Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji korelasi antara sikap "rasa takut akan Tuhan" dan prestasi akademik di kalangan siswa kelas sepuluh di SMA Swasta GKPI Padang Bulan, Medan, Indonesia, pada tahun ajaran 2023. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain korelasional deskriptif, dengan melibatkan seluruh populasi siswa kelas sepuluh yang berjumlah 30 orang sebagai sampel. Dokumentasi dan kuesioner menggunakan 30 item pilihan ganda (a, b, c, d) sebagai instrumen penelitian. Uji reliabilitas dilakukan untuk memastikan keabsahan kuesioner. Analisis data menunjukkan distribusi normal untuk kedua data rasa takut akan Tuhan (X²_hitung < X²_tabel = 22,33 < 43,77) dan data prestasi akademik siswa (X²_hitung < X²_tabel = 18,85 < 43,77). Uji statistik menunjukkan adanya hubungan linear antara kedua variabel tersebut. Analisis lebih lanjut menggunakan uji korelasi sederhana menunjukkan korelasi positif yang signifikan, dengan nilai r sebesar 0,453 yang melebihi nilai kritis sebesar 0,361. Uji-t mengkonfirmasi signifikansi ini dengan nilai t sebesar 3,41 yang melebihi nilai kritis sebesar 1,69 pada tingkat signifikansi 95%. Temuan ini menunjukkan adanya korelasi positif yang signifikan antara rasa takut akan Tuhan dan prestasi akademik di kalangan siswa kelas sepuluh dalam penelitian ini.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Sunday School teachers in shaping children's character through Christian religious education. The objective of this research is to identify the teaching strategies implemented and their impact on children's character development. The study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach conducted at Bethel Indonesia Church, Hotel Pelangi, Simpang Selayang, Medan. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that Sunday School teachers play a crucial role in character formation through role modeling, Bible-based learning, and positive social interactions. Creative teaching methods such as storytelling, role-playing, and interactive group activities have been proven to enhance children's understanding of Christian values. However, challenges such as a lack of training, limited facilities, and varying levels of student participation remain obstacles. It is recommended that churches provide regular training for Sunday School teachers, improve the availability of relevant teaching materials, and develop a more structured curriculum suited to children's growth. Additionally, parental involvement in character education is expected to strengthen learning outcomes. By enhancing the role of Sunday School teachers, this study contributes to the moral and spiritual development of children in Bethel Indonesia Church, Hotel Pelangi, Simpang Selayang, Medan.

Abstract

Character education is a central mandate in Indonesia’s national education framework, emphasizing the development of moral integrity, responsibility, and spiritual maturity. Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers play a strategic role in shaping students’ character by integrating biblical values with moral instruction, role modeling, and spiritual mentoring. This study examines how CRE teachers contribute to character formation among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Sibolga during the 2024/2025 academic year. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research collected data through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that CRE teachers perform four crucial functions: (1) moral educator, (2) role model, (3) motivator, and (4) spiritual mentor. These roles collectively enhance students’ honesty, discipline, responsibility, tolerance, respectfulness, and spiritual devotion. However, teachers face significant challenges, including digital media influence, peer pressure, and inconsistent parental involvement. The study concludes that CRE teachers significantly influence character formation when supported by consistent modeling and collaborative school–family partnerships
