Abstract

Students' learning interest at the Buddhist Sunday School had once declined, as reflected in the low attendance rate. After a change in management, the addition of facilities and improvement of infrastructure were carried out, which led to a significant increase in student attendance data. This study aims to analyze: (1) the causes of low student attendance prior to the improvement of facilities and infrastructure, (2) the current availability of learning facilities and infrastructure at SMB, and (3) the influence of learning facilities and infrastructure on increasing students' learning interest at SMB Vihara Theravada Buddha Sasana, Kelapa Gading, Jakarta. This research employed a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study method. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and parents, and questionnaires distributed to SMB students. The study was conducted at SMB Vihara Theravada Buddha Sasana, Jakarta, with participants selected purposively according to research criteria. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, while data analysis was carried out descriptively and qualitatively to understand changes in students' learning interest before and after the improvement of facilities and infrastructure at SMB. The results show that: (1) the decline in student attendance in 2022 was due to the adequate availability of facilities and infrastructure at SMB, (2) at present, the facilities and infrastructure at SMB are sufficient to support the learning process. The temple management provides facilities such as comfortable classrooms and various supporting equipment for religious learning and other activities, thus creating a conducive learning environment, and (3) after the improvement of facilities and infrastructure, the average student attendance in SMB activities increased significantly. The availability of complete facilities and infrastructure enables the implementation of diverse and interactive learning methods, which can stimulate and sustain students' learning interest. This increase in learning interest aligns with Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory and the four-phase model of interest development, in which the fulfillment of basic physical and safety needs, along with engaging learning stimulation, positively contributes to the growth of students' intrinsic motivation, which in turn impacts their learning interest. Therefore, the provision of adequate learning facilities and infrastructure is proven to play a significant role in enhancing students' learning interest at SMB.

Abstract

Character education at the elementary school level serves as a crucial foundation in shaping students’ character from an early age. One of the initiatives implemented to support this goal is the Diary Kebajika program, which involves recording daily good deeds as a form of self-reflection. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Diary Kebajikan in character education at SD Sivaliputta, focusing on the process of implementation, supporting and inhibiting factors, as well as the improvement of students’ moral conduct. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. The research subjects included the principal, teachers, parents, and students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and written and visual documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, combined with the CIPP evaluation model (Context, Input, Process, Product), ensuring that the findings were not only descriptive but also interretative. The results indicate that the Diary Kebajikan program was effectively implemented due to the support of teachers, the involvement of parents, and the enthusiasm of students. The program successfully fostered honesty, discipline, care, politeness, and respect toward teachers and parents, reflected both at school and at home. Obstacles such as students’ negligence in writing or limited reading ability were addressed through teachers’ guidance and parental assistance. Interpretatively, the success of the program lies not only in the diary itself but also in the synergy among schools, families, and the learning environment, as emphasized in the educational philosophy of Ki Hajar Dewantara. Furthermore, the program aligns with Buddhist teachings through the Buddhist Five Precepts, the Sigalovada Sutta, and the cultivation of the Brahmavihāras. Thus, the Diary Kebajika contributes as a model of character education based on daily reflection that is contextual, religious, and sustainable in elementary education
