with more diverse environmental characteristics to test the generalisation of findings in providing education to children. This study makes an important contribution to the development of interactive and contextual Buddhist education methods, especially in instilling noble values in Sunday School children.

Rapid technological development has brought many significant changes to everyday life, changing people's mindsets and paradigms in seeking information. Nowadays, people no longer rely solely on newspapers and radio but also use other sources of information, one of which is the internet. In implementing learning, it is important to provide supporting teaching materials and resources so that educational goals can be achieved. If learning is only carried out conventionally, students tend to experience boredom and lack of active involvement. This study aims to develop an Android-based learning media in the form of the Dhamma Quest game as a tool to help Buddhist Sunday School students understand Buddhist symbols, as well as to analyze students' responses to its use in increasing their interest and understanding. In addition, this study also assesses the feasibility of the media through expert and specialist validation, as well as determining the influence of the Dhamma Quest learning media on students' interest or motivation to learn. This study also focuses on the development of learning media in the form of the "Dhamma Quest" game on Buddhist symbols at the Dhamma Suci Buddhist temple Sunday school. This study uses a level 3 research and development (R&D) method. The steps used include researching and developing the product. The research subject is the Dhamma Suci Buddhist temple Sunday school. Data collection techniques include observation, product validation observation sheets, and the one-group pretest-posttest method, while the analysis technique uses a paired samples test.The overall assessment results were given by subject matter and media experts, with an average score of 4.56 and a percentage score of 96% in the very feasible category. The limited test results showed that the posttest mean score (81.9) was higher than the pretest score (42.5). With this achievement, the Dhamma Quest media was considered effective in improving students' understanding and feasible for use as learning media for Buddhist symbols.

This study aims to analyse the influence of interactive learning media on increasing the creativity of Buddhist Sunday School students in Tanjung Sari District. This research departs from the problem of low student activity in discussing, asking questions, and contributing to the learning process. Students tend to be passive because they are less interested in monotonous teaching methods, limited to the use of textbooks as the primary source. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research population consisted of all 78 students of the Buddhist Sunday School in Tanjung Sari District. The sample was determined using the saturated sampling technique, so that the entire population was used as respondents. Data collection was conducted using a Likert scale questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability tests. Data were analysed using simple linear regression to test the influence of independent variables on dependent variables, assisted by SPSS software 24. The results of the study show that there is a positive and significant influence of interactive learning media on increasing student creativity. The results of the study indicate that interactive learning media requires careful planning in order to motivate students to be actively involved. Therefore, Buddhist Sunday School teachers need to adapt the use of interactive media to the needs, characteristics, and level of development of students, as well as create a learning climate that supports participation and freedom of expression. Thus, interactive learning media can be an effective means of encouraging creativity, as long as it is supported by the right learning strategies and good communication skills of teachers.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Buddhist Religious Education at SD Negeri 3 Waringin Sari Timur Pringsewu. The main objective of this study is to gain an in-depth understanding of the implementation of the curriculum based on the values of the Pancasila Student Profile, particularly in the context of minority religious education. This study also aims to identify the extent to which the Merdeka Curriculum has an impact on the character building of students, as well as how the school supports the facilitation of an inclusive and valuable learning process. This study uses a qualitative approach with an evaluative method based on the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews with the principal, vice principal in charge of curriculum, and Buddhist Education teachers, as well as documentation of learning tools. The CIPP model was used to examine the context of the curriculum policy, the readiness and availability of supporting resources, the learning implementation process, and the results or impact of the curriculum implementation. The results showed that the school had implemented the Merdeka Curriculum gradually in accordance with applicable regulations. Buddhist education was implemented equally and comprehensively, despite facing obstacles in the form of a limited number of official textbooks. The school provided support through training programs such as Tathagata and learning communities. The evaluation of student achievement shows a significant improvement in character, as reflected in the Education Report Card indicators, which improved from the red (poor) category in 2022 to green (good) in 2024–2025. These findings show that the Merdeka Curriculum can be effectively implemented in minority religious education if it is supported by resource readiness and institutional commitment.

Teachers play a very strategic role as the front line in the learning process, so that optimal performance is a key factor in achieving educational goals. At Buddhist Sunday Schools in Pesawaran and Pringsewu Regencies, the learning process still faces problems, namely a monotonous, uninteresting, and boring learning atmosphere. This condition is influenced by the ineffective performance of some teachers, such as the use of learning methods that lack variety, ineffective interaction strategies with students, and minimal preparation of materials before teaching. This study aims to analyze the influence of Buddhist Sunday School teachers' performance on the effectiveness of Buddhist learning in the two districts. The research used a quantitative approach with a survey method. A total of 31 Buddhist Sunday School teachers were respondents. The research employed a questionnaire using a Likert scale to measure several indicators of teacher performance, including work discipline, organizational commitment and integrity, work motivation, work culture, educational leadership, teaching quality, and incentives. The findings revealed that work motivation emerged as the strongest aspect of teacher performance. Furthermore, data analysis indicated that teacher performance had a substantial impact on the effectiveness of Buddhist learning, although other factors also contributed. These results highlight that enhancing teacher performance is a crucial component in improving learning effectiveness. Such improvement should not only focus on instructional delivery but also emphasize strengthening teachers’ motivation, commitment, and mastery of teaching materials. In this way, better teacher performance will make a meaningful contribution to the learning development of Buddhist Sunday School students in Pesawaran and Pringsewu Regencies.
