Abstract

This study examines the role of listening in the pedagogical practices of Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers with an emphasis on the function and strategy of listening as a holistic and relational approach. Through observation of narrative literature on various educational literature, this study identified four main functions of listening, namely: building trust relationships, upholding equality, being a means of assessment, and as a relational pedagogical tool. In addition, four main strategies were found that can be applied by CRE teachers, namely: listening in three stages (pre, during, and post), metacognitive and critical strategy, a holistic approach, and listening attentively. This study also revealed the contradiction between the function of listening as an evaluative versus relational tool, as well as research related to the quantitative influence of listening on student learning outcomes. These results indicate the importance of listening as a form of professional ethics, an expression of love, and a means to explore spiritual meaning in the relationship between teachers and students. This study recommends strengthening CRE teacher training in developing listening competencies as an integral part of transformative teaching.

Abstract

The erosion of communal values such as gotong royong (mutual cooperation) in Indonesia’s multicultural society poses a threat to adolescents’ social intelligence and tolerance, particularly in diverse educational settings. This qualitative case study explores how a Social Project-Based Learning (SPBL) model facilitates the internalization of gotong royong values and consequently improves social intelligence and tolerance among eighth-grade students in a multicultural public junior high school in Surabaya, Indonesia. Data were collected over one semester through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with 30 students, two teacher facilitators, and the school principal, as well as document analysis of student reflective journals and project artifacts. Thematic analysis revealed three overarching themes: (1) internalization of gotong royong through collective action, shared responsibility, and voluntary altruism; (2) enhancement of social intelligence manifested in empathic communication, social awareness, and conflict management; and (3) strengthening of tolerance evidenced by religious acceptance, cultural respect, and open intergroup dialogue. The SPBL model operated as a situated learning ecosystem where collaborative community service projects—such as interfaith clean-up drives and multicultural festivals—activated authentic social interactions, reciprocal scaffolding, and affective engagement. Findings indicate that gotong royong values were not merely taught but lived, transforming students’ predisposition toward difference and equipping them with durable interpersonal competencies. The study recommends integrating SPBL into character and civic education curricula across Indonesia’s pluralistic schools
