Abstract

The rapid development of information and communication technology demands adaptation of learning methods, especially for Generation Z and Alpha students who are highly familiar with digital technology. However, many teachers still rely on conventional learning tools that are less engaging for students. This community service activity aimed to improve the competency of Catholic Religious Education teachers at the junior high school level in Merauke City in developing interactive digital teaching modules. The activity used participatory workshop methods involving 18 Catholic Religious Education teachers from various junior high schools in Merauke Regency. The workshop was conducted in three sessions: understanding the concept of interactive digital teaching modules, training in the use of educational applications, and presentation with evaluation and reflection. Data collection used pre- and post-activity assessments, observation, and documentation studies. Results showed significant improvement in teacher competency from an initial average score of 2.00 (sufficient category) to 3.45 (good category) after the workshop. All competency aspects experienced improvement, with the highest increase in AI-assisted teaching module development skills from 2.17 to 3.67. This activity successfully equipped teachers with knowledge and skills to develop interactive digital teaching modules that support more creative, engaging, and meaningful Catholic Religious Education learning.

Abstract

The misuse of glue among minors is a phenomenon that is gaining increasing attention due to its serious impact on children's physical and psychological health. This study aims to identify the underlying factors that cause deviant behaviour among minors, as well as to describe the impact of glue sniffing on child development and the preventive and curative measures that can be taken. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interviews, and documentation methods, this study explores the internal, external, and social factors that contribute to glue sniffing. The research informants consisted of ten people, including glue sniffers, parents, mentors, community leaders, and environmental managers in Kamundu Village, Merauke Regency, South Papua, Indonesia. The results of the study show that the main contributing factors include a lack of supervision and attention from the family, the influence of the environment and peers, economic factors, a lack of understanding about the dangers of glue sniffing, and the easy availability of glue. The impacts experienced by children include physical growth disorders, mental disorders, and decreased cognitive function. Preventive and curative efforts involve a holistic approach that combines family guidance, community education, pastoral support from the Church, and government policies. The study concluded that addressing the problem of glue abuse requires intensive collaboration between parents, the community, the church, and the government to protect children from the adverse effects of substance abuse.

Abstract

This research analyzes the competency gaps among graduates of the Catholic Religious Education Study Program at Saint James Catholic College of Merauke from both alumni and user perspectives. Employing a case study design with descriptive qualitative approach supported by quantitative data, the study involved 45 alumni from the 2020-2024 graduation period and 45 graduate users in South Papua. Data collection was conducted through structured surveys, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Research findings reveal significant competency gaps in digital skills (-24.5%), multicultural communication (-18.3%), and pastoral leadership (-15.5%), while pastoral catechetical competency demonstrates a solid foundation with the smallest gap (-4.3%). Contributing factors include curriculum limitations that have not been responsive to technological developments, limited technology infrastructure, and post-pandemic digital transformation creating new competency demands. The dispersed geographical conditions of South Papua with the multicultural complexity of 20 ethnic groups add challenges for graduates in integrating Catholic values with local wisdom. Despite relatively high user satisfaction levels (4.51 on a scale of 5), there has been an increased demand for digital competency by 45%, social advocacy skills by 42%, and conflict management by 38% during 2020-2024. The research recommends responsive curriculum development, technology infrastructure strengthening, enhanced strategic partnerships with user institutions, and continuous professional development programs to bridge competency gaps.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the Shared Christian Praxis (SCP) catechesis model to enhance Catholic Youth (OMK) involvement in church life at St. John the Apostle Station Rawa Biru. The low participation of OMK (only 15% of 40 active members) serves as the research background. A qualitative method with participatory action research design was employed through observation, in-depth interviews with 6 informants, and documentation of catechesis implementation. Thomas Groome's SCP model was applied in two meetings with relevant themes. Research findings reveal three factors causing low involvement: economic (priority on livelihood as the dominant factor), internal (lack of motivation and self-confidence), and external (minimal family support and absence of structured formation). SCP implementation received positive responses despite limited participation. Participants showed progression from passive attitudes to greater openness in sharing experiences. The SCP model effectively increased Christian identity awareness, self-confidence, and involvement commitment, although its impact remains limited. The research concludes that the SCP model proves effective but requires systemic support and long-term consistency. This model offers a contextual and participatory catechesis alternative, integrating life experiences with faith traditions. Recommendations include developing holistic pastoral programs, enhancing local catechist capacity, and strengthening multi-level accompaniment systems.

Abstract

Millennials and Gen Z as the future of the Church have unique characteristics. These characteristics pose a challenge for traditional catechesis to reach and engage them in the proclamation of faith. This article explores the concept of contextualization of catechesis as a solution to overcome these challenges. Contextualization of catechesis can be defined as the process of adapting the message of faith to better suit the cultural and social audience. This contextualization of catechesis aims to make catechesis more relevant, interesting, and easily understood by the millennial generation and Gen Z. This article discusses catechesis contextualization strategies that can be applied, such as: understanding the characteristics and needs of millennials and Gen Z, utilizing technology and social media, involving millennials and Gen Z in the catechesis process, empowering creative and digitally literate catechists, and strengthening cooperation between family, Church, and school. In conclusion, contextualizing catechesis is an important and mandatory effort to reach and involve millennials and Gen Z so that they do not feel alienated in the Church. The author uses the term: “In through their door, out through our door”, because by applying the right strategy, contextualization of catechesis can touch the hearts and minds of millennials and Gen Z, helping them to grow in faith and Christian values.

Abstract

This topic is inspired by the situations and conditions that occur on the campus of the Catholic College of Saint Yakobus Merauke that quite a lot of students who are more dominant have associations that have an impact on interpersonal intelligence so that this thesis aims to see how much influence peer association has on the interpersonal intelligence of students at the Catholic College of Saint Yakobus Merauke. This type of research is quantitative with a regression analysis model. The sample in this study were students of the Catholic College of Saint Yakobus Merauke from semester II-XII as many as 132 people. The instrument used is a questionnaire with a semantic scale model developed in 98 statements with two variables, namely peer association (50) and interpersonal intelligence (48). From the validity test results at a significant level of 5%, N = 132 people with a critical value of 0.1 and the results of the peer association reliability test obtained an alpha coefficient of 0.903 means the reliability of the instrument is moderate and the reliability of inerpersonal intelligence obtained an alpha coefficient of 0.908 means the reliability of the instrument is very high. From the results of the simple linear regression test with a significant level of 5%, an r² value of 0.473 (47.3%) was obtained, which means that there is an influence even though the effect is weak, meaning that peer association does not have a significant impact on student interpersonal intelligence. Other variables that affect student interpersonal intelligence are 52.7%, which shows that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. This means that peers have an effect on student interpersonal intelligence. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that students need to increase socialization both within the scope of campus and outside campus and there is support from lecturers. In an effort to improve socialization in the world of education, namely creating a healthier, more inclusive and supportive learning environment. Increased interaction between peers has the potential to create a social environment that is harmonious and conducive to the personal development of students.

Abstract

This study aims to delineate the enhancement of learning outcomes in Catholic Religious Education through the implementation of audio-visual media amongst Year 8 students at State Junior High School 2 Merauke. The research employed a collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, executed across two cycles. The subjects comprised 19 Year 8 students participating in Catholic Religious Education lessons focused on the topic of the Proclamation of Jesus. Data were gathered via observation sheets, daily journals, and formative evaluation sheets. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement: the mean class score rose from 73.43 (Cycle I, n=16) to 77.35 (Cycle II, n=17), yielding a difference of 3.92 points. Furthermore, the percentage of academic mastery increased from 93.75% in Cycle I to 94.11% in Cycle II, whilst 93% of the students who participated in both cycles exhibited an improvement in their scores. These findings indicate that audio-visual media is highly effective in augmenting student motivation, active engagement, and conceptual understanding within Catholic Religious Education, owing to its capacity to present religious content in a concrete and contextualised manner. Consequently, the application of audio-visual media is recommended as a sustainable pedagogical strategy for Catholic Religious Education at the junior secondary school level.
