Abstract

In the dynamic era of modern education, the educational philosophy of behaviorism and progressivism offers a different approach that remains relevant in the modern education system (Khosiah et al., 2024). Behaviorism, pioneered by John Watson and B.F. Skinner, considers learning as a change in behavior due to stimulus and response. In practice, students are trained through repeated practice, rewards for positive actions, and definite assessment of results. This research is used to learn more about standardized tests, digital learning platforms and competency-based curricula to develop students' basic skills such as reading, writing and arithmetic. On the other hand, progressivism pioneered by John Dewey emphasized learning through direct experience and children's interests. Children learn by doing projects, having group discussions, and solving everyday problems. The teacher's role is more as a guide, not just delivering material, so that students can grow creative, independent, and able to work together in a democratic environment. Thus, in the current Indonesian educational context, for example in the Independent Curriculum, it can be seen that these two streams complement each other (Parwati, 2023). Therefore, behaviorism can help education achieve learning outcomes through technology, while progressivism encourages learning based on local culture, group work and character development. This combination prepares students to face the digital world, work challenges, and a harmonious and inclusive society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of social media usage on daily Bible devotion habits and the mental health of fourth-semester students in the Christian Religious Education Study Program at IAKN Kupang. In this digital age, there has been a significant increase in social media usage among Christian students, which may affect their spiritual discipline and mental health. The methodology used in this study is a quantitative approach with a causal explanatory survey design. A total of 45 students became the research sample, taken using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire using a Likert scale and analyzed with SPSS software version 26, including descriptive analysis, classical assumption tests, multiple regression, and path analysis. The research findings indicate that the intensity of social media usage has a significant negative impact on daily Bible devotion patterns and mental well-being (β = -0.347; p = 0.002). Daily Bible devotion patterns function as a partial mediator with an indirect effect of -0.189 (p < 0.05). Devotion has a significant positive influence on mental health (β = 0.516; p = 0.000). The regression model successfully explained 58.2% of the variation in mental health (R Square = 0.582). This study concluded that daily Bible devotion serves as a protective factor that can reduce the negative impact of social media.
