Abstract

Papua and Chuseok from South Korea, within a global context, employing Clifford Geertz's theory of cultural symbolism. Bakar Batu is a deeply rooted culinary and communal ritual in Papua, bringing people together in a shared act of cooking that honors ancestral spirits and nature. In comparison, Chuseok is a Korean harvest festival that celebrates gratitude for the year's abundance and includes ancestral rites and communal sharing of traditional foods. This study uses a qualitative approach to examine the symbolic meanings embedded in these two traditions through literature review and thematic data analysis. The findings reveal that, despite the forces of globalization and modernization, both Bakar Batu and Chuseok uphold collective identity and spiritual values, illustrating Geertz's perspective that symbols embody culture and reinforce social unity and cultural continuity. Each tradition, while evolving, remains resilient in preserving its symbolic meaning, underscoring the global relevance of cultural rituals in affirming identity, fostering community solidarity, and transmitting spiritual values across generations. This study contributes to global discourses on cultural preservation, emphasizing the universal role of ritual in sustaining identity and social cohesion amidst diverse cultural landscapes.

Abstract

This research explores religious diversity and the value of harmony in the traditions of the Waraka community using a descriptive qualitative approach. The primary objective is to analyze how religious diversity is recognized in daily life and how values of harmony are promoted through their traditions. Data collection methods include in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document review with key informants such as the King of Waraka, his wife, religious leaders from Christianity, Catholicism, and Islam, as well as community members from various religions, including the King’s daughter-in-law from Manado. The collected data was analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s data analysis techniques. The findings show that the Waraka community practices interfaith tolerance through the joint construction of places of worship and shared religious celebrations. Traditions like “Ronda Kambing” and “Natsar Negeri” serve as concrete examples of interfaith interaction that strengthen social understanding. This research concludes that the religious harmony practices in Waraka can inspire the creation of inclusive and tolerant societies globally, with an emphasis on educational approaches and more structured interfaith dialogue.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate lecturer competencies at State Christian Religious Universities (PTKKN) in Indonesia, focusing on pedagogic, personality, social, and professional dimensions. Lecturers from seven state Christian higher education institutions (HEI)—Ambon, Manado, Tarutung, Toraja, Palangkaraya, Kupang, and Sentani—were sampled, with 21 lecturers selected from each institution for a total of 147 participants. Mix-method research was employed, incorporating a questionnaire based on Perdirjen Number 2626 of 2023 for the quantitative analysis, which involved descriptive statistics to summarize the data. Qualitative data were gathered through online in-depth interviews with five lecturers from each institution, selected based on survey responses to ensure data saturation. Thematic analysis and data triangulation were used to provide a richer understanding of the quantitative findings. The study revealed that most lecturers are at Levels 1 and 2, demonstrating a basic understanding and application of pedagogical competencies but needing further development in evaluation, reflection, collaboration, and mentoring. Lecturers at Level 3 showed proficiency in evaluation and improvement, while Levels 4 and 5 exhibited advanced collaboration and expert mentoring skills. Challenges identified include additional workload and administrative responsibilities at lower levels and difficulties in engaging less experienced colleagues at higher levels. This study recommends enhancing development programs to improve foundational knowledge at Levels 1 and 2, reinforcing collaboration and mentoring at Levels 3 and 4, and addressing workload issues to support professional growth. Continuous professional development is crucial for improving educational quality and advancing lecturer competencies at Christian HEI

Abstract

This study evaluates and compares the integration of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in Indonesian language textbooks for high school students under the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study conducts content analysis of four textbooks two aligned with the 2013 Curriculum and two with the Merdeka Curriculum employing HOTS criteria derived from Bloom’s taxonomy. The findings reveal that the 2013 Curriculum textbook (2014 edition) includes 78 questions, with 17 in the analyzing category and 37 in the evaluating category (32 checking and 24 criticizing questions). In comparison, the Merdeka Curriculum textbook (2021 edition) presents 55 questions, comprising 14 analyzing and 32 evaluating questions (25 checking and 16 criticizing). Despite a decrease in the total number of questions, the Merdeka Curriculum exhibits a greater emphasis on deeper critical evaluation, reflecting a pedagogical shift toward fostering students' critical thinking competencies. The contribution of this research lies in providing empirical evidence on how curriculum reforms affect the cognitive depth of textbook content, thereby offering insights for curriculum developers, textbook authors, and educators in designing learning materials that effectively promote 21st-century skills.

Abstract

Parsubang is a Batak tradition that originally emerged as a form of respect for individuals who did not consume pork, and has since evolved into a broader cultural practice symbolizing respect for religious and belief-based differences. This study examines the role of parsubang in fostering social harmony within the Batak community, focusing on how this traditional practice bridges religious divides between Muslims and Christians. The research employs a qualitative approach, gathering data through semi-structured interviews with community leaders, religious figures, and members of the Batak community in both rural and urban areas. Data analysis is conducted using thematic analysis, identifying key themes related to the values of tolerance, mutual respect, and social solidarity within parsubang. The findings show that while the form of parsubang has evolved in urban areas, its core values continue to play a significant role in maintaining social cohesion. Despite modern challenges, the practice remains a crucial element of Batak identity and interfaith harmony. The study concludes that preserving the essence of parsubang while adapting it to contemporary contexts can help maintain religious harmony and strengthen community bonds.

Abstract

The State Christian Institute of Ambon is a Christian religious higher education institution with lecturers, employees, and students of various faiths. Religious differences are often a point of conflict, but there has never been a conflict within the Institut Agama Kristen Negeri Ambon (IAKN Ambon) environment, despite different religious beliefs. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to know the portrait of religious diversity, the understanding of students, staff, and lecturers about religious harmony, the values of religious harmony, and the efforts made to build religious harmony at IAKN Ambon. This research uses a qualitative method for data collection, such as in interviews, participant observation, and document reviews, which would then be analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques. This study's informants included Christian, Muslim, and Catholic lecturers, staff, and students. According to the results, there were three religious communities in IAKN Ambon: Islam, Christianity, and Catholicism. Relations among religious communities are excellent. This harmony can be seen in mutual respect, freedom of worship, and cooperation. This harmony has been built through several efforts, such as 1) providing understanding and awareness of the importance of harmony; 2) providing freedom of worship; 3) providing worship facilities; and 4) creating a common space.

Abstract

The Maranggap tradition in Batak Toba society carries deep social and traditional medical values. This ethnographic qualitative research examines the changes and continuities of Maranggap in the face of Christian influences and modernization, as well as their impact on collective identity and social cohesion. The study was conducted over six months (January–June 2024) in Humbang Hasundutan, Sidikkalang, Girsang Sipangan Bolon, and Tanah Jawa. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with customary leaders, religious figures, and community members, as well as participatory observation. Thematic analysis was used to identify key patterns and themes. Findings reveal that in Girsang Sipangan Bolon and Tanah Jawa, Maranggap has been replaced by Christian-style thanksgiving rituals, while in Humbang Hasundutan and Sidikkalang, it is still practiced with modifications. Christian influences are reflected in the use of prayers, hymns, and new interpretations of traditional elements. Modernization has led to changes in food offerings, event organization through digital platforms, and a decline in the role of traditional birth attendants due to medical regulations. However, traditional health practices—such as marbara (smoke healing) and the use of betel leaves, turmeric, and ginger—remain relevant. The integration of traditional and modern medical knowledge is growing, and technology aids in preserving and disseminating Maranggap’s health-related wisdom. This study highlights how traditional values adapt within shifting religious and contemporary contexts, and the ongoing challenge of sustaining cultural identity in a transforming society.

Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum represents a major reform in Indonesian education, emphasizing flexible, student-centered learning to develop the Pancasila Student Profile. This study addresses the perceptions of PAK teachers regarding the challenges and opportunities of implementing the Merdeka Curriculum in Ambon’s high schools. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through interviews, observations, and document analysis with PAK teachers from three high schools. The findings reveal diverse perceptions: some teachers regard the curriculum as an opportunity to foster creativity and student participation, while others encounter obstacles such as limited resources, technological constraints, and difficulties in developing contextualized learning modules. Theoretically, this study expands curriculum reform discourse in religious education beyond Islamic contexts, demonstrating how Christian character-building can be integrated into national reforms. From a policy perspective, the results provide valuable insights for professional development and institutional support tailored to religious education teachers in pluralistic settings. Overall, this research underscores the importance of aligning national curriculum reforms with local religious education practices to achieve effective and equitable implementation.
