Abstract

Liturgical activities are the center of the Church’s faith life and serve as the primary means of fostering the faith of Catholic communities. However, many parish outstation members still require guidance regarding the order of the Eucharistic Celebration, the roles of liturgical ministers, and the enrichment of liturgical music. This community service activity was carried out at St. Christopher Delawau Outstation, Christ the King Gido Parish, on Sunday, November 9, 2025, by the Dian Mandala Choir group. The purpose of this activity was to introduce the proper order of the Eucharistic Celebration, to socialize Latin Ordinarium songs, and to build a spirit of fraternity in faith. The methods used included the Eucharistic Celebration, liturgical practice, choir training, demonstrations of liturgical duties, and fraternal interaction. The results of the activity indicated improved understanding among the faithful regarding the Eucharistic Celebration, enhanced skills in liturgical ministries (conductor, lector, psalmist, homilist), and the development of emotional closeness as fellow believers. This community service demonstrates that practice-based and dialogical approaches have a positive impact on strengthening the quality of liturgy among outstation communities.

Abstract

The title raised in the research is the implementation of constructivism learning theory according to Jean Piaget in Catholic religious education learning for the Alpha generation. The method used in this research is literature review research. While the purpose of this research is to find out how to apply constructivism learning theory according to Jean Piaget in Catholic religious education learning for the Alpha generation. Simply put, it can be explained that Piaget stated that learning is an active construction in which individuals continuously adapt to their environment. Catholic religious education aims to instill universal values such as love, justice, and peace, and encourage students to practice them in everyday life. The Alpha generation, which grew up in the digital era, has a very close relationship with technology. Based on the theory of constructivism, Jean Piaget identified three main principles in learning, namely active learning, social learning, and learning through direct experience. These principles can be implemented and applied in Catholic religious learning. The application of constructivism learning theory according to Jean Piaget in Catholic religious education learning for the alpha generation can make learning activities or processes varied and effective, especially if students are directly involved in the learning process through experience and are able to create new concepts based on experiences experienced by students. So that the objectives of Catholic religious education learning can be achieved properly.

Abstract

The development of digital technology demands pedagogical innovation in Catholic Religious Education (CRE), particularly at the Catholic Junior High School (SMPK) level. One emerging approach is Game-Based Learning (GBL). This study aims to systematically analyze the integration of GBL in CRE and to formulate its pedagogical implications for improving the quality of learning. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review method, with data sources drawn from Google Scholar, ERIC, Scopus, and Garuda within the 2019–2025 period. The initial search yielded 132 articles, and after a selection process based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 28 articles were analyzed in depth. The synthesis results indicate that GBL is effective in enhancing students’ motivation and engagement; however, most studies still focus on cognitive aspects and have not extensively explored the dimension of faith formation. Therefore, the integration of GBL in CRE needs to be situated within a holistic faith pedagogy framework through stages of strengthening faith content, contextual game design, active engagement, value reflection, and the internalization and transformation of attitudes. This study contributes conceptually by proposing an integrative framework of GBL in CRE and offers practical implications for junior high school teachers in designing innovative and reflective learning.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the learning process of Catholic religious education in the classroom experienced as only for the sake of cognitive formation that is done simply. Cognitive formation is not an easy thing to do, but requires a strategy for the achievement of maximum learning outcomes. In reality, in the learning process, students follow more, so that their cognition is getting weaker. In this case, Jerome S. Brunner suggests that, cognitive theory becomes very important in achieving educational goals, including in Catholic religious education. Meanwhile, the purpose of this research is that students can achieve good mental or cognitive quality, not just intelligence alone. The method used in this research is the literature review method. The results of this study are first, cognitive learning theory is a theory in which it states that the learning process takes precedence over the learning outcomes. Second, the active participation of individuals in the cognitive process is the basis for achieving the learning objectives of Catholic religion. Third, Catholic religious teachers as facilitators who motivate and evaluate students in the learning process of Catholic religious education. Fourth, Catholic religious teachers can use Bruner's cognitive theory for the application of Catholic religious education learning in the classroom.
