Abstract

Tari Bonet, as a cultural heritage of the Dawan ethnic group in East Nusa Tenggara, holds values of unity and kinship that are relevant in building a multicultural society. However, modernization and globalization have shifted the attention of the younger generation from local culture to popular culture, threatening the existence of the values embedded in Tari Bonet. This study aims to explore the meaning of multiculturalism in Tari Bonet from the perspective of Christian Religious Education, using a qualitative approach through ethnographic methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, church leaders, and educators, as well as observations of the performance of Tari Bonet in various social contexts. The research findings indicate that Tari Bonet is not only a symbol of togetherness but also a learning tool for instilling Christian values such as love, tolerance, and respect for diversity. The discussion highlights the role of Christian Religious Education in integrating local cultural values with multicultural principles, while also contributing to cultural preservation efforts. The conclusion of this research emphasizes the importance of synergy between education, the church, and society in preserving Tari Bonet as a medium for shaping the character of the younger generation to appreciate cultural diversity within the framework of Christian faith. This study offers new insights into how local culture can serve as a bridge toward multicultural harmony

Abstract

This study aims to explore the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in Christian Religious Education at Jayapura Joint High School. At Jayapura Joint High School, although there have been various learning methods applied, the use of Augmented Reality (AR) as a learning medium in Christian Religious Education (PAK) has not been used. This shows the untapped potential to improve the student learning experience. This research is a qualitative research. This approach was chosen because it aims to understand the phenomenon that occurs in the context of Christian religious education at Jayapura Joint High School through the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology. The case study approach, allows researchers to investigate complex phenomena in real contexts. One of the key findings of this study is the improvement of material understanding among students who use AR as a learning medium. Students who learn to use AR show a much higher level of engagement in the learning process compared to traditional learning methods. One of the main challenges is the need for adequate hardware. Research reveals that the use of (AR) in education, especially in instilling PAK (Christian Religious Education) values, shows significant results in increasing student understanding and engagement. The results show that students who learn through AR have a higher level of information retention compared to traditional methods. AR can increase student engagement in PAK learning which has a positive impact on their learning motivation.

Abstract

The phenomenon of respect for ancestors is as old as human civilization itself. This occurs due to the belief that deceased individuals can communicate God's will to those still living. A particular issue arises in the tradition of burning candles at graves, a practice believed to connect the living with their ancestors. The absence of this ritual is thought to bring adverse consequences for the community. Using descriptive qualitative methods and the theoretical framework of Ancestor Worship, this study examines the tradition of candle burning at graves. The objectives of this research are to explore the cultural and spiritual significance of the candle-burning tradition, identify its role in fostering ancestral respect, and assess its implications for religious practices, particularly among the Fatululi Carmel congregation in Kupang City. Additionally, the study seeks to analyze the potential for syncretism between traditional beliefs and Christian teachings. Research findings indicate that the Fatululi Carmel congregation performs this tradition on December 24th and 31st to strengthen relationships with ancestors, based on the belief in life after death. This practice reflects a perception that ancestors can contribute to a peaceful life for the community. The study highlights the Church's role in providing a Biblical perspective on such traditions through educational methods like Bible study classes, sermons, and cultural inculturation efforts. Furthermore, Christian Religious Education contributes to fostering faith, critical cultural awareness, and greater appreciation for cultural diversity while promoting tolerance and respect across traditions.
