This research aims to analyze the implementation of the STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division) learning model in improving student learning outcomes in Catholic Religious Education at St. Yoseph Middle School, Medan. The study was conducted at St. Yoseph Middle School using a qualitative approach. A total of 10 informants, consisting of teachers, students, and educational staff, were selected as primary data sources.

Abstract

The Merdeka curriculum was introduced to enhance the quality of Indonesian education and bridge the gap with other countries. Student learning achievement, assessed through standardized evaluations, serves as a key measure of this improvement. This study aims to identify the difficulties faced by teachers in adapting their teaching methods, the challenges in developing instructional modules, and the issues encountered in assessing Catholic religious education. This qualitative study employed observations, interviews, and document analysis to collect data from Catholic Religious Education teachers. Data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that teachers have implemented the Merdeka curriculum. However, they face significant challenges in transitioning from traditional teaching methods, designing effective teaching modules, and conducting assessments in accordance with the new system. These difficulties highlight the need for additional support and training. The study reveals that inadequate dissemination and technical guidance hinder effective curriculum implementation. Teachers require structured training and resources to successfully integrate the Merdeka curriculum into their teaching practices. While the Merdeka curriculum has been adopted, challenges remain in its execution. To ensure effective implementation, comprehensive training and equitable distribution of curriculum resources are necessary. Further research is recommended to explore long-term solutions for improving teacher adaptation.

Abstract

Ecological issues are not just ordinary problems but global issues that affect grassroots communities that are powerless in terms of knowledge, social, economic, cultural, and religious aspects. The objective is to analyze the presence of religious minority communities in responding to the ecological crisis in Southeast Aceh through the contextualization of ecological theology from the encyclical Laudato Si’, using a qualitative phenomenological approach through interviews and focus group discussions with 26 participants in 2025. The results of the study show the successful implementation of an integral ecology model that transforms reforestation from a technical action into a practice of faith, supported by the synergistic integration of three dimensions: spiritual as a driver of ecological conversion, social through participatory community structures, and technical with sustainable methods such as agroforestry. The main conclusion offers a transformative solution: that addressing the ecological crisis must begin with a transformation of the heart driven by spirituality, strengthened by community, and manifested in systematic concrete actions, while also becoming a blueprint for contextual and value-based environmental conservation. This research contributes to developing a model that promotes social and cultural awareness, as well as ecological conversion, which can be used to create educational curricula from elementary to university levels. Additionally, it serves as a policy recommendation for both the government and the Catholic Church regarding Christian anthropological theology education.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in reshaping religious authority and learning practices within Catholic education, focusing on the subject of the Church as the People of God. Employing a qualitative research design based on Creswell’s approach, the study seeks to explore the lived experiences of teachers and students in engaging with AI as part of religious learning processes. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis at SMA Katolik 2 Kabanjahe, North Sumatra Province, involving two Catholic Religious Education teachers, thirty students, and the school principal. Data analysis followed the stages of data reduction, data display, and interactive conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that AI does not merely function as a pedagogical tool, but actively transforms patterns of religious learning and the mediation of ecclesial authority in the classroom. AI facilitates more contextual theological explanations, supports simulated pastoral dialogues, and provides visual resources that strengthen students’ conceptual and reflective understanding of the Church’s identity as the People of God. At the same time, the integration of AI reconfigures the role of teachers from primary transmitters of knowledge to mediators of meaning, interpretation, and ecclesial values. Students demonstrate increased learning motivation, deeper faith reflection, and more critical engagement with religious content. However, this transformation also generates challenges, including technological dependency, unequal digital literacy, and the need for continuous ethical and ecclesial guidance to ensure that AI-mediated learning remains aligned with Catholic values and religious authority structures

Abstract

This study analyzes and describes the multidimensional role of Catholic religious educators as a determining factor in innovating a conducive learning environment for academic achievement and the development of students' creativity. This study was conducted at SD Negeri 101856 Gunung Rintih, involving Catholic religious educators, homeroom teachers, students, and the principal as research subjects, using a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques included participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation collection. The findings of this study indicate that professional teachers who understand the essence of learning creativity have the strategic capacity to innovate a dynamic and inspiring learning environment through the implementation of their integrative roles as educators, teachers, mentors, creativity motivators, and counselors. The implementation of this role has been proven to foster a creative learning climate, as seen in increased active participation, courage to present ideas, frequency of questions, and willingness to take intellectual risks among students. The implication is that the integrative role of teachers is key to stimulating creativity and academic achievement. Therefore, to optimize and maintain these achievements, continuous professional development is needed to transform this positive dynamic into a culture of sustainable learning quality in the school environment.
