Abstract

This study aims to formulate learning Best Practices based on the ecological traditions and local culture of the Lambitu community by integrating the values of Tri Hita Karana (THK). Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with cultural leaders, local artisans, and educators, as well as documentation of cultural artifacts and ecological practices. The findings reveal a strong alignment between Lambitu’s cultural traditions and the three dimensions of THK—Parahyangan, Pawongan, and Palemahan—providing a pedagogical foundation for contextual and character-based learning. Five Best Practices were identified: Uma Lengge–based Eco–Ethno Learning, the “Adopt a Sacred Spring” conservation program, the Tembe Nggoli Character Project, the Eco–Craft Pandan Project, and the Mbolo Weki Education Forum. The study concludes that learning rooted in local culture supports holistic education that reflects harmonious relationships between humans, nature, and spirituality as conceptualized in THK values.

Abstract

Sunday school is an important part of the church, serving as one of its educational units, and plays a crucial role in shaping children's personal character, faith, and responsibility. Throughout the teaching provided in Sunday School, it is hoped that participants will be motivated to grow in faith and develop their character, becoming stronger in their relationship with God and more competent to face life physically and mentally. The purpose of this study is to discuss the use of media in learning activities in Sunday School and the correlation of the use of such media. The results of the study show that the use of media in learning English in Sunday school can increase interest and motivation, improve English language skills, and increase their self-efficacy.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve English language skills and instill biblical values in children and adolescents at the Imanuel Oepura Congregation in Kupang City through the integration of digital comics based on folklore. This initiative was motivated by the urgency of mastering English in the era of globalization and efforts to preserve local wisdom. The implementation method involved 49 participants, where students delivered Sunday school material using digital comics that combined folklore with biblical values, followed by a quiz to evaluate understanding. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in children's engagement and understanding of the values conveyed. The developed digital comics have undergone expert validation tests (media, language, materials) with excellent percentages (e.g., 95.13% and 98.26% of trials, 100% by media experts, and 94% by language experts), confirming their quality and suitability as effective and engaging learning media. Positive responses from participants also indicate that digital comics have successfully increased reading interest and learning motivation. It was concluded that the integration of folklore-based digital comics is an effective method to increase engagement and understanding of the material, although the success of its implementation depends on the availability of supporting infrastructure. This activity is expected to be a reference for similar programs in the future in developing innovative and relevant educational media
