Abstract

This research aims to develop a model of Christian Religious Education that is oriented towards improving students' intellectual intelligence and character building through a qualitative approach. This approach was chosen to deeply understand the learning dynamics and interactions that occur in the context of religious education.The research method used is a descriptive qualitative study with data collection techniques through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The research subjects included Christian Religious Education teachers and students in a junior high school in Timika, Central Papua. Data analysis was conducted using a thematic approach to identify patterns and themes relevant to the development of learning models. The results show that the integration of teaching Christian doctrine with the development of critical and reflective thinking skills is effective in improving students' intellectual intelligence. In addition, the emphasis on Christian values such as love, integrity, and responsibility in the learning process contributes significantly to students' character building. The developed model also emphasizes the importance of local and cultural context in the delivery of material, making it more relevant and easily accepted by students. The implication of this research is the need for training for teachers in implementing a holistic learning model, which not only focuses on cognitive but also affective aspects. In addition, the involvement of the community and parents in the education process is an important supporting factor in the success of student character building.

Abstract

Academic anxiety is a common challenge for lower-grade elementary school students, often triggered by academic tasks, examinations, or teacher evaluations. Such anxiety can diminish concentration, reduce motivation, and hinder academic performance if left unaddressed. To address this issue, schools require interventions that are developmentally appropriate and effective. One promising approach is play counseling, which utilizes play as a natural medium for children to express feelings, confront fears, and develop coping strategies in a safe environment. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of structured play counseling in reducing academic anxiety while enhancing students’ motivation and self-confidence. A qualitative literature review method was employed, drawing upon academic articles, reports, and publications from 2015–2025 obtained through reputable databases including Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and SpringerLink. Articles focusing on play therapy, counseling, and academic anxiety among elementary school children were systematically analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that play counseling, particularly through non-directive play, cognitive-behavioral play therapy (CBPT), and child-centered play therapy (CCPT), significantly reduces academic anxiety by providing children with a safe medium for symbolic expression. Moreover, play counseling fosters motivation and builds academic self-confidence by reframing learning as enjoyable exploration rather than stressful evaluation. Case studies demonstrate improvements in classroom participation, test-taking resilience, and peer interaction. These results highlight play counseling as an effective psychosocial intervention that supports both emotional well-being and academic outcomes for young learners. The study contributes to developing adaptive play-based counseling strategies suitable for Indonesian elementary school settings.
