Abstract

Background. Old age is often considered a burden for productive people. This is motivated by the aging process, which includes physical decline and psychological and social problems. Seeing this, the church must take a role in discipling its people and not ignore the needs experienced by old age. Purpose. This is intended so that the church can take part in the welfare of the elderly by paying attention to every aspect of their growth and making it contextual with the Christian religious guidance provided. Methods. This study uses qualitative methods with descriptive types and data collection techniques, namely in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Results. The research results obtained from defining psychological and psychological-sociological needs based on B.S. Sidjaga, Ed.D is that the elderly tend to feel sad, easily suspicious, defend themselves against experiences, egocentrism, stress due to family, and tend to have irritable emotions. Furthermore, in the psychological-sociological phase, which tends to be in the phase of despair in line with Erik Erikson's theory of feeling worried, anxious, and afraid, This feeling is felt by almost all the elderly at the Tresna Werda Sinta Rangkang Social Institution, due to their background age before entering the orphanage and their decline. Conclusion. The elderly require coaching in psychological and psychological-sociological fields, as they often experience the indicators of integrity vs. despair, as per Erik Erikson's developmental theory. However, Christian religious formation at PSTW Sinta Rangkang has not prioritized these psychological conditions, leading to general teaching materials and monotonous coaching. To address this, Christian Religious Development should collaborate with churches, communities, and other Christian institutions, provide teaching materials that address the needs and struggles of the elderly, and create a written curriculum that outlines objectives, materials, methods, and evaluation of coaching activities

Abstract

Children's creativity, defined as the ability to think originally and flexibly, is evident in drawing, playing, and various creations. Observations at Permata Ibu Kindergarten show that students have low curiosity, get bored quickly, are passive, and have limited imagination, which indicates a potential lack of creative thinking skills. This study aims to describe the creative thinking abilities of early childhood children at Permata Ibu Kindergarten. The research was conducted in 2023 using a qualitative descriptive approach, referring to the stages of Graham Wallas' creative thinking process. The research location is Permata Ibu Kindergarten in Palangka Raya, with 5 large group students as subjects. Data collection techniques include observation, unstructured interviews, and tests (writing numbers, reading, writing words/letters, and counting). Data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, and their validity was tested thru source triangulation and technique triangulation. The research results show that during the preparation stage, students are able to recognize the types of questions and recall relevant information. During the incubation stage, some students exhibited brief thinking behavior before attempting to solve the problem. During the illumination stage, most students were able to generate ideas or solution steps, although some still struggled to explain their thinking process. During the verification stage, not all students rechecked their answers or generated alternative solutions. Out of the five students, three were at the creative thinking level category 2 (moderately creative), one was category 1 (less creative), and one was category 0 (not creative). These findings indicate variations in creative thinking abilities among early childhood children and the need for learning strategies that are more stimulating to creativity
