Abstract

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.

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.
