Disrupsi Digital dan Krisis Spiritualitas: Tantangan Pendidikan Agama Kristen bagi Generasi Z
Abstract Digital disruption has brought fundamental changes to the mindset, lifestyle, relational patterns, and identity formation of Generation Z, who from birth have lived within an ecosystem of technology, social media, and unlimited information flows. This reality shapes a character that is adaptive, fast-paced, and highly visual, yet at the same time vulnerable to distraction, fragmented attention, and dependence on digital validation. Amid these advances, a spiritual crisis has emerged, marked by relativism of truth, subjectivity in understanding faith, and a tendency toward shallow and individualistic spirituality. Faith is often influenced by digital trends and momentary emotional experiences rather than by a sustained process of character formation within the faith community. This study aims to analyze the impact of digital disruption on the spirituality of Generation Z and to examine the challenges faced by Christian Religious Education in responding to this phenomenon. Using a descriptive qualitative method through a literature study approach, the research explores theological works, Christian education studies, and social studies on digital culture. The findings indicate that Christian Religious Education must transform from a cognitive approach into reflective, contextual, and transformative faith formation by integrating digital literacy with theological depth. In doing so, Generation Z can build an identity rooted in Christ and live out their faith authentically amid the dynamics of the digital world. Keywords: Digital Disruption, Generation Z, Spiritual Crisis, Christian Religious Education, Faith Formation
Pengaruh Gaya Kepemimpinan Terhadap Motivasi Belajar Mahasiswa (Studi Kasus Mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Sosiologi FIPK IAKN Ambon)
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of lecturers’ leadership style on students’ learning motivation in the Sociology Education Study Program. The background of this research is based on the low participation and learning motivation of students, which is suspected to be influenced by lecturers’ leadership styles that tend to be monotonous and less interactive. The research method employed is a quantitative approach with a simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using validity tests, reliability tests, and simple linear regression with SPSS version 20. The results show that all instruments are valid and reliable. The simple linear regression analysis indicates that leadership style has a positive and significant effect on students’ learning motivation, amounting to 14.8%. This means that leadership style plays a role in influencing students’ learning motivation, but it is not the main factor in determining it. The implications of this study highlight the need to develop more effective, communicative, and participatory leadership styles, while also considering other factors such as interest and talent, facilities, and social support to enhance students’ learning motivation in the learning process. Keywords: Leadership Style, Learning Motivation, Students

Most respondents reported applying Christian ethical values, such as honesty, responsibility, love, and discipline, in their digital activities. Furthermore, more than 90% of respondents agreed that Christian ethics plays a significant role in shaping students’ character in the digital era. Therefore, Christian ethics is proven to be relevant and contributes positively to the development of students’ character in responding wisely and responsibly to the challenges of digital life. Keywords: Christian ethics, student character, digital era
Misi Dan Penginjilan Di Gereja Protestan Indonesia (GPI) Papua: Tantangan, Konteks, Dan Transformasi Pelayanan
Abstract : This study examines the dynamics of mission and evangelism within the Gereja Protestan Indonesia (GPI) Papua in the context of social change, religious plurality, and the transformation of church ministry in Papua. Mission and evangelism are understood not merely as efforts to expand church institutions, but as the proclamation of the Gospel centered on the salvific work of Jesus Christ while upholding human freedom and dignity. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive–interpretive method through a literature study of various theological, historical, and contextual sources related to church ministry in Papua. The findings reveal that the implementation of mission within GPI Papua has evolved from an institutional model of evangelism toward a more dialogical, contextual, and transformative approach. Within the multicultural and multireligious context of Papuan society, the church is challenged to develop a paradigm of peaceful mission that emphasizes social service, interreligious dialogue, education, healthcare, and community empowerment as integral dimensions of Christian witness. The study further identifies several major challenges faced by GPI Papua’s mission ministry, including social changes driven by modernization and digitalization, interreligious relations, limited ministerial resources, and the need for contextual theological formation. Therefore, the transformation of church mission should be directed toward strengthening the spirituality of ministry, increasing congregational participation, and developing mission approaches that are relevant to the social realities of Papuan society. In this sense, church mission is understood not only as verbal proclamation, but also as the praxis of ecclesial presence that embodies peace, justice, and social solidarity within society. Keywords: church mission, evangelism, GPI Papua, ministry transformation, interreligious dialogue, Papua
Mediasi Teknologi dalam Konstruktivisme Sosial terhadap Perkembangan Kognitif Mahasiswa di Era Digital: Sebuah Tinjauan Naratif
Abstract : Digital transformation has reshaped the landscape of education, where technology is no longer positioned merely as a supporting tool but has evolved into a cognitive bridge that fundamentally shapes how students think and interact. This article aims to critically explore how technological mediation reconstructs the principles of social constructivism and influences students’ cognitive competencies. Through a narrative review of key literature from 2014–2025, this study synthesizes Vygotsky’s classical theory with contemporary lenses such as Connectivism and Collaborative Cognitive Load Theory (CCLT). The research identifies three crucial points: first, the redefinition of Vygotsky’s concept of the Zone of Proximal Development, which now transcends physical boundaries and transforms into a global connective network; second, the implementation of the 5E Model within Technology-Enabled Active Learning (TE-ALE) environments has proven to yield significant net effects on sustaining cognitive abilities; and third, online collaborative learning environments (OCLE) function as a “collective working memory” capable of optimizing cognitive load for higher-order thinking activities. This article concludes that the effectiveness of digital learning depends not merely on the availability of devices, but on the design of ecosystems that balance cognitive efficiency and social presence. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of integrating metacognitive strategies into higher education curricula to address the complexity of future information landscapes. Keywords: Social Constructivism, Technological Mediation, Connectivism, Collaborative Cognitive Load Theory (CCLT), Cognitive Development
Rekonstruksi Teologi Relasional Injil Yohanes Sebagai Model Pembinaan Iman Dalam Konteks Pluralisme Indonesia
Abstract : This study addresses a critical gap in Johannine scholarship, which has long been dominated by Western theological approaches that tend to emphasize metaphysical christological and symbolic dimensions, while providing limited exploration of relational aspects within pluralistic societies. The purpose of this research is to reconstruct the relational theology of the Gospel of John as an applicable model for faith formation in the context of Indonesian pluralism. Employing an integrative qualitative theological approach—combining biblical exegesis, narrative criticism, and contextual hermeneutics on John 1:1–18, John 6, and John 15—this study identifies relational ontology as the core of Johannine theology. The findings reveal that faith, from John’s perspective, is not merely cognitive-doctrinal acceptance, but rather an existential participation (menō) in divine relationship that manifests love as a dialogical bridge across differences. The novelty of this research lies in its systematic synthesis between biblical analysis and contextual praxis, resulting in the paradigm of “Johannine Relational Theology.” This model contributes theoretically to mitigating religious polarization and offers a new direction for dialogical faith formation in pluralistic societies. Keywords: Gospel of John, Relational Theology, Faith Formation, Pluralism, Indonesia
Profil Pelajar Pancasila Ditinjau Dari Kemandirian Siswa Di SMA Negeri 1 Seram Bagian Barat
Abstract : This study aims to describe the Profile of Pancasila Students with a specific focus on the dimension of independence among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Seram Bagian Barat. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing with source triangulation. The findings reveal that students’ independence is at a developing stage but has not yet reached an optimal level. A small number of students demonstrated good self-regulation, such as managing time effectively, seeking solutions independently, and showing initiative in learning. However, most students remain dependent on teachers’ instructions, often delay assignments, and are easily distracted by gadgets and peer influence. The implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) has contributed positively to fostering independence, yet its execution remains inconsistent and is hindered by low motivation and weak self-control. Overall, the independence dimension shows positive progress but requires reinforcement from teachers, schools, and the learning environment to evolve into stable and sustainable independent behavior. Keywords: Pancasila Student Profile; Student Independence; Character Education; Self-Regulated Learning; Qualitative Study
Peran Guru Dalam Mengoptimalkan Kecerdasan Kinestetik Melalui Senam Aku Cinta Indonesia Di TK Dharma Wanita Desa Lilibooi
Abstract: This study aims to analyze and describe the role of teachers in optimizing children's kinesthetic intelligence through the Aku Cinta Indonesia (ACI) gymnastics activity at TK Dharma Wanita Lilibooi Village. Kinesthetic intelligence refers to an individual's ability to use the body effectively to express ideas, emotions, and motor skills through coordination, balance, agility, and movement control. In early childhood education, the development of this intelligence is very important because it is closely related to children's physical, cognitive, and social development. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a field study method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving teachers, the school principal, and children’s activities during the gymnastics sessions. The findings indicate that teachers play a significant role as facilitators, motivators, role models, and evaluators in the implementation of ACI gymnastics. Teachers design simple movements, demonstrate them directly, use engaging music, and provide motivation and guidance to encourage children to move actively and confidently. Support from the school principal through the provision of facilities, training, and supervision also strengthens the success of the activity. Supporting factors include children’s enthusiasm, teacher creativity, and adequate school facilities, while inhibiting factors include differences in children’s motor abilities, shyness, and physical conditions. Therefore, the Aku Cinta Indonesia gymnastics activity is proven to be effective in stimulating the development of children’s kinesthetic intelligence in a fun and gradual manner. Keywords: The Role of Teachers, Kinesthetic Intelligence; Aku Cinta Indonesia Gymnastics
Peran Self-Efficacy dalam Efektivitas Pembelajaran Berbasis Teknologi: Sebuah Tinjauan Literatur Sistematis (SLR)
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the role of self-efficacy in the effectiveness of technology-based learning through a systematic literature review designed to identify patterns, contributing factors, and pedagogical implications across studies. The research method involved selecting articles through a rigorous screening procedure using PRISMA standards, resulting in a set of relevant studies that were then thematically analyzed. The findings indicate that self-efficacy functions as a key psychological factor mediating the relationship between technology use and learning outcomes, particularly by enhancing motivation, engagement, persistence, and self-regulation. The development of self-efficacy is supported by the quality of digital learning design, structured success experiences, social support in the learning process, and learners’ technopedagogical competence. The study concludes that the effectiveness of technology-based learning does not depend on the platform used, but rather on learning experiences designed to foster learners’ confidence. It recommends strengthening instructional design, improving learner competence, and expanding research across different educational levels to deepen understanding of the role of self-efficacy in digital learning contexts. Keywords: Self-Efficacy, Technology-Based Learning, Instructional Design, Learning Effectiveness, Educational Technology
Pemanfaatan TikTok sebagai Media Microlearning untuk Mengelola Cognitive Load dalam Pembelajaran Daring
Abstract: Online learning in higher education often faces the problem of increasing students’ cognitive load due to poorly structured and excessive material presentation. One potential strategy to address this issue is microlearning. This study aims to analyze the use of TikTok as a microlearning medium in managing students’ cognitive load in online learning. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach conducted in the Design and Innovation of Learning course within the Mathematics Education Study Program at Universitas Insan Budi Utomo during the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year, involving 41 students. Learning was carried out over six sessions using TikTok-based microlearning curated through Padlet. Data were collected using a cognitive load questionnaire covering intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive load, and then analyzed descriptively. The results show that intrinsic cognitive load was at a moderate level, extraneous cognitive load was at a low level, and germane cognitive load was at a high level. These findings indicate that TikTok-based microlearning can reduce irrelevant cognitive load while simultaneously fostering students’ understanding processes in online learning. Keywords: Microlearning; TikTok; Cognitive Load; Online Learning; Educational Psychology
Model Pendidikan Moral Digital Berbasis Pemikiran Hamka: Integrasi Metode Diskusi Dan Akhlak Untuk Penguatan Etika Digital Peserta Didik
Abstract : This study analyzes the application of Hamka’s educational method particularly the use of dialogue-based discussion and moral cultivation (akhlak) as a foundation for developing students’ digital ethics and moral literacy in the contemporary technological era. This research employs a qualitative library-research approach using thematic analysis of Hamka’s major works and relevant scholarly articles. The findings indicate that Hamka’s concept of discussion, which emphasizes open dialogue, rational inquiry, and deep understanding, is highly relevant for digital-age education in fostering critical thinking, ethical awareness, and the ability to evaluate the moral implications of online behavior. Meanwhile, Hamka’s emphasis on akhlak including honesty, etiquette, responsibility, and self-restraint functions as a value-based framework to guide digital ethical conduct in addressing misinformation, hate speech, and moral degradation in online environments. This study concludes that integrating discussion-based learning with moral cultivation offers a contextual and comprehensive model for digital moral education suited to the needs of 21st-century learners. It contributes to Islamic education theory in the digital era and provides an implementable model for teachers to nurture civilized, ethical digital behavior among students. Keywords: Hamka, educational method, discussion, akhlak, digital ethics, moral literacy
Kredensial Mikro dalam Spektrum Teknologi Pendidikan: Implementasi dan Keselarasan dengan Definisi AECT
Abstract: Changes in the evolving demands of the global workforce have prompted the higher education sector to respond through micro-credential programs, which aim to bridge the gap between formal education and industry. This study seeks to analyze the alignment between the implementation of micro-credentials in Indonesia and the latest definition of educational technology approved by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) in 2023. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review, the study examines policy documents, reports from international organizations, and scientific articles published within the last five years. The findings reveal that micro-credentials in Indonesia demonstrate strong alignment in the dimensions of performance improvement and strategic design, partial alignment in learner empowerment, and significant gaps in the ethical dimension, particularly concerning data privacy and equity of access. The study concludes that micro-credentials in Indonesia are on the right track, but greater emphasis is needed on data governance, quality assurance, and curriculum integration to achieve full alignment with the AECT 2023 paradigm. Keywords: Micro-Credentials, Educational Technology, Learner Empowerment, Strategic Design, Ethics

Membangun Kohesi Sosial Melalui Unplugged Pedagogy: Sebuah Ulasan Perspektif Mengenai Pendekatan Psikologi Sosial Dalam Kelas Inklusi
Abstract: Social cohesion is a critical foundation for the realization of meaningful inclusive education; however, challenges such as prejudice, isolation, and unequal group dynamics often hinder its development in the classroom. This conceptual article argues that unplugged pedagogy can serve as an effective and contextual medium to operationalize the core principles of social psychology in building social cohesion. By synthesizing key theories such as the Contact Hypothesis, Social Interdependence Theory, and Social Identity Theory, the article outlines three integration mechanisms: (1) facilitating positive and equal intergroup contact through structured simulations and role-playing; (2) fostering a common ingroup identity through collaborative projects and cooperative problem-solving; and (3) reducing stereotype threat through reflective dialogue and the creation of inclusive classroom norms. A conceptual framework is proposed to map the systematic relationship between psychosocial principles, unplugged activity design, and expected outcomes in classroom climate. This framework serves as a hypothesis that requires further empirical testing. As an integration, the conceptual framework offers a theoretically grounded, practical, and sustainable approach to transforming social dynamics in inclusive classrooms. Its practical implications are directed toward educators in designing learning activities, as well as policymakers and curriculum developers in advancing inclusive education that is not only adaptive but also socially transformative. Keywords: social cohesion, unplugged pedagogy, social psychology, inclusive education, experiential learning

The findings indicate that Christian Religious Education can serve as an effective medium for fostering soft skills in Generation Alpha. Values such as love, forgiveness, respect, character education, and social practice taught in Christian Religious Education have a positive impact on the interpersonal abilities of Generation Alpha children. In conclusion, Christian Religious Education plays a significant role in shaping character and soft skills in Generation Alpha. Therefore, Christian schools and other educational institutions can utilize the Christian Religious Education curriculum to cultivate soft skills that are beneficial for the social and professional lives of Generation Alpha. Keywords: Development; Soft skills; Generation Alpha; Christian Religious Education

Keywords: Role Of Study Program Head, MBKM Curriculum, Fine Arts Education
Strategi Pembelajaran Berbasis Psikologi Humanistik Untuk Meningkatkan Keterlibatan Siswa
Abstract: Student engagement is an important indicator of learning effectiveness; however, various reports show that active student participation in Indonesia remains low. This literature review analyzes the role of humanistic psychology based learning strategies in enhancing student engagement across cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions. Humanistic psychology, rooted in the ideas of Maslow and Rogers, emphasizes the fulfillment of basic needs, authentic interpersonal relationships, and emotionally safe learning environments as the foundation of meaningful learning. The findings of the literature review indicate that strategies providing autonomy, empathetic communication, reflective learning, and contextual learning experiences can enhance intrinsic motivation, learning interest, and students’ active participation. Several studies also highlight that the quality of teacher student relationships is a decisive factor in engagement, particularly through emotional support, constructive feedback, and a positive classroom climate. In the digital era, the integration of technology that preserves humanistic values has also been shown to strengthen student engagement. Overall, these findings suggest that the humanistic approach makes a significant contribution to improving student engagement and is relevant for application in modern education. This research provides a theoretical and empirical foundation for developing learning practices that are more humanistic, empowering, and oriented toward learners’ needs. Keywords: humanistic psychology, learning strategies, student engagement, intrinsic motivation
Strategi Memperkuat Persekutuan Dalam Pembinaan Iman Lansia
In Indonesia, the number of elderly people continues to increase. In facing old age, many elderly people face physical, psychological and spiritual challenges. The church has an important role in fostering faith and providing spiritual support for the elderly. There are special needs of the elderly both physically, psychologically, socially and especially spiritually that need attention. Often these needs have not been met optimally in many places. The existing fellowship for the elderly is still not strong enough and effective in accompanying the elderly and fostering their faith at the end of life. Many elderly whose faith falters, despair or tend to withdraw from church life when facing physical and mental problems in old age. Strategic efforts from the church are needed to strengthen the existing fellowship for the realization of effective faith formation of the elderly. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide input and contributions for churches and elderly fellowship leaders on how to design and implement appropriate strategies in strengthening fellowship for the formation of Christian elderly who remain firm in faith. This research uses qualitative methods with in-depth interview techniques to the elderly of GPIN Bukit Asam Tanjung Enim. The results showed that effective strategies include: Training elderly fellowship leaders, Conducting Bible studies, Conducting home visits to the elderly, Organizing field worship, and Using digital media to share God's word. By implementing the right strategies, the church can strengthen the elderly fellowship to foster the faith of the elderly.
Hubungan Dukungan Sosial Orang Tua Terhadap Perkembangan Motorik Kasar Anak Usia Dini Di PAUD Gideon Wayari
This study aims to examine the relationship between parental social support and the gross motor development of early childhood at PAUD Gideon Wayari. Early childhood is a crucial developmental period often referred to as the "golden age," where optimal stimulation, particularly from the family environment, plays a vital role. Using a quantitative approach, this research involved 15 early childhood participants and applied a questionnaire to assess both parental social support and children’s gross motor skills. Data were analyzed using correlation analysis, revealing a moderate and statistically significant relationship (r = 0.540, p = 0.036) between the two variables. The findings indicate that 29.1% of the variation in children's gross motor skills is explained by the level of social support provided by their parents. This support includes emotional encouragement, physical engagement, and the provision of an enabling environment for active play. The study supports the theoretical framework of Hurlock and Bronfenbrenner, emphasizing the essential role of family in the physical and psychological development of children. Therefore, the active involvement of parents and teachers in creating safe, supportive, and stimulating environments is crucial for optimizing gross motor development in early childhood.

Membaca Ulang Status Paulus Dalam 1 Korintus 7:7-9: Perspektif Biblika Terhadap Pria Lajang Dalam Masyarakat Batak Toba
This article originates from the social and cultural challenges faced by single men in Batak Toba society, where marriage is considered an essential part of the Dalihan Na Tolu social structure. A man's failure to marry is often perceived as a life failure and a hindrance to his role in traditional customs. The research problem addressed in this study is how Paul's status as a single man in 1 Corinthians 7:7-9 can provide new meaning for single Batak men in dealing with social and cultural pressures. This study employs a qualitative method with a hermeneutic approach to analyze the biblical text and its interaction with Batak cultural realities. The findings reveal that Paul's status as a single man is not a form of failure but rather a special calling with significant theological and practical value. Therefore, the understanding of single men's status in the Batak context can be reconstructed through a broader theological perspective and a more open dialogue between culture and Christianity

Eksplorasi Perilaku Pencarian Informasi Mahasiswa dalam Memperluas Pengetahuan dan Pemahaman Evaluasi Pendidikan Agama Kristen
This study aims to analyze the information-seeking behavior of students in the Christian Religious Education Evaluation course and to explore students’ information seeking behavior to broaden and deepen their understanding of Christian Religious Education Evaluation. This study employs a qualitative method. Data was collected from sixth-semester students enrolled in the Christian Religious Education Evaluation course at the State Christian Institute of Palangka Raya. The research findings reveal that the implementation of Ellis’s theory of information-seeking behavior has not been fully realized. Students still lack the ability to distinguish between quality references by relying solely on the internet. This study expects students to be able to recognize and improve their information-seeking strategies. By understanding stages such as starting, chaining, browsing, differentiating, and extracting, students can optimize the information-seeking process, thus saving time and resources.
