Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of godparents in accompanying the faith development of children at Saint Joseph Parish Gedangan, Semarang. The role of godparents is not merely symbolic during the baptismal ceremony, but also entails an ongoing responsibility to guide children toward maturity in faith. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design involving ten informants, consisting of the parish priest, catechists, godparents, and baptized children. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis methods. The findings indicate that the understanding and implementation of the godparents’ role develop in accordance with experience and social context. Godparents function as spiritual companions, role models of lived faith, and part of the child’s faith support system. Geographical distance and social mobility emerged as major challenges affecting the effectiveness of accompaniment. These findings emphasize the need for continuous formation for godparents, their integration into the parish pastoral system, and close collaboration between godparents, parents, and catechists. This study contributes theoretically to the development of studies on the sacraments of initiation and offers practical contributions for the Church in strengthening pastoral models of children’s faith accompaniment.

Abstract

Many educational institutions still rely on uniform instructional methods, which often diminish student motivation, cause feelings of monotony, hinder knowledge development, lower academic performance, and limit opportunities for creative exploration. This study aims to: (1) assess the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PJBL) model compared to traditional lecture-based instruction in enhancing student achievement; (2) investigate the influence of PJBL on students' creativity relative to the lecture method; and (3) examine the extent to which creativity contributes to overall learning outcomes. This research uses an experimental design comparing two groups of students: one taught using the PJBL model and the other using traditional lecture-based instruction. Data were collected through achievement tests, questionnaires, and observations of students' creative works. The results show that students who engaged in PJBL-based learning showed significant improvement in both academic performance and creativity compared to those in the lecture-based learning group. Additionally, creativity was found to positively contribute to overall learning outcomes. This study suggests that the implementation of the PJBL model can be an effective alternative to enhance student motivation, academic performance, and creative skills.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and describe the enhancement of students’ patriotic awareness through the implementation of the Catholic Religious Education and Character Formation (PAKBP) subject at SMP 5 Jagoi Babang. The research is grounded in the urgent need to cultivate nationalistic values from an early age, particularly in border areas, to safeguard students from external influences that may erode their sense of pride in being Indonesian citizens. A qualitative approach employing Classroom Action Research (CAR) was used and conducted in several cycles, consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were students of grades VII, VIII, and IX at SMP 5 Jagoi Babang. Data were collected through classroom observations of students’ participation, interviews with PAKBP teachers and students, and document analysis of lesson plans (RPP) integrating patriotic values. The indicators of success were identified through positive behavioral and attitudinal changes reflecting love for the homeland, such as active participation in flag ceremonies, respect for national symbols, and environmental stewardship within the school. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ patriotic awareness following the structured and contextually relevant application of PAKBP learning. Teachers successfully linked core Catholic faith teachings with the sociocultural and civic context, emphasizing the importance of being responsible citizens in accordance with Christian values. This implementation proved effective in fostering a spirit of nationalism that became internalized in the students’ daily attitudes and practices, both within the school and in the broader community.

Abstract

Catholic Religious and Character Education (PAK-BP) aims to form students’ character based on Christian values; however, its implementation in schools often remains theoretical. This classroom action research (CAR) seeks to enhance students’ understanding of faith and the application of Christian moral values through the Project-Based Learning (PJBL) method. PJBL emphasizes contextual and experiential learning through projects relevant to students’ daily lives. The research subjects were Grade 10 students in Tanjung Palas Barat, with instruments including classroom observations, project rubrics, and written reflections. The findings show that the use of PJBL effectively improved students’ understanding of faith and their ability to apply Christian moral values in various social, environmental, and school projects. These projects included community service, environmental stewardship, and faith-based school activities that fostered collaboration, responsibility, and compassion. The outcomes also align with Church teachings as stated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (nos. 1700–1789) and Amoris Laetitia, emphasizing moral formation and faith lived through love. In conclusion, the implementation of PJBL in Catholic Religious Education successfully internalized Christian values in a contextual and meaningful way. This method enables students not only to learn about faith but also to practice it through real-life actions rooted in Gospel values.

Abstract

This classroom action research aims to improve students’ understanding and appreciation of the values of Jesus’ love through the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model among Grade 10 students at SMA Negeri 1 Kahaungu Eti, East Sumba. The study was motivated by the reality that most Catholic students in this school had never received formal Catholic Religious Education in previous levels, resulting in a limited cognitive grasp of faith without a corresponding manifestation in loving actions. The research was conducted in two cycles following the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, interviews, reflective questionnaires, and documentation. The findings reveal that the use of PBL enhanced students’ active participation in learning and fostered reflective attitudes toward their lived experiences. Students demonstrated a deeper understanding of Jesus’ love and applied it in social relationships at school, such as cooperation, mutual help, and respect for diversity. Therefore, the Problem-Based Learning model proved effective in developing the cognitive, affective, and practical dimensions of faith among Catholic students within a multireligious educational environment.

Abstract

This classroom action research aims to improve students’ attitudes and learning achievement through the implementation of Karisma Kasih values within the Ora et Labora Learning Experience Design (DPB) at RK Bintang Timur Catholic Senior High School, Pematangsiantar. The Ora et Labora approach integrates spiritual and academic dimensions through reflective and collaborative learning experiences. The study employed the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were 32 tenth-grade students enrolled in Catholic Religious Education. Data were collected through observation, attitude questionnaires, and learning achievement tests, and were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods. The results revealed significant improvements in faith-based attitudes, collaboration, and social responsibility, along with an increase in students’ average academic score from 73.5 in the first cycle to 84.2 in the second cycle. These findings indicate that integrating Karisma Kasih values through the Ora et Labora approach fosters meaningful learning, strengthens Christian character formation, and enhances students’ academic performance. This model is recommended as a contextual pedagogical strategy for promoting holistic Catholic education.
