This paper examines the role of teachers in shaping students' spiritual habits through theapplication of behavioristic principles in Hindu Religious Education (PAH) which includesformal (school), non-formal (pasraman), and online-offline learning. The main objective is toidentify how stimulus-response and reinforcement can be designed operationally to strengthenspiritual habits such as ritual discipline, empathy, tolerance, and dharma attitudes in students'daily lives, while nurturing Hindu cultural values (Tri Kaya Parisudha and Sad Dharma).Conceptual methods are used to formulate a behavior-based instructional design framework,followed by multidimensional evaluation guidelines (cognitive, affective, psychomotor) that linkritual actions to learning consequences. Practically, the role of teachers includes (a) being a rolemodel and facilitator of reflection through consistent feedback; (b) designing explicit stimuli(tattwa, morality, events) that are combined with positive reinforcement (rewards, roles,certificates) and educational reinforcement (explanation of action consequences); and (c)integrating instructional designs such as blended learning, behavior-oriented problem-basedapproaches (PBL), and multidimensional rubric-based evaluations. This writing contributes tothe development of PAH learning models that are more systematic, dharma-value-oriented, andculturally and globally relevant.
