Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of the narrative-experiential approach in shaping the character of honesty among students at SD Inpres Lewolere through Catholic Religious Education (CRE). Character education is essential in creating individuals who are not only intellectually capable but also morally responsible. However, the current state of education highlights a crisis in character, particularly in terms of honesty, as seen in incidents of cheating, plagiarism, and falsifying signatures. This indicates that academic education, which has been prioritized, has not yet fully succeeded in forming individuals with strong moral integrity. Honesty, a core value in Catholic teachings, is integral to developing healthy relationships and a dignified life. Despite this, the traditional teaching methods, especially in Catholic Religious Education, tend to be conventional, focused on lecturing, and lack the depth necessary to evoke true moral awareness among students. The narrative-experiential approach, which blends storytelling with direct personal experience, offers a transformative pedagogical model. By combining religious narratives with experiential learning, this method helps students not only understand moral values cognitively but also internalize them emotionally and spiritually. Previous research supports that this approach can effectively instill values like honesty, as it encourages students to reflect on and apply these values in real-life contexts. The study was conducted over four months at SD Inpres Lewolere, involving interviews and reflective activities with both a teacher and six students. The findings suggest that the narrative-experiential approach significantly impacts students’ ability to internalize and apply the value of honesty. It fosters active participation, moral reflection, and behavioral transformation. The study concludes that integrating narrative and experiential learning in CRE can be highly effective in character education, particularly in instilling honesty among students. This approach, when consistently applied, leads to the holistic development of students' character, integrating moral understanding, emotional reflection, and concrete actions.

Abstract

One of the figures in the Bible who has an important role in the history of salvation is Mary. Mary's role began when she was called and chosen by God to conceive and give birth to the Word of God in the mystery of the Incarnation and her totality in accompanying Jesus in the work of His life until the fullness of Jesus' "moment" namely redemption on the cross. Mary's role is specifically contained in the four Gospels. Many studies have examined Mary's role from the perspective of the synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John specifically in the aspects of holiness, discipleship and obedience. This research examines aspects of Mary's constitutive appointment as mother of the Church in the Gospel of John 19:25-27. The method used in this research is a literature study with a descriptive analysis approach to the text of John 19:25-27. Through this research, it was found that the text of John 19:25-27 can be interpreted as a theological basis that supports the appointment of Mary as Mother of the Church. The theological significance of the relationship between Mary, Jesus, and John on the cross brings a deeper understanding of Mary's role in the Church.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to describe the Principal's Academic Supervision in Improving Teacher Performance at Mother of Sacred Heart Catholic Junior High School Woloan. The research method used in the preparation of this thesis is descriptive-qualitative approach. Data sources consist of one principal and teachers at Mother of Sacred Heart Catholic Junior High School Woloan. Collection techniques include observation, interview, and documentation. The collected data were then analyzed through the following steps: data reduction, data presentation and data verification. The results showed that principals actively carry out academic supervision through several stages, namely supervision planning, implementation of classroom observations, and follow-up in the form of coaching. Supervision is carried out in a structured manner and uses a nurturing and dialogical approach. Supporting factors for the implementation of supervision include the communicative leadership of the principal, teacher support and a positive work climate. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors include internal factors of teachers in terms of self and administrative readiness in the implementation of supervision. The principal's development efforts in academic supervision to improve teacher performance in implementing academic supervision include systematic supervision planning, direct classroom observation, providing constructive feedback, and follow-up in the form of coaching and training such as In-House Training (IHT).

Abstract

This research presents an overview of artificial intelligence (AI) and its relationship with young people and the Catholic Church. AI has become an integral part of human life, increasingly integrated into daily routines, particularly among young people. The Catholic Church acknowledges and understands the rapid development of AI technology, recognizing it as both a challenge and an opportunity for the growth of young people's faith. This journal employs a literature review method, analyzing various books, articles, and academic journals that discuss artificial intelligence, youth, faith development, and the Church. Through this approach, the author identifies contemporary ideas that explore the relationship between young people and AI, as well as the appropriate attitudes to adopt in response to this phenomenon. Furthermore, the opportunities and challenges arising from the interaction between youth and AI are central to this study. As both the present and future of the Church, young people play a vital role in shaping the faith community. They are also the primary subjects of evangelization, being most directly exposed to AI technologies. The interaction between youth and AI within the context of Church life presents both opportunities and challenges. The convenience, speed, and broad reach offered by AI are seen as significant advantages. However, the reduction in direct interpersonal interaction poses a serious challenge, reflected in the decline of empathy, sensitivity, and awareness of surrounding social conditions. Therefore, the opportunities and challenges presented by AI in the lives of young people within the Church must be addressed wisely and appropriately to ensure that they contribute positively to the broader community.

Abstract

The global ethical crisis, intensified by digital culture, has reduced love to a mere emotional expression, stripping it of its normative force in the public sphere. Pope Francis’ encyclical Fratelli Tutti (2020) offers a corrective by presenting love as the foundation of universal fraternity; however, its integration into Catholic religious education remains underexplored. This study aims to analyze love as a normative principle through the lens of Thomistic meta-ethics (ordo amoris) and examine its pedagogical implications for Catholic Religious Education in the digital era. Employing a philosophical-theological analysis and critical document study, this research synthesizes magisterial teaching, Aquinas’ moral teleology, and contextual catechetical methodologies. The primary contribution of this work lies in mapping a conceptual pathway from normative ethics to pedagogy by embedding ordo amoris into instructional strategies responsive to pluralism and algorithmic polarization. Findings affirm that a Catholic education grounded in normative love not only resists sentimental moralism but also functions as a transformative agent for social renewal, advancing the vision of universal fraternity advocated in Fratelli Tutti.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of pedagogical competence among Catholic Religious Education (CRE) teachers at SD Negeri 004 Tering, East Kalimantan. Pedagogical competence serves as a foundation for effective instruction, particularly when integrated with the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach that connects faith-based content to students’ real-life experiences. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving one CRE teacher and nine students. The findings indicate that the teacher demonstrates comprehensive pedagogical competence across lesson planning, instructional delivery, and authentic evaluation aligned with the CTL framework. The integrated learning cycle consisting of planning, implementation, and reflection, illustrates how faith values are contextualized through discovery, questioning, and reflective activities. This process cultivates moral awareness, critical thinking, and spiritual sensitivity among students. The study concludes that the pedagogical competence of CRE teachers functions as a transformative medium linking faith teachings with everyday life, embodying the essence of learning by believing within the spirit of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

Environmental issues have become an important subject of studies among academics. One of the efforts taken to address these issues is to explore the richness of the indigenous cultures of traditional societies. This study aims to present the traditional wisdom of the Manggaraians in responding to environmental crises. The study presented in this article focuses itself on digging out the concept of universal communion in the ritual of Barong Waé of the Manggaraians in eastern Indonesia and gives a critical study on it in the perspective of universal communion of Laudato Si’ as one of official teachings of the Catholic Church on ecology. Data collected for this study are obtained by using in-depth interviews and studying available literatures. It was found that the concept of universal communion in Barong Waé Ritual of the Manggaraians is similar to the concept of ​​universal communion in the Encyclic of Laudato Si’. The richness of the concept of universal communion in the ritual of Barong Waé of the Manggaraians is juxtaposed with richness of the concept of universal communion in the Encyclic of Laudato Si and this juxtaposition can become a very valuable contribution to a pastoral ecology of the Catholic Church.

Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of examining the influence of the internalization of serviam values through Catholic religious education learning on the character and academic achievement of students at SMP Santa Ursula Jakarta. The research data were obtained from the distribution of questionnaires to 71 students from grade VIII at SMP Santa Ursula Jakarta. The data were analyzed using SmartPLS. This research employed a quantitative approach with analytical methods to identify the coefficient influence of the research variables. A portion of the population was used to collect data for this research. The results of the Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) test show that the significance values for the four multivariate tests; Pillai’s Trace, Wilks’ Lambda, Hotelling’s Trace, and Roy’s Largest Root, on the Intercept variable yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). This indicates that the overall model is significant. Furthermore, for the independent variable of serviam values, the four multivariate tests also produced significance values smaller than 0.05, with details as follows: Pillai’s Trace: F = 2.653; Sig. = 0.018; Wilks’ Lambda: F = 2.686; Sig. = 0.017; Hotelling’s Trace: F = 2.717; Sig. = 0.016; Roy’s Largest Root: F = 4.722; Sig. = 0.005. These results demonstrate a significant influence of serviam values on students’ character and academic achievement.
