Abstract

Self-control, or the ability to regulate oneself, is very important to apply in today's era because by having self-control, a person can think more rationally, manage emotions, and act wisely in facing various increasingly complex challenges and temptations in the modern age. This study aims to determine the effect of self-control on the disciplined behaviour of Buddhist students at SMP Negeri 3 Gangga, North Lombok. The problems found include students who are less able to control themselves, such as being rude, often late, skipping lessons, not being responsible for assignments, and not caring about the school environment. This study is expected to improve student discipline in order to create a conducive learning atmosphere and better social ethics in the school environment. Self-control plays an important role in shaping students' disciplined behaviour. With good self-control, students can develop critical thinking skills, evaluate actions, and act more responsibly. This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method on 99 respondents. The respondents in this study were 29 students in Year 7, 28 students in Year 8, and 42 students in Year 9. This study was conducted at SMP Negeri 3 Gangga, North Lombok, with respondents from Year 7, 8, and 9 students in the 2024/2025 academic year. The results of the regression analysis show that self-control has a positive and significant influence on students' disciplined behaviour. However, disciplined behaviour is also influenced by other factors such as family, school, and peer environments. This finding confirms that self-control is an important component in the formation of discipline, but external factors also have a major contribution in shaping students' character and self-development.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Full Moon Puja Bhakti as a form of transformative Buddhist education that integrates saddhā (faith) and moral values formation among Buddhist students in East Lampung, Indonesia. In Buddhist teaching, devotional practices such as Puja Bhakti are not only rituals of reverence but also pedagogical spaces that transmit ethical values, strengthen faith, and cultivate spiritual discipline. Within the school and community context, Full Moon observances allow students to internalize Buddhist teachings through chanting, reflection, and collective devotion, fostering a sense of identity and moral responsibility. The research employed a quantitative approach using survey methods. Data were collected through validated questionnaires distributed to Buddhist students actively participating in Puja Bhakti, involving 207 students. Data analysis used the SPSS 26 application. Regression analysis was applied to identify the effect of ritual participation on the strengthening of saddhā and the development of moral values. Findings indicate that Full Moon Puja Bhakti significantly reinforces faith and shapes students' ethical conduct. The practice is an integrative educational tool that unites spiritual devotion with character building. As a result, Full Moon Puja Bhakti can be considered an effective pedagogical model for promoting transformative Buddhist education, ensuring the preservation of saddhā and ethical values within contemporary youth communities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the influence of Metta Bhavana meditation on the resilience of students at the Buddhist Sunday School of Wihara Girikirti. Metta Bhavana, as a form of mental cultivation in Buddhist teachings, is believed to foster boundless loving-kindness that strengthens both mental and emotional well-being. The research employed a quantitative approach using simple linear regression, involving proportionally selected students. Data were collected through questionnaires designed to measure the level of resilience and the intensity of meditation practice. The findings reveal that Metta Bhavana plays a significant role in shaping students’ mental and emotional resilience. Students who regularly engage in this meditation showed improvements in spiritual aspects, such as self-awareness and inner calm; emotional aspects, such as stress management and emotional stability; and social aspects, such as empathy and interpersonal communication skills. Nevertheless, resilience is also influenced by external factors, including family support, learning environment, and social interactions. These results offer important contributions to the development of Buddhist religious education curricula, particularly in non-formal settings such as Sunday Schools. Integrating Metta Bhavana into structured learning programmes, with the active involvement of teachers, parents, and the community, is considered an effective strategy for strengthening students' psychological resilience in facing life's challenges. Future research is recommended to explore mediating or moderating variables and to employ mixed-method approaches to gain a more comprehensive understanding of students' psychological and social dynamics.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the importance of improving student learning outcomes through a learning approach that not only focuses on cognitive aspects but also shapes students' awareness, attitudes, and positive behaviour. This study aims to determine the effect of mindful learning on improving student learning outcomes with mindful bells at Buddhist Sunday School (BSS) Dharma Gaya, Metro City. Mindful Learning is a learning approach that emphasises full awareness in the learning process. Students are encouraged to be fully present, aware, and focused on every activity they do. Mindful bells are used as a tool to help students direct their attention to learning in a calmer and more focused manner. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 45 students as the overall subjects of the study. The research instrument used was a questionnaire with a Likert scale that measured mindful learning with mindful bells. Simple linear regression analysis was used to test the research hypothesis, and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) for Windows version 26 was used as a tool to analyse the data. The results showed that there was a positive and significant influence of 65.5% between the variables of mindful learning with mindful bells and the improvement in student learning outcomes at BSS Dharma Gaya Kota Metro. Meanwhile, the remaining 34.5% was influenced by other factors not included in the study. This means that the better the application of mindful learning with mindful bells in learning activities, the more it will improve student learning outcomes as shown by changes in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of students.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of Buddhist Religious Counsellors in developing the competence of Buddhist Sunday School teachers in South Lampung Regency. The background of this study is based on the low level of competence of BSS teachers, which covers four main aspects, namely pedagogical, personality, social, and professional competence. These suboptimal competencies have a direct impact on the quality of the teaching and learning process and on students' understanding of Buddhist teachings. One of the factors contributing to the low level of teacher competency is the limited number of Buddhist religious instructors, the lack of ongoing training, and the lack of supervision or guidance in teaching practice in the field. This study used a quantitative approach with a simple linear regression analysis method to test the influence between the role of instructors and teacher competency. Data was collected through a closed questionnaire administered to 35 Buddhist Sunday Scool teachers from 11 temples spread across the South Lampung Regency. The results showed that there was a positive influence between the role of Buddhist instructors and the development of Buddhist Sunday School teacher competency. This is evidenced by an R² value of 0.40, which indicates that the role of counsellors contributes significantly to improving teacher competency. Based on these findings, this study recommends optimising the role of Buddhist counsellors through continuous coaching programmes, professional training, and cooperation between counsellors, teachers, and Buddhist religious education institutions. In addition, support from government agencies and religious organisations is essential to improve the quality of human resources in Buddhist education. Thus, the learning process in Buddhist Sunday Schools is expected to be more effective, contextual, and meaningful in accordance with Buddhist values, as well as capable of shaping students' characters in a holistic and balanced manner.
