The school committee's role in developing educational units
This study examines the pivotal role of school committees in shaping educational development, focusing on SMP Negeri 6 Ambon as a case study. Employing a qualitative research approach, data collection methods such as interviews and observations were utilized. Data analysis adhered to Burhan Bungin's methodology, involving data collection, reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The research underscores the multifaceted functions of the school committee: (1) Advisory Support: The committee provides guidance throughout various planning and program development stages, including infrastructure maintenance, book procurement, and educational management considerations; (2) Support for Educational Quality: Financial, emotional, and moral backing from the committee contributes to the implementation and improvement of educational standards at SMP Negeri 6 Ambon; (3) Decision-making Control: The committee exercises authority over educational planning and decision-making processes, overseeing both the allocation of resources and the management of educational outcomes; (4) Mediation and Policy Communication: Acting as intermediaries between parental and community expectations and school policies, the committee ensures transparency and alignment of objectives. Research findings indicate that while the committee is perceived as a supplementary organizational entity, attendance discrepancies among administrators suggest a lack of awareness regarding their roles and responsibilities. Committee administrators are selected through consensus at school meetings, with recommendations provided by teachers at SMP Negeri 6 Ambon. This study contributes to understanding the intricate dynamics of school committee involvement in educational advancement.

The role of mentoring regular school teachers for students with down syndrome (autism) at Ama Ori/Passo public elementary school
Teachers play a pivotal role in shaping the fabric of society as both intellectuals and exemplars for their students. Within this role, they serve as guides for children with disabilities, including those with Down syndrome, who encounter various physical, intellectual, mental, and sensory challenges over time while navigating their environments. This study focuses on children aged 10-11 with special needs, particularly Down syndrome, receiving education in mainstream schools, a prevalent occurrence in Ambon, especially at Ama Ory/Passo public elementary school. Utilizing qualitative methodology, this research involved direct interviews with teachers and gathering relevant literature. The findings underscore the vital role of mentoring regular teachers in supporting children with Down syndrome. Accompanying and educating these students demands unique competencies from educators, distinguishing it from teaching students without special needs. Understanding the concept of special needs education (ABK) serves as the cornerstone for teachers in this role. This understanding, complemented by effective instructional strategies tailored to individual needs, fosters dynamic learning environments conducive to the growth of children with special needs. Educators derive immense satisfaction from witnessing their students achieve targeted learning outcomes. However, encountering student difficulties prompts reflection on teaching practices and necessitates adjustments to instructional approaches. By recognizing the distinct needs of students with Down syndrome and providing targeted support through mentorship, educators can facilitate meaningful educational experiences and foster inclusive learning environments within mainstream schools

Calling as a Caregiver in Gospel Preaching (SMTPI) at the GPM Ebenhaezer SKIP Congregation
Caregivers' roles within formal church education are pivotal for the spiritual and character development of Sunday school children, with parents and church members, particularly caregivers, holding significant influence in this process. The Sunday Morning Teaching Program Institute (SM-TPI) stands as a vital platform for continuing children's education within the GPM EBENHEZER Congregation. However, a notable lack of awareness among caregivers in Sector XIII has been observed, hindering their ability to fulfill their duties and responsibilities and subsequently resulting in adverse effects on Sunday school children. The primary issue identified lies in caregivers' busyness and lack of awareness, which leads to the neglect of their duties in Sunday school. Various factors such as health concerns, economic constraints, and educational limitations contribute to these challenges, thereby impacting the effectiveness of the education process within Sunday school settings. In response to these challenges, this study employs a qualitative approach to delve into the duties and responsibilities of caregivers as servants within the Sunday school context. Through the collection and analysis of data, this article aims to propose a Christian education response that addresses these challenges and offers insights into understanding the role of caregivers as servants within the church community. The findings of this research contribute to enhancing awareness among caregivers regarding their roles and responsibilities, thereby fostering a more conducive environment for the spiritual and character development of Sunday school children. Additionally, this study provides a valuable perspective on the calling of caregivers as servants within the church, thereby enriching discussions surrounding formal church education practices

Preventing sexual violence in the Fajar Harapan Congregation: the responsibility of parents in providing sex education for children aged 6-9
This study addresses the crucial role of families, particularly parents, in imparting sex education to children, emphasizing the significance of parents as the primary educational influencers. Focused on children aged 6-9 years, a critical developmental period often overlooked in sex education, the objective is to explore how Christian parents can integrate and deliver sex education aligned with Christian teachings (PAK) within the family context. The research is grounded in real-world concerns identified within the Fajar Pengharapan congregation, where a 6-year-old encountered sexual harassment due to parental negligence in sex education. Employing a qualitative research method, data were gathered through direct interviews with parents of 6-9-year-olds in the GPM Fajar Pengharapan Congregation, supplemented by relevant literature. Findings reveal parents' limited understanding of sex education, indicating suboptimal efforts in educating their children. Effective strategies for delivering sex education to children, especially within the 6-9 age range, remain unclear. Parents often perceive in-depth sex education at this age as inappropriate. Their efforts primarily encompass explaining basic anatomy, emphasizing protection against harassment, and instilling moral teachings related to gender equality, recognizing all individuals as God's creations. As part of a Christian family, it is imperative to acknowledge and educate children on sexual values, considering sex as a divine gift approached with care and timing. This research contributes insights into the challenges Christian parents face in delivering comprehensive sex education, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches and increased awareness within this community.

Kelahiran Yesus Kristus: komposisi musik berdasarkan Matius pasal 1 dan 2
Cerita tentang kelahiran Yesus Kristus pada dasarnya sudah tidak lasim lagi di telinga kaum Kristiani. Cerita tentang kelahiran Yesus Kristus ini menurut sumber Alkitabiah dibahas dalam dua kitab Injili, yaitu kitab Injil menurut Matius dan Lukas yang masing-masing mempunyai perbedaan terhadap penerapan cerita tersebut. Dalam kitab menurut Matius, cerita tentang kelahiran Yesus Kritus dimulai dari pertunangan antara Yusuf dan Maria sampai kepada Raja Herodes meninggal sesudah itu Yusuf dan Maria membawa Yesus kembali ke Yerusalem. Berdasarkan cerita tentang kelahiran Yesus Kristus menurut kitab Matius, maka cerita tersebut diserap menjadi sebuah konsep dan dikembangkan menjadi ide-ide non musikal kemudian dituangkan ke dalam musical dalam bentuk satu komposisi musik yang diberi judul Kelahiran Yesus Kristus (berdasarkan kitab Matius pasal 1, dan 2). Karya ini merupakan salah satu karya musik programa yang didalamnya termuat unsur ekstra musikal yang dituangkan ke dalam unsur musikal. Karya ini bertujuan untuk; (1) Menghasilkan karya musik programa yang diharapkan mampu menggambarkan suasana dalam cerita kelahiran Yesus Kristus Berdasarkan kitab Matius pasal satu dan dua; (2) Merajut ide ekstra musikal dituangkan ke dalam bahasa musikal sehingga menghasilkan suatu komposisi musik programa dalam satu orkestra.

Karya kelahiran Yesus Kristus ini menggunakan multy metric (4/4 dan 7/8), serta menggunakan tempo yang bervariasi yang diharapkan dapat menggambarkan suasana-suasana musikal yang dibutuhkan sesuai kisah Kelahiran Yesus Kristus.
Implikasi teori kognitivisme dalam pembelajaran pendidikan agama kristen
Teori belajar kognitivisme mulai berkembang pada abad terakhir sebagai protes terhadap teori sebelumnya. Teori ini memiliki perspektif bahwa para peserta didik memproses informasi dan pelajaran melalui upayanya mengorganiser, menyimpan dan kemudian menemukan hubungan antara pengetahuan yang baru dengan pengetahuan yang telah ada atau bagaimana informasi diproses. Teori ini lebih mementingkan proses belajar dari pada hasil belajar itu sendiri. Belajar menurut teori kognitif adalah: proses internal yang mencakup: ingatan, referensi, pengolahan informasi, emosi dan aspek-aspek kejiwaan lain. Belajar juga adalah Proses berpikir yang sangat kompleks. Teori belajar Kognitif memiliki beberapa karakteristik bertitik tolak dari teori belajar kognitif yang dikembangkan oleh J. Piaget, Ausubel, J Burner dan R Gagne. Para ahli tersebut telah memberikan banyak kontribusi bagi praktek pembelajaran di kelas baik formal, informal maupun non formal. Tulisan ini bertujuan memberikan gambaran tentang karakteristik teori kognitivisme dan Implikasinya terhadap praktek pembelajaran khususnya Pendidikan agama Kristen.

Pendidikan agama kristen sebagai agen pelaksana sekolah ramah anak
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan pendidikan agama krisen sebagai agen pelaksana sekolah ramah anak. Lingkungan sekolah harus mampu mendorong anak untuk ikut berpartisipasi dalam proses belajar. Rasa aman menjadi salah satu kebutuhan dasar yang harus dipenuhi sehingga anak tidak merasa gelisah dalam melaksanakan aktivitasnya, termasuk belajar di sekolah. Hak anak dalam aktivitasnya di sekolah perlu diperhatikan dengan sungguh tanpa kekerasan. Tugas ini tidak hanya penting untuk diperhatikan dalam mata pelajaran umum di Sekolah Dasar, namun juga oleh Pendidikan Agama Kristen. Pendidikan Agama Kristen sebagai sebuah mata pelajaran yang dilaksanakan di sekolah memiliki nilai istimewa sebab dalam Pendidikan Agama Kristen diajarkan tentang kasih dan bukan kekerasan. Dasar utama PAK ialah memperkenalkan kasih Kristus sehingga siswa mengalami dan mengenal Kristus. Perkenalan dan perjumpaan siswa dengan kasih Kristus tentu akan bermanfaat dalam memberi pemahaman kepada sisiwa bagaimana seharusnya hidup saling mengasihi, saling menghormati dan ramah seorang terhadap yang lain (tanpa kekerasan). Perlakukan yang ramah dan tanpa kekerasan di sekolah akan sangat berpengaruh bagi karakter siswa. Keistimewaan Pendidikan Agama Kristen dengan dasar kasih dapat digunakan sebagai agen pelaksana sekolah ramah anak.
Penggunaan metode bercerita dengan media gambar untuk meningkatkan kemampuan menyimak isi cerita anak sekolah minggu usia 6 tahun
Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh dua hal penting antara lain, pertama: anak terlihat pasif, kurang percaya diri, kurang memahami sehingga tidak berani menyampaikan pendapat dan idenya serta kurang menyimak isi materi yang disampaikan oleh pengasuh. Kemudian tidak ada media yang digunakan dalam proses belajar mengajar sehingga membuat anak merasa cepat bosan dan mengalihkan perhatian mereka pada jenjnag lain. Kedua: metode yang digunakan oleh pengasuh dalam bercerita cenderung menggunakan metode ceramah dan dalam menyampaikan materi terlihat bahwa pengasuh kurang menguasai isi cerita, kurang mengekspresikan karakter setiap tokoh yang diceritakan, dan tidak melakukan porses evaluasi seperti bertanya kembali seputar materi yang diajarkan kepada anak didik sehingga pengasuh tidak mengetahui apakah anak didik mengenti atau tidak. Kemampuan anak masih belum optimal seperti anak masih belum mampu menceritakan kembali cerita yang telah di dengar, menyebutkan objek-objek yang terdapat dalam cerita, menyebutkan tokoh-tokoh dalam cerita. Tujuan yang hendak dicapai dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui (1) perhatian anak dalam mendengar cerita yang disampaikan; (2) menjawab pertanyaan tentang isi cerita; (3) mengurutkan gambar sesuai isi cerita; (4) menceritakan kembali isi cerita berdasarkan urutan gambar.

Hakikat teologi penciptaan manusia dan implikasinya
Kajian tentang teologi penciptaan manusia sangat penting. Hal ini dilatar belakangi oleh banyaknya pandangan tentang penciptaan dan asal-usul tentang manusia. Sekarang ini masih banyak orang termasuk orang Kristen belum berpegang pada pandangan yang hakiki berdasarkan Firman Tuhan. Dalam dunia pendidikan, pengembangan sumber daya manusia, psikologi dan lain-lain, sasarannya adalah manusia. Berbagai kajian telah dilakukan dan formulasi yang ditawarkan, tetapi seringkali mengabaikan kebenaran hakiki yang bersumber dari Alkitab. Dari persoalan ini penulis ingin memberikan sumbangsih pemikiran tentang implikasi teologi penciptaan manusia yang bisa diterapkan dalam berbagai pelayanan praktis. Pertanyaan penelitian adalah bagaimana hakikat teologi penciptaan manusia dan bagaimana implikasi telogi penciptaan manusia. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan ini penulis menggunakan literatur. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah: Pertama, hakikat tentang penciptaan manusia ialah manusia serupa dan segambar dengan Allah. Manusia adalah ciptaan Allah yang mulia, terdiri tubuh, jiwa dan roh, diberikan kemampuan untuk menentukan pilihan secara bertanggungjawab. Kedua, implikasi teologi penciptaan manusia adalah manusia berpotensi mengembang spirutualitas, manusia memiliki harga diri yang tinggi, manusia berpotensi mengembangkan kepribadian dan manusia berpotensi menentukan pilihan.

INOVASI PEMBELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA KRISTEN
Christian religious education that is taught from elementary to university has not been able to become a moral fortress in schools in regulating the morals of students and teachers. Students often mention scolding, curse, often being a liar, cheating, adultery, even the teacher can also be said to be the same as the student. In fact, there is a new problem that students kill teachers or teachers kill students. Problems like this occur not only in the city of Ambon, but in most regions also experience such problems. At the national level, a curriculum has been designed that contains a variety of material content that can serve as guidelines for teachers and students so that good character, both social and spiritual knowledge, has a commitment as competencies that humans (students and teachers) must possess. This paper aims to study and analyze and try to offer various considerations as a breakthrough or as an innovation in PAK learning. Innovation is defined as renewal or change marked by new things.

KOMPETENSI PEDAGOGI GURU PAUD DALAM MENGELOLA PERKEMBANGAN PESERTA DIDIK
Abstract The reality is that many PAUD teachers who do not have the qualification of teacher education discipline are only armed with a high school diploma, and a background of SM / TPI caregivers. In fact, the requirements to become a teacher, must have a teacher professional education qualification set by the Education Office. PAUD teachers who do not have pedagogical competence in the end in the teaching process are often less creative in using learning media, have not mastered the curriculum well. This study uses literature research to see the pedagogical competence of PAUD teachers in managing the development of students. The motoric development and creativity of students have not been able to develop properly because of the learning patterns and styles of early childhood teachers who are often authoritarian and less friendly to children. PAUD teachers often use language that children do not understand. Conversely, in instilling non-academic abilities, teachers are less able to develop children's social psychological development. The development of social psychology of children with social intelligence is lacking in children. It can be seen from many children that they do not appear confident, are still gloomy and less cheerful with friends, social relations with friends are still lacking. It is hoped that PAUD teachers in the future must have a professional teacher education qualification so that they can manage education properly. Keywords: Developmental Pedagogy, Students

MIKHAL : PUTRI YANG DIABAIKAN 2 Samuel 3 – 6 PEREMPUAN DALAM PUSARAN BUDAYA, POLITIK, DAN KEKUASAAN
This paper wants to invite us back to the understanding that Michal in the Book of Samuel shows women whose existence is manipulated by culture, religion but also political interests for the sake of power. But was Michal the only victim of the political power game at that time? To arrive at an understanding of social criticism, we will first explain the historical setting of the early reign of Israel and the Book of Samuel. After hearing the feminist interpretation, another issue arises which is no less important, or even more important, namely social criticism that it is not only Michal who is the victim in this case but there are other people, namely his father as well as Ish-Bosheth. It turns out that being a descendant of the King is not an easy matter in the transfer of power, the unfair treatment shown in this book only emphasizes the King's obedience to God to determine his future government as an extension of God's power over the Israelites. The author of the book has a goal by carrying out patriarchal cultural values ??that are thick and full of elements of dominating power as an affirmation of God's power. However, the story of Michal Saul’s daughter through Feminist interpretation is able to show things that need to be criticized. Keywords: Culture, feminist interpretation, power, women ABSTRAK Tulisan ini ingin mengajak kita kembali pada pemahaman bahwa Mikhal dalam Kitab Samuel memperlihatkan perempuan yang keberadaannya dipermainkan oleh budaya, agama tetapi juga kepentingan politik demi kekuasaan. Tetapi apakah hanya mikhal saja menjadi korban atas permainan politik kekuasaan pada masa itu. Untuk tiba pada pemahaman mengenai kritik sosial tersebut, terlebih dahulu akan dijelaskan latar sejarah dari awal pemerintahan Israel dan Kitab Samuel. Setelah mendengar penafsiran feminis, persoalan lainnya muncul yang tidak kalah pentingnya, atau malah lebih penting lagi, yaitu kritik sosial bawa bukan hanya Mikhal yang menjadi korban dalam hal ini tetapi ada orang lain yaitu Ayahnya juga Isyboset. Ternyata menjadi keturunan Raja bukan perkara yang mudah dalam peralihan kekuasaan, perlakuan ketidakadilan yang ditampilkan dalam kitab ini hanya menekankan ketaatan Raja pada Allah menentukan pemerintahannya ke depan sebagai perpanjangan kekuasaan Allah atas umat Israel. Penulis kitab mempunyai tujuan dengan mengusung nilai-nilai budaya pathriakat yang kental dan penuh dengan unsur kekuasaan yang mendominasi sebagai penegasan kekuasaan Allah. Akan tetapi kisah Mikhal Putri Saul melalui penafsiran Feminis mampu menunjukan hal-hal yang perlu dikritisi dalam narasi kisah Mikhal nampak banyak menampilkan problem ketidakadilan sosial.

KEBIJAKAN MERDEKA BELAJAR DAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA KRISTEN DI INDONESIA
Talking about Education will always attract the attention of many people because it is always accompanied by various interests. In Indonesia, for example, the attention of a number of people will begin to focus on the new policy of the Minister of Education, namely Kampus Merdeka, Merdeka Belajar. There are new things, there are things that have been made for a long time but not done. Every era of government there is always a new policy. This is what makes many parents confused, including practitioners and practitioners of Education in this country. Christian education is part of the Indonesian education system and needs to find a place in line with other disciplines. Unfortunately, not everyone who is involved in education really pay attention to Christian education. It is very concerning that the knowledge of morality and strengthening of faith and belief does not get an equal share in this country. The presence of new policies becomes a big question, can the religious element still be the main choice in the aspect of education development in Indonesia? Or will it just be a side option without taking into account other aspects Key words: independence, policy, Education, christianity Abstrak Berbicara mengenai Pendidikan akan selalu mengundang perhatian banyak orang karena selalu disertai dengan berbagai kepentingan. Di Indonesia misalnya, perhatian sejumlah orang akan mulai focus kepada kebijakan baru Menteri Pendidikan, yaitu Kampus Merdeka, Merdeka Belajar. Ada hal yang baru, ada hal yang sesungguhnya sudah lama dibuat namun tidak terlaksana. Setiap era pemerintahan selalu ada kebijakan baru. Inilah yang membuat banyak orang tua menjadi bingung, termasuk praktisi dan pelaku Pendidikan di negeri ini. Pendidikan agama Kristen menjadi bagian dalam sistem Pendidikan Indonesia perlu mendapat tempat sejajar dengan disiplin ilmu lainnya. Sayangnya, tidak semua orang yang berkecimpung dalam dunia Pendidikan sungguh-sungguh memberi perhatian kepada Pendidikan agama Kristen. Sangat memprihatinkan kalau ilmu tentang akhlak dan penguatan iman serta keyakinan tidak mendapat porsi yang sejajar di negeri ini. Hadirnya kebijakan baru menjadi sebuah pertanyaan besar, apakah unsur religious masih dapat menjadi pilihan utama dalam aspek perkembangan Pendidikan di Indonesia? Ataukah hanya akan menjadi pilihan sampingan tanpa memperhitungkan aspek lain? Kata kunci: Merdeka, Kebijakan, Pendidikan, kristen
