Tradisi Celeng Behel di Desa Soropadan, Kecamatan Pringsurat, Kabupaten Temanggung
The Celeng Behel tradition is a form of local wisdom practiced by the people of Soropadan Village, Pringsurat District, Temanggung Regency, and is carried out through the Sadranan Kali ritual. This study aims to explain the form and function of the Celeng Behel tradition in the community’s daily life. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method with folklore and semiotic approaches. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed to understand the cultural meanings behind the tradition. The results show that the Celeng Behel tradition has two main forms. First, it exists as oral folklore in the form of stories passed down from generation to generation. Second, it appears as a ritual practice, namely Sadranan Kali, which is held every year on the 10th of Sapar at Bendung Pondoh. The ritual includes communal prayers, the preparation of offerings, and the release of ducks into the river. These activities symbolize the community’s gratitude for the water that supports their farming and daily needs. The tradition also has important functions. It serves as a way for the community to express their hopes and concerns about nature, especially related to water and agriculture. It also strengthens social rules and cultural values that have been passed down over time. From a semiotic point of view, the symbols used in the ritual have both direct meanings and deeper cultural meanings that form shared beliefs in the community. In conclusion, the Celeng Behel tradition is not only a cultural activity, but also an important way to maintain harmony between humans, nature, and spiritual values in the life of the Soropadan community.

Peran Orang Tua dalam Pembinaan Moral Remaja di Desa Karya Jaya Kabupaten Buton
This study aims to analyze the role of parents in fostering adolescents' moral development and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in this process in Karya Jaya Village, Buton Regency. This research is motivated by the importance of adolescence as a critical developmental stage that is highly vulnerable to environmental influences, thus requiring optimal moral guidance, especially from the family as the first and primary educational institution. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach. The research subjects consist of 30 parents and adolescents selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation to obtain in-depth and comprehensive data. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that parents play a significant role in moral development through role modeling, habituation of moral and religious values, effective communication, and supervision of adolescents' behavior in daily life. Parental role modeling is a key factor in shaping adolescents’ moral behavior, as adolescents tend to imitate what they observe within the family environment. Supporting factors include harmonious family conditions, active parental involvement, and a positive social environment. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include parents' busyness, lack of supervision, and the influence of technology and peer environment. Therefore, the role of parents is crucial in shaping positive moral behavior among adolescents.

Hubungan antara Iman Katolik dengan Kepercayaan Orang Manggarai dalam Terang Konstitusi Dogmatis Nostra Aetate
A crucial issue currently facing the Church is its stance on building good and harmonious relationships with all other belief systems within its own community. Although dogmatically the Church explicitly expresses its openness to all religious practices and piety lived out by the faithful according to their traditional beliefs, the Church remains cautious so that in building relationships through dialogue, the traditions of the Church are not lost. This paper aims to highlight the relationship between the Catholic faith and the traditional belief system of the Manggarai people in light of the dogmatic constitution Nostra Aetate. Nostra Aetate is one of the key documents resulting from the Second Vatican Council that addresses the current reality of religious diversity. Through this document, the Church seeks to declare its commitment to reflecting on the fact that all humanity shares a single origin and a single ultimate goal: God Himself. The beliefs or religious system of the Manggarai people is implicitly monotheistic, namely Mori Jari dedek Ema pu’un kuasa. On this basis, the Church sees that the same concept exists in Catholic doctrine. In this study, the author uses qualitative research with a text analysis approach. Text analysis is a methodology in qualitative research that aims to interpret and analyze texts based on their context.
Strategi Hafalan Juz ‘Amma Santri Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Baitul Azhar di Sumber Pakem
This study aims to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the Juz ‘Amma memorization strategy implemented at Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Baitul Azhar, evaluate its effectiveness, and examine the assessment mechanisms applied in Qur’anic learning. The research employed a qualitative field-study approach, focusing on learning activities as the primary object of investigation. Data were collected through direct observation of the learning process, in-depth interviews with the madrasah principal and teachers (ustadz/ustadzah), and documentation analysis related to the memorization program. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing to generate accurate and in-depth findings. The results indicate that the memorization program utilizes a combination of talaqqi, takrir (repetition), sima’i, and small halaqah methods. These strategies have proven effective in improving students’ memorization abilities, as reflected in increased reading fluency, better tajwid accuracy, and the achievement of memorization targets. In addition, the madrasah implements a structured and continuous evaluation system consisting of daily assessments, weekly reviews, and final examinations for each juz. The evaluation focuses on memorization fluency, recitation accuracy, and overall memorization quality. The study concludes that integrating diverse memorization methods with systematic evaluation significantly enhances the effectiveness of Qur’an memorization learning in Islamic educational institutions.
Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka Belajar untuk Meningkatkan Mutu Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Katolik di SMK Negeri 1 Talibura
The quality of Catholic Religious Education learning is an important aspect in shaping students’ faith, character, knowledge, and religious life skills. However, the learning process at SMK Negeri 1 Talibura still faces various challenges, particularly in the areas of spiritual attitudes, social attitudes, Catholic religious knowledge, and religious life skills.

The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, Catholic Religious Education teachers, students, and parents. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the implementation of the Independent Learning Curriculum has been carried out effectively through learning planning, learning implementation, learning assessment, and the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). This implementation has had a positive impact on the learning process, outputs, and outcomes. Students demonstrated improvements in spiritual attitudes, social attitudes, Catholic religious knowledge, and religious life skills, as well as positive behavioral changes in their daily lives. The findings imply that the Independent Learning Curriculum can serve as an effective strategy for improving the quality of Catholic Religious Education learning in a holistic manner.
Inkar al-Sunnah di Era Digital: Tantangan dan Strategi Multidimensional Pendidikan Islam
The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the dissemination and consumption of religious information among Muslim communities. Alongside these advancements, the spread of Inkār al-Sunnah ideology through digital platforms has become a significant challenge to the integrity of Islamic religious understanding, particularly among younger generations who are frequently exposed to unverified religious content. This phenomenon has the potential to weaken the authority of the Sunnah as a primary source of Islamic teachings alongside the Qur'an. This study aims to examine Islamic education strategies in countering the spread of Inkār al-Sunnah in the digital era, focusing on strengthening hadith literacy, enhancing the role of Islamic Education teachers, utilizing digital media, and developing religious moderation education. The research employs a qualitative approach through library research and content analysis of relevant academic literature. The findings indicate that the challenge of Inkār al-Sunnah affects three dimensions of Islamic education: curricular, pedagogical, and socio-digital. In response, a multidimensional strategy is required, including strengthening Islamic epistemology, improving hadith literacy, contextualising learning through the living hadith approach, reformulating hadith curricula, optimizing educational digital media, enhancing teacher competencies, strengthening Islamic educational institutions, fostering family-school collaboration, and promoting religious moderation education. The study concludes that adaptive and integrative Islamic education, grounded in the Qur'an and Sunnah, plays a crucial role in developing a generation of Muslims who are critical, knowledgeable, digitally literate, and moderate in responding to contemporary religious challenges in the digital age.
Pengaruh Beban Tugas Rumah dan Jam Belajar Panjang terhadap Stres Belajar
This study aims to analyze the effect of homework load and extended study hours on students’ learning stress levels. The background of this research is based on increasing academic demands that may affect students’ psychological conditions. This study employs a qualitative approach with data collected through observation and interviews. The results indicate that excessive homework load and prolonged study duration significantly contribute to higher levels of learning stress. Students tend to experience physical and mental fatigue, decreased motivation, and difficulty managing time between study and rest. In addition, pressure to achieve high academic performance further exacerbates stress levels. Other factors such as lack of environmental support and less varied teaching methods also influence students’ stress. Furthermore, students often report feelings of anxiety and emotional exhaustion when academic tasks accumulate without adequate rest periods. This condition not only affects their psychological well-being but also reduces concentration and learning effectiveness in the classroom. Therefore, balanced learning load management, appropriate task distribution, and more effective and humanistic teaching strategies are needed to reduce learning stress and improve the quality of education. Schools and educators are encouraged to consider students’ cognitive capacity and mental health in designing assignments and study schedules to create a more supportive learning environment.
Analisis Komparatif Konsep Mahar menurut Mazhab Imam Syafi’i dengan Praktik Sosial Budaya di Desa Taduasa Kabupaten Buton Selatan
D Dowry (mahar) is an obligation of a groom to his bride in Islamic marriage, symbolizing respect and responsibility. In the Buton community, mahar also develops as a customary tradition known as boka, which carries both symbolic and socio-cultural meanings. This study aims to analyze the concept of mahar according to the Shafi’i school of law and its implementation in Taduasa Village, South Buton Regency. This research uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques including interviews, documentation, and literature review. The findings show that mahar is viewed as a symbol of respect for women and is determined based on lineage and social status. According to the Shafi’i school, such practices are permissible as long as they are based on mutual agreement and do not burden the groom. However, excessively high dowry amounts in some cases may hinder marriage. This study concludes that the mahar tradition in Taduasa Village remains consistent with Shafi’i principles but should be adjusted to the Islamic values of ease and public welfare.
Akulah Pokok Anggur: Eksegesis, Teologi, dan Implikasi Pastoral Perikop Yohanes 15:1–8 dalam Konteks Spiritualitas Umat di Kalimantan Barat
The study examines John 15:1–8, highlighting its Christological, ecclesiological dimensions, and pastoral implications in a contemporary context, particularly in West Kalimantan. Employing an exegetical approach integrated with theological reflection, the metaphor of the “true vine” is understood as a declaration of Jesus’ identity as the source of authentic life and the relational foundation of the community of disciples. The concept of “abiding” is interpreted as an ongoing existential connectedness with Christ, expressed through practices of faith such as engagement with the Word, prayer, and love. Meanwhile, “bearing fruit” is not merely ethical output but an authentic manifestation of life grounded in this relational union. Furthermore, the study argues that Johannine ecclesiology is organic in nature, portraying the church as a living community deriving its existence from and in Christ, rather than a purely institutional structure. The pastoral implications of this metaphor are significant in addressing local challenges such as individualism, ecological crisis, religious plurality, and the spiritual formation of youth. Using a praxis–reflection–praxis framework, the text is integrated into theological education as a model linking faith reflection with concrete action. The findings affirm that Christ-centered spirituality fosters personal and communal transformation relevant to the contemporary church.
Dampak Aktivitas Pertambangan Nikel terhadap Kehidupan Keagamaan Masyarakat Kabaena Barat Kabupaten Bombana
This study aims to analyze the impact of nickel mining activities on the religious life of the community in West Kabaena District, Bombana Regency. The research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to obtain an in-depth understanding of the social and religious changes occurring within the community. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving religious leaders, community leaders, youth representatives, and mining workers. The collected data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that nickel mining activities have not diminished the community’s understanding of environmental stewardship as a religious responsibility. However, increasing economic dependence on the mining sector has gradually reduced public concern for environmental preservation. In the religious sphere, mining activities have contributed positively by supporting the construction and improvement of worship facilities and religious programs. Nevertheless, work-related demands have reduced the participation of some community members in religious activities. Furthermore, mining activities have affected social solidarity within the community. Values such as brotherhood, mutual cooperation, and social care remain preserved, although changes in social interaction patterns and widening economic disparities have become increasingly apparent. The study concludes that nickel mining activities generate both positive and negative impacts on the religious life of the West Kabaena community. Therefore, balanced policies integrating economic development, environmental sustainability, and religious values are essential to promote sustainable community welfare and strengthen social harmony.
Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Kolaborasi dan Hasil Belajar Siswa pada Pembelajaran Agama Katolik
This study aims to implement the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) learning model to improve collaboration skills and learning outcomes among phase E students in class X-3 at SMA Katolik 2 Kabanjahe in Catholic Religious Education. This research employed Classroom Action Research conducted in two cycles, consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observation sheets, learning outcome tests, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis supported by process and learning achievement indicators. The findings showed that the implementation of the CIRC learning model improved across learning stages, including orientation from 87% to 95%, organization from 90% to 97%, concept introduction from 87% to 92%, publication from 93% to 98%, and reflection and reinforcement from 87% to 98%. Students’ collaboration skills also increased in each indicator, namely working productively from 75% to 88%, actively participating in problem solving from 82% to 88%, maintaining a balance between listening and speaking from 76% to 86%, appreciating group members’ contributions from 73% to 87%, and demonstrating responsibility as group members from 77% to 93%. Learning outcomes also improved, as shown by the increase in the proficient category from 27% to 77%, while the basic and developing categories decreased to 0% in cycle II. These results indicate that CIRC effectively enhances students’ active participation, collaboration, responsibility, and learning achievement. Therefore, CIRC is recommended as an alternative collaborative learning model for Catholic Religious Education, particularly in strengthening cooperative interaction and meaningful understanding of religious learning materials in classroom practice.
Roti Hidup dalam Injil Yohanes: Simbolik-Sakramental tentang Pewahyuan Kristus dan Ekaristi
The study examines the symbolic meaning of the “Bread of Life” in John 6 through an exegetical-theological approach, using intertextual and narrative-semiotic perspectives. It uncovers the dynamics of Johannine Christological revelation, which moves from miracle as sign, through theological discourse, and culminates in the sacramental understanding of the Eucharist. The Gospel of John is read as a text that employs symbolism and patterns of misunderstanding to lead readers from a literal reading toward deeper faith in Jesus as the source of true life. In this framework, the “Bread of Life” functions not merely as metaphor but as a revelatory symbol integrating Christological, soteriological, and ecclesiological dimensions. Findings show that this symbol is rooted in Old Testament motifs such as manna, Exodus, and wisdom, reinterpreted Christologically in Jesus. The feeding miracle points beyond physical sustenance to divine revelation, culminating in the statement “I am the Bread of Life.” John 6:51b–58 intensifies this sacramental meaning, forming the basis for Eucharistic theology, where participation in Christ’s body and blood signifies existential communion with God. The study concludes that John integrates Christology and sacramental theology, portraying faith as movement from sign to reality, recognition to participation, and revelation to communion with Christ.
Implementasi Nilai-Nilai Islam dalam Tradisi Poago di Desa Kapoa Barat Kabupaten Buton Selatan
This study aims to describe the implementation of the Poago tradition in Kapoa Barat Village, South Buton Regency, identify the Islamic values embedded within it, and explain its role as a form of local wisdom in the community. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving traditional leaders, religious leaders, village officials, tradition practitioners, and local community members. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion verification. The findings reveal that the Poago tradition continues to be preserved as an integral part of the community’s cultural life and serves as a medium for strengthening social relationships among residents. The tradition embodies various Islamic values, including gratitude, mutual assistance, deliberation, social bonding, togetherness, and social care. These values reflect the harmonious integration of Islamic teachings and local cultural traditions. In addition to functioning as a means of cultural preservation, the Poago tradition contributes to strengthening social solidarity and serves as a medium for transmitting religious and moral values to younger generations. Therefore, the Poago tradition can be regarded as a form of local wisdom that remains relevant in maintaining social harmony and religious life within the community.
Analisis Minat Siswa dan Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhinya dalam Mengikuti Program Asrama Tahfidz Al-Kautsar di Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Baubau
This study examines students’ interest in participating in the Al-Kautsar Tahfidz Dormitory Program at MAN 1 Baubau and identifies the factors influencing their participation. The study also seeks to provide a deeper understanding of how both internal and external conditions shape students’ willingness to engage in the program. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with dormitory supervisors, participating students, and non-participating students. Additional supporting information was also gathered through informal discussions and observation in the dormitory environment to strengthen the data validity. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing in an iterative process to ensure accurate interpretation. The findings indicate that students’ interest is shaped by internal factors, such as religious motivation, the desire to memorize the Qur’an, and self-improvement, as well as external factors, including parental support, peer influence, program socialization, and the religious dormitory environment. Conversely, low interest is associated with limited family support, low self-confidence in Qur’anic literacy, competing activities outside school, and perceptions of a demanding dormitory schedule. Overall, the program contributes positively to students’ religious character, discipline, and Qur’anic memorization skills, although variations in student interest remain evident depending on their personal and environmental conditions.
Simbolisme Roti dan Air dalam Terang Logos
The study critically examines the Gospel of John as a theological text integrating the incarnate Logos and sacramental symbolism. Using a qualitative, library-based approach with historical-critical and hermeneutical analysis, it shows that John’s Gospel not only narrates Jesus’ life but constructs a symbolic, existential, and transformative theological reflection. The Logos shifts from a metaphysical principle to a personal reality in history through the incarnation, enabling a concrete encounter between God and humanity. Within this framework, symbols such as water and bread function as media of revelation guiding individuals toward a living, relational faith experience. Furthermore, sacramental symbolism in the Gospel of John is ontologically grounded in the incarnation of the Logos. Faith is thus understood not merely as intellectual assent but as participation in divine life that transforms human existence. The integration of Christological and sacramental dimensions indicates that faith is holistic, encompassing spiritual, material, and relational aspects. Thus, the Gospel of John presents a theological vision of faith as a concrete and dynamic existential encounter, relevant for contemporary theological reflection.

Pemanfaatan Media Pembelajaran Berbasis Teknologi Digital dalam Pembelajaran PAK untuk Meningkatkan Prestasi Belajar Peserta Didik di SMPK Swadaya Tuakepa
This study was motivated by the importance of using digital technology-based learning media in Catholic Religious Education learning to improve students’ learning achievement. The development of digital technology requires teachers to use interesting and interactive learning media that are suitable for students’ needs. This study aimed to determine the use of digital technology-based learning media in Catholic religious education learning and its impact on students’ learning achievement at SMPK Swadaya Tuakepa.

Mencari Tuhan di Tengah Scroll tanpa Henti
The phenomenon of infinite scrolling in digital media reflects a fundamental shift in how modern individuals experience spirituality in the digital era. The continuous flow of information creates new spaces for the search for meaning, including the human relationship with the Divine, while simultaneously introducing challenges in the form of constant distraction that disrupts deep reflection. This study aims to analyze how infinite scrolling contributes to a crisis of spiritual awareness and how digital technology functions as an ambivalent space between distraction and reflection. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a library research approach, using relevant academic literature and religious documents. The findings indicate that intensive digital engagement reduces opportunities for contemplation, weakens reflective capacity, and produces shallow and fragmented spiritual experiences. However, digital technology also provides broad access to spiritual resources that can be used constructively. This study concludes that the crisis of spiritual awareness in the digital era is influenced not only by individual factors but also by technological structures shaping human attention. Therefore, digital literacy that includes ethical and spiritual dimensions is essential to ensure technology supports the search for meaning.

Elisabeth Homa” aims to describe the implementation of catechetical activities, examine the role of facilitators, and identify the impact of these activities on the faith development of the community. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design.

The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while source triangulation and member checking were applied to ensure data validity. The findings reveal that catechetical activities are conducted through communal prayer, Scripture reading, material presentation, dialogue, faith sharing, and reflection. Facilitators serve as educators, motivators, faith companions, and facilitators of participation and dialogue. Their contextual and participatory approach helps community members understand Church teachings and apply them in daily life. The activities contribute positively to the development of faith, spirituality, ecclesial involvement, and social awareness among the participants. Therefore, the role of facilitators is essential in supporting the effectiveness of catechesis and strengthening the faith of the people in KBG Sta. Elisabeth Homa.
Air, Anggur, dan Darah: Simbolisme Yohanes dan Relevansinya dalam Teologi Katolik
The study examines the theological meaning of the symbols of water, wine, and blood in the Gospel of John and their interrelation within the perspective of Catholic theology. Grounded in John’s distinctive use of symbolism as a medium of revelation, the study treats these three symbols not as isolated narrative elements but as an integrated theological sequence. The study employs a qualitative method, utilizing a literature-based approach and biblical-theological exegesis of key texts. The findings indicate that water signifies the renewal of life originating from divine grace and is closely associated with Baptism; wine expresses joy and abundance within the new covenant, finding its resonance in the Eucharist; while blood marks the culmination of divine love manifested in Christ’s redemptive sacrifice. Together, these symbols form a progressive dynamic of revelation: from renewal, to communion, and ultimately to redemption. In the light of sacramental theology, these symbols not only reveal the identity of Jesus as the incarnate Word but also mediate a concrete experience of faith within the life of the Church. Thus, the Gospel of John demonstrates that God’s salvific work unfolds in an integral and continuous manner, remaining relevant for the contemporary practice of Christian faith.

Meningkatkan Keterlibatan Orang Muda Katolik dalam Liturgia di Stasi Santo Petrus P. Nauli Selayang Paroki Maria Bunda Pertolongan Abadi Binjai
Catholic Youth (OMK) is an integral part of the Church that has a strategic role in supporting the sustainability of Church life and ministry. OMK involvement in the liturgy is one form of real participation in realizing the calling as members of the Church. However, based on the phenomenon found at the St. Petrus Pardomuan Nauli Selayang Station, Mary Mother of Eternal Help Parish, Binjai, OMK involvement in liturgical services is still relatively low. This study aims to describe the involvement of Catholic Youth in the liturgy and identify efforts that can be made to increase this involvement. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques involving OMK mentors, station administrators, and OMK members as research informants. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, while the validity of the data was tested using source triangulation and technical triangulation. The results of the study are expected to provide an overview of the forms of involvement of OMK in liturgical services as lectors, psalmists, and conductors, as well as reveal efforts to increase involvement through catechesis, strengthening friendships, faith accompaniment, and ongoing development.
Upaya Meningkatkan Partisipasi Orang Muda Katolik dalam Ibadat tanpa Imam Hari Minggu di Stasi St. Stefanus Kimakamak
The participation of Catholic Youth (OMK) in Church liturgy is essential for supporting the Church’s mission and strengthening the faith of the congregation. In stations where the Eucharist cannot be celebrated every Sunday due to a shortage of priests, the Priestless Service becomes an important form of worship while providing opportunities for lay people, including OMK, to take active roles. However, observations indicate that OMK participation in the Priestless Service at St. Stefanus Kimakamak Station, Sta. Maria Goreti Waiwadan Parish, remains limited. This study aims to describe OMK participation, identify factors influencing their involvement, and formulate strategies to enhance their participation. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. The participants consisted of ten informants, including four OMK members, the OMK Chairperson, the Station Chairperson, and four congregation members. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that OMK participate as worship leaders, lectors, psalmists, and prayer leaders, although these roles are still dominated by a limited number of active members. Internal factors affecting participation include self-confidence, motivation to serve, faith awareness, and responsibility, while external factors include limited liturgical guidance, digital media influence, and an unsupportive social environment. Participation can be strengthened through liturgical training, faith mentoring, recollections, public speaking training, equal service opportunities, and regular evaluations. Continuous guidance is essential to foster sustainable youth participation and support the regeneration of Church ministers at the station level.
Kesiapan Guru PAI dalam Evaluasi Pembelajaran Berbasis Cinta
This study describes the readiness of Islamic Education teachers to implement love-based assessment in madrasahs in East Java. The study used a descriptive quantitative survey involving 24 Islamic Education teachers from three madrasahs selected through purposive sampling based on level, location, and institutional status. Data were collected using a 40-item Likert questionnaire covering pedagogical assessment competence, conceptual understanding of love-based assessment, affective readiness, and assessment instrument availability. The instrument showed strong reliability with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.87, and the data were analyzed using percentages, means, and readiness categories. The findings show that teachers' overall readiness reached 68.7 percent, which falls into the moderately ready category. Urban public madrasahs obtained higher readiness scores than a rural private madrasah, while the availability of affective and spiritual assessment instruments became the weakest dimension. These results imply that love-based assessment in Islamic Education needs systematic professional development, contextual assessment instruments, and stronger institutional support so that cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual learning outcomes can be evaluated more humanely.

Partisipasi Keluarga Katolik melalui Kolekte sebagai Bentuk Kepedulian Sosial dalam Gereja Sinodal di Stasi St. Yohanes Pembaptis Wailolong
This study examines Catholic family participation through offertory collections as a form of social concern within the Synodal Church at St. John the Baptist Wailolong Outstation. The study was motivated by the need to understand how participation in offertory collections reflects the values of communion, participation, and mission in the life of the Church. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving the parish priest, the outstation council chairperson, the outstation treasurer, the Small Christian Community (KBG) leader, and Catholic parents as research participants. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation and analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that offertory collection is understood not only as a liturgical obligation but also as an expression of faith, gratitude, solidarity, and social responsibility. Family participation is demonstrated through active involvement in the Eucharistic celebration, voluntary contributions according to each family's capacity, and the early formation of children in the practice of giving. The study implies that transparent management of offertory collections strengthens trust, encourages active participation, reinforces solidarity, and promotes shared responsibility in building a Synodal Church.

Pengaruh Artificial Intelligence Berbasis Wordwall Dalam Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen Terhadap Keaktifan Belajar Siswa
This research is motivated by the low level of student learning engagement, which remains a challenge in education. In class, students often tend to be passive, reluctant to ask questions, and less involved in discussions, resulting in less interactive learning. This study aims to determine the effect of Wordwall-based AI on student learning engagement and to determine the extent of this influence. The method used was quantitative research with a correlational approach. Data were analyzed using the coefficient of determination test. The results showed an R-square value of 0.394, indicating that the use of Wordwall contributed 39.4% to student learning engagement. Meanwhile, 60.6% was influenced by factors outside the research variables. Therefore, the use of Wordwall-based AI can be an alternative learning medium to increase student learning engagement.

Gotong Royong Implementasi Ekonomi Berkelanjutan dan Bermoral
This article examines the concept of Gotong royong and its role as a foundation for a sustainable and ethical economy. The growing environmental challenges and the limitations of carbon-intensive economic systems highlight the need for a transition toward a green economy that balances economic development with social and environmental sustainability. This study employs the Systematic Review of the Literature (SRL) method by analyzing relevant academic publications on Gotong royong, local wisdom, and sustainable economic development. The findings reveal that Gotong royong represents an indigenous cultural value of Indonesia that reflects collective wisdom in managing economic resources through cooperation, mutual assistance, and shared responsibility. Beyond its economic function, Gotong royong contributes to character development by transforming negative traits such as selfishness, greed, envy, arrogance, and laziness into positive values including sincerity, patience, integrity, loyalty, responsibility, and willingness to sacrifice for the common good. The practice of Gotong royong also promotes harmonious relationships among humans, God, society, and nature, making it consistent with the principles of sustainable development and economic ethics. Therefore, Gotong royong can be regarded as an alternative paradigm for economic mechanisms that emphasize collaboration, moral responsibility, and environmental sustainability. This study contributes to the international discourse by demonstrating that Indonesia's local wisdom offers a relevant framework for developing a more sustainable, ethical, and inclusive economic system.
Internalisasi Semangat 2D2K Sekami dalam Membangun Karakter Misioner Anak di Stasi Hati Amat Kudus Tuhan Yesus Lewoloba
This study aims to analyze the internalization of the 2D2K spirit (Prayer, Charity, Sacrifice, and Witness) in fostering the missionary character of children at Stasi Hati Amat Kudus Tuhan Yesus Lewoloba. The study was motivated by the limited internalization of 2D2K values among Holy Childhood Association (SEKAMI) members despite their active participation in faith formation activities. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving SEKAMI facilitators, children, parents, and the Outstation Head as research participants. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation and analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that the internalization of the 2D2K spirit takes place through four interconnected processes: socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization. Prayer strengthens children’s relationship with God and nurtures their spiritual life, while charity and sacrifice develop social concern, solidarity, generosity, and a willingness to serve others. Witness encourages children to express and live out their faith in everyday life. These findings imply that the internalization of the 2D2K spirit plays a significant role in developing faithful, caring, responsible, and missionary-minded children who are prepared to witness to Christ in their families, schools, communities, and the Church.
