Abstract

The study aims to determine the effectiveness of the STEAM-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving critical thinking skills among elementary school students. This research is based on the issue of low critical thinking ability in Science subjects, particularly because the STEAM approach has not yet been applied in learning. The study was conducted at 1 Pawenang Elementary School as an effort to introduce a learning model that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. The STEAM-based PjBL syntax includes formulating essential questions, designing project plans, preparing information-gathering schedules, implementing projects, monitoring activities, testing project outcomes, evaluating learning experiences, and drawing conclusions. This study used a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. The quantitative phase examined the effectiveness of STEAM in improving students’ critical thinking in Science, while the qualitative phase, through interviews and observations, identified the processes and supporting factors influencing the model’s implementation. The results showed that the STEAM-based PjBL model was effective in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills. Statistical analysis indicated a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05, meaning that the STEAM-based PjBL model had a significant positive effect on the improvement of students’ critical thinking character.

Abstract

Harmonious living in a diverse society presents complex challenges due to the potential for significant conflict. Radicalism, intolerance, and social conflict often occur, especially concerning religious pluralism. Educational institutions, which are expected to build the nation's character, are also prone to religion's education labeling. Hence, Christian religious education had two choices: strengthen dogmatic teaching or embrace inclusive values. This research focuses on the importance of inclusive values as the foundation for Christian Religious Education. Through descriptive analysis of various literature, this study discusses the theological basis for inclusive values in the context of the Church and its implications for Christian religious education. The research results show that the value of inclusion is based on the reflection of the incarnation and the example of encountering dialogue, which forms the foundation for inclusive Christian Religious Education.

Abstract

Discipline is an important character trait that enables humans to control themselves. However, many individuals still find it difficult to maintain consistent self-control, even though they have tried to be disciplined. The purpose of this study is to determine how to strengthen the character trait of discipline through holistic mentoring: a phenomenological study of clients. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews conducted with four clients who participated in the mentoring program. The analysis was conducted thematically to determine the meaning and importance of the participants' experiences. The results showed that holistic mentoring can improve discipline in three main ways: (1) internalization of values through personal reflection and interactive discussion, (2) increasing intrinsic motivation through spiritual and emotional approaches, and (3) creating behavioral consistency through practice and social support. The results of the study show the characteristics of discipline (a) responsibility for oneself, (b) responsibility for the family, (c) consistency and determination in the process, and (d) the ability to make wise decisions amid pressure, distractions, and the desire to do unproductive things. The results indicate that cognitive, affective, and spiritual aspects must be included in comprehensive and contextual coaching through moral guidance.
