Abstract

The phenomenon of suicide in Bali shows an increasing trend that raises a socio-religious paradox amid the strong traditional structures and Hindu spirituality. Various studies confirm that depression, psychosocial pressure, low self-regulation, and loss of meaning in life contribute significantly to the emergence of suicidal ideation. This study aims to analyse the strengthening of character through the concepts of Sāstratah, Gurutah, and Swatah as Hindu psychospiritual-based preventive strategies. The study uses a qualitative approach, grounded in a literature review, through critical analysis of scriptures, Hindu theological literature, and relevant psychological and mental health studies. The results of the study show that Sāstratah lays the foundation for meaning in life by understanding humans as atman, with a dharma-and mokṣa-oriented perspective. Gurutah presents a process of inner clarification through reflective dialogue and guided yoga practices that strengthen emotional regulation and self-awareness. Swatah marks the deepest stage of internalisation, when yajña transforms from an external ritual into an internal burning of the ego, giving birth to compassion and existential resilience. The magnanimous character formed through these three paths functions as a psychospiritual fortress that strengthens the meaning of life, self-control, and resilience to pressure. The scientific contribution of this article lies in the formulation of a tiered psychospiritual model that integrates classical Hindu texts with modern psychological theory as a contextual conceptual reinterpretation for Balinese society. This study is theoretical and literature-based, thus requiring further empirical research to test the model's validity and effectiveness in measurable terms. Thus, the concepts of Sāstratah, Gurutah, and Swatah contribute as a conceptual framework for Hindu-based character education in contextual and transformative preventive efforts to reduce suicidal ideation.

Abstract

Civic education plays a crucial role in fostering responsible citizenship and developing comprehensive civic competencies. In Indonesia, it holds a strategic position as a compulsory subject mandated by the government and implemented across all universities. This study aims to investigate the impact of Project Citizen Digital on students’ civic competency in higher education. Employing a quantitative approach, the research focuses on the implementation and evaluation stages of the ADDIE model following the development of the Project Citizen Digital application. A one-group pretest–posttest design was used to assess changes in students’ civic competency before and after the intervention. The study involved 480 undergraduate students from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, consisting of 400 students in the first cohort and 80 students in the second. Data were analyzed using paired-sample statistical tests through SPSS. The findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in students’ civic competency after engaging in Project Citizen Digital-based learning. This is evidenced by a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, which is lower than 0.025, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. The results confirm that the intervention produced a meaningful difference between pretest and posttest scores. Therefore, Project Citizen Digital demonstrates strong potential as an innovative and effective model for integrating digital technology with participatory civic learning in higher education.

Abstract

This study examines how Buddhist Religious Education and Character-Building textbooks for Indonesian senior high schools under the Merdeka Curriculum represent religious moderation values. While previous research has extensively analyzed Islamic religious education textbooks, Buddhist textbooks remain unexplored, representing a significant gap in Indonesian academic literature. Using qualitative content analysis, this study analyzes Buddhist religious education textbooks for grades X, XI, XII, examining textual, visual, and multimodal elements through the Ministry of Religious Affairs' four indicators: tolerance, anti-violence, local culture acceptance, and national commitment, and employing Sadker and Zittleman's framework to identify bias. Findings reveal that textbooks systematically integrate moderation values through Buddhist teachings such as the Kalama Sutta, historical narratives of Buddhist-Hindu coexistence, cross-sectarian inspirational figures, and integration with Pancasila national ideology. Tolerance is operationalized as critical praxis combining openness with evaluative rationality rather than passive acceptance. However, three systematic biases were identified: religious invisibility through exclusion of belief systems and other religions beyond six officially recognized religions, imbalance in presenting inter-sectarian differences limited to symbolic aspects without philosophical depth, and cosmetic bias where student activities lack adequate textual scaffolding. This study makes a unique contribution by filling the gap in Buddhist religious education textbook analysis in Indonesia and demonstrating that while Buddhist textbooks show progressivity in representing moderation values, structural improvements in comprehensiveness, philosophical depth, and inclusive representation are essential for developing genuine cross-cultural religious literacy and supporting Indonesia's pluralistic educational goals.
