Abstract

This study examines the relationship between household literacy, access to basic infrastructure, and the quality of primary education in Eastern Indonesia within the framework of Christian Religious Education values. Using a quantitative explanatory design, the research analyzes national socio-economic data with provinces as the unit of analysis. The model was tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the predictive power of household access to safe water, access to electricity, and literacy level on primary education outcomes, measured by the average national exam score. The results show that access to safe water (β = 0.294, p < 0.05) and electricity (β = 0.290, p < 0.05) have significant positive effects on education quality, while literacy level (β = 0.081, p > 0.05) is not statistically significant. The model explains 34.7% of the variance in education quality (R² = 0.347). These findings indicate that improving basic infrastructure remains essential to enhancing educational outcomes in Eastern Indonesia. Integrating Christian educational values such as justice, love, and service can further strengthen community motivation and collective responsibility toward equitable education development.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of education management based on deep learning, which combines an intensive pedagogical approach and spiritual values to increase student enrollment in Christian Junior High Schools (SMP) in Batam. With a strategy emphasizing meaningful learning, intensive interaction, and integration of spiritual values, this research aims to analyze how innovative education management can strengthen the appeal of Christian schools and improve overall education quality. A mixed-methods approach was used, collecting quantitative and qualitative data through surveys, interviews, and observations at 36 Christian SMPs in Batam. The results indicate that the synergy between deep learning-based management, curriculum innovation, and spiritual leadership of school principals significantly contributes to enhancing education quality and student enrollment. This article provides practical recommendations for developing school management based on meaningful and spiritual learning as a model for improving the quality and competitiveness of Christian schools in the global era.

Abstract

The Bible teaches much about wisdom. It could even be said to be a book of wisdom. One of the wisdoms it teaches is honesty. The biblical definition of honesty encompasses various aspects of human life, including relationships with oneself, others, and God. Given the breadth of the discussion on honesty, the author limits the discussion to the book of Proverbs, the person and teachings of Jesus, the writings of Paul, and the story of honesty in the life of Joseph. n the Bible, honesty is a highly emphasized moral value. Honesty is not merely about not lying, but also encompasses sincerity of heart, truthfulness in words and deeds, and integrity in all aspects of life. The Bible provides numerous examples and teachings about the importance of honesty, both in human relationships and in our relationship with God. Honesty is not only about avoiding lies, but also about doing what is right and according to God's will.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of Creativity Education and Growth Mindset in Catholic Religious Education (CRE) at Senior High Schools and examines its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, focusing on quality and inclusive education. Using a Systematic Literature Review based on the PRISMA 2020 protocol, the study analyzed 1,263 articles from scientific databases, narrowing down to 106 relevant studies. The findings highlight that Creativity Education fosters critical thinking, cognitive flexibility, problem-solving, and the integration of moral and spiritual values. Growth Mindset enhances students’ intrinsic motivation, perseverance, and resilience, creating an adaptive, innovative, and inclusive learning environment. The synthesis led to the development of an integrative learning model, which includes the Creative Reflective Learning Cycle, Faith-Based Project Learning, Creative Growth Dialogue, and Digital Creativity Integration. This model aims to holistically develop students’ cognitive, creative, moral, and spiritual capacities. The study demonstrates that the combination of Creativity Education and Growth Mindset enriches CRE pedagogical practices and supports the development of 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, digital literacy, and moral literacy. It concludes that project-based learning, digital technology integration, and curriculum adjustments are vital steps in improving learning quality and inclusiveness. The study recommends further empirical research to test the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the understanding of the faithful and the implementation of Eucharistic liturgical gestures at Saint Christopher Parish, Siborongborong. Liturgical gestures such as the sign of the cross, standing, sitting, kneeling, and striking the chest are essential elements of active participation in the Eucharistic celebration. These gestures are not just physical actions but carry profound spiritual significance. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the faithful’s understanding of the symbolic meaning of these gestures remains limited, which leads to a tendency to perform them mechanically without deep spiritual reflection. This lack of understanding results in a disconnect between the physical actions and their intended spiritual effects. Nevertheless, in practice, the faithful generally follow these gestures in accordance with the liturgical norms of the Church. Therefore, the study emphasizes the need for continuous and contextual liturgical formation programs. These programs should aim to deepen the awareness and spiritual engagement of the faithful in the Eucharistic celebration, ensuring that the gestures are not just performed but fully understood and internalized.

Abstract

This study examines the lived faith of Catholic migrants from East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) who have migrated to the Muslim-majority landscape of South Kalimantan, Indonesia. These migrants face a profound crisis of identity as they transition from a dominant religious environment to a marginalized minority status, necessitating a research objective that explores how their faith is reinterpreted amidst such socio-religious pressures. Employing a qualitative phenomenological-hermeneutical method, the research utilizes Paul Ricoeur’s threefold mimesis - prefiguration, configuration, and refiguration - as its primary interpretive framework. The findings reveal a significant narrative shift from an inherited “communal Catholic habitus” to a “refigured faith” characterized by personal agency and reflective commitment. This transformation is sustained through adaptive relational ethics, such as the sanctification of work and collaborative hospitality, which allow migrants to navigate their vulnerability. The study synthesizes these experiences to conclude that internal migration constitutes a vital locus theologicus, wherein the rupture of traditional religious structures does not erode faith but rather matures it into a more resilient, intentional, and relational existential orientation. Consequently, migration emerges as a transformative theological process that redefines the intersection of faith, culture, and minority existence in pluralistic societies.
