From Bethlehem to the Classroom: An Incarnational Paradigm for Christian Early Childhood Education
type: item
description: This article develops an incarnational pedagogical paradigm for Christian early childhood education, grounded in the biblical narrative of the Incarnation as presented in Luke 2:1-20 and John 1:14. Employing a constructive theological method, the study integrates exegetical analysis of the selected biblical texts with contemporary educational theory and developmental psychology to formulate a holistic framework for children aged 0-6. Four interconnected dimensions are proposed: pedagogy as hospitality, curriculum as narrative participation, assessment as gift and growth, and community as the primary site of formation. The study argues that the Incarnation, understood as God's embodied presence in Jesus Christ, fundamentally reorders the logic of Christian education by displacing cognitive-centered and performance-driven models in favor of a framework centered on embodiment, relational presence, and prevenient grace. Children are affirmed as imago Dei, possessing intrinsic dignity and spiritual capacity prior to any academic achievement. The study concludes that when incarnational theology fully inhabits educational practice, the Christian classroom becomes a modern Bethlehem, a sacred space where divine love is made concretely real in the lives of young children and where the church reclaims its formative role in holistic child development. Keywords: incarnational theology; Christian early childhood education; embodied pedagogy; imago Dei; spiritual formation Abstrak Artikel ini mengembangkan paradigma pedagogis inkarnasional untuk pendidikan anak usia dini Kristen, yang berlandaskan pada narasi Alkitab tentang Inkarnasi sebagaimana tertuang dalam Lukas 2:1-20 dan Yohanes 1:14.

Formasi Spiritual dan Perkembangan Emosi Anak Usia Dini dalam Perspektif Psikologi Kristen
type: item
description: Early childhood emotional development is inseparable from the spiritual formation process that shapes the way children interpret themselves, relationships, and the surrounding environment. However, in the practice of early childhood education in Indonesia, the spiritual dimension is often reduced to ritual activities, without a deep connection to the development of children's emotions. This article aims to examine the relationship between spiritual formation and early childhood emotional development from a Christian psychological perspective. This study uses a literature study method by analyzing the literature on developmental psychology, Christian psychology, and theology of children's education. The results of the study show that spiritual formations that are relational, contextual, and consistent contribute significantly to emotional regulation, security, empathy, and emotional resilience in early childhood. The discussion affirms that in Christian psychology, emotions are understood as the initial space of the child's experience of faith, where love, acceptance, and secure attachment become the foundation of spirituality. The implications of this study show that early childhood Christian education in Indonesia needs to integrate emotional mentoring and spiritual formation holistically, by involving the active role of teachers and parents as value mediators and role models of faith in daily life. Keywords: early childhood; spiritual formation; emotional development; Christian psychology Abstrak Perkembangan emosi anak usia dini tidak dapat dipisahkan dari proses formasi spiritual yang membentuk cara anak memaknai diri, relasi, dan lingkungan sekitarnya. Namun, dalam praktik pendidikan anak usia dini di Indonesia, dimensi spiritual sering kali direduksi menjadi aktivitas ritual, tanpa keterkaitan yang mendalam dengan perkembangan emosi anak. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji relasi antara formasi spiritual dan perkembangan emosi anak usia dini dalam perspektif…

Hospitalitas sebagai Imajinasi Etis: Rekonstruksi Etika Perjanjian Lama bagi Filsafat Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini
type: item
description: The instrumentalist tendency in early childhood education which positions academic achievement as the primary goal, has displaced the relational dimension as the foundational basis of human formation. The absence of a philosophical framework capable of restoring education to its relational orientation represents a pressing concern, particularly at the most critical phase of child development. This study aims to reconstruct hospitality as an ethical imagination in the Old Testament and to articulate its contribution to the philosophy of early childhood education. A qualitative approach with a library research design was employed, utilizing philosophical-theological analysis of selected biblical texts (Genesis 18; Exodus 22:21; Leviticus 19:33–34; Deuteronomy 10:18–19) and normative conceptual reconstruction. The findings reveal that hospitality in the Old Testament is not merely a social virtue but an ethical imagination that shapes the moral orientation of the community through three core structures: openness to alterity, an ethics grounded in collective memory, and solidarity that transcends group boundaries. The philosophical reconstruction affirms that hospitality constitutes an educational foundation in which pedagogical action begins with receiving the child as a subject of alterity, education is understood as a practice of welcoming, and relationality is positioned as the pedagogical basis. This study contributes to the development of a relationally grounded philosophy of education by bringing Old Testament biblical ethics into dialogue with contemporary pedagogical reflection, while simultaneously offering a critique of performance-oriented educational paradigms. Keywords: biblical ethics; early childhood education; ethical imagination; hospitality; relationality Abstrak Kecenderungan instrumentalisme dalam pendidikan anak usia dini yang menempatkan capaian akademik sebagai tujuan utama telah menggeser dimensi relasional sebagai fondasi pembentukan manusia.

Pedagogi Tubuh dan Etika Kristen Inkarnasional: Refleksi Nilai Tou Limak dalam Budaya Rote Pada Anak Usia Dini
type: item
description: Character education in early childhood often falls into the trap of rote and verbal teaching, failing to touch the child’s lived experience. This study aims to reflect on the value of Tou Limak in Rote culture within the framework of incarnational Christian ethics and its implications for early childhood education. This research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design through observations and interviews with teachers, parents, and community leaders in Rote Ndao. The findings reveal that Tou Limak is not merely a cultural practice but a form of body pedagogy that embodies relational values such as empathy, togetherness, and respect. These values are expressed through concrete gestures such as handshaking, holding hands, and equal interactions. From the perspective of incarnational Christian ethics, this practice represents the values of love (agape), humility (kenosis), recognition of human dignity (imago Dei), and fellowship (koinonia) as lived experiences in children’s daily interactions. The findings indicate that ethical education becomes more effective when faith values are integrated with local culture and embodied in contextual relational practices. This study contributes to the development of a contextual Christian ethical education model based on local wisdom, in which Tou Limak serves as a medium for the incarnation of faith values and as a pedagogical approach to shaping children’s relational character. Keywords: body pedagogy; Christian incarnational ethics; early childhood education; tou limak, Rote culture Abstrak Pendidikan karakter pada anak usia dini seringkali terjebak pada pendekatan instruktif yakni pengajaran nilai yang bersifat hafalan dan verbal, sehingga kurang menyentuh dimensi pengalaman hidup anak.

Spiritualitas Anak Usia Dini dalam Perspektif Yesus: Analisis Eksegetis Markus 10:13-16 dan Relevansinya bagi Pedagogi Pendidikan Agama Kristen
type: item
description: The development of pedagogy in early childhood Christian Religious Education (CRE) often emphasizes the cognitive transmission of doctrine, while the spiritual dimension of children as theological subjects has not been sufficiently articulated through exegetical readings focused on Gospel texts. This article analyzes Mark 10:13–16 to explain how the passage presents children as those who are received by Jesus and presented as a model for receiving the Kingdom of God, and to examine its relevance for the pedagogy of early childhood Christian Religious Education. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a narrative and lexical exegetical approach to Mark 10:13–16, enriched by a reading of the parallel texts in Matthew 19:13–15 and Luke 18:15–17 as well as a review of literature on child theology and Christian education. The specific contribution of this article lies in the formulation of three characteristics of early childhood spirituality derived from the reading of this passage, namely receptivity to grace, incarnational relationality, and the paradigmatic function of the child for the life of discipleship. The findings show that Mark 10:13–16 not only affirms Jesus’ acceptance of children, but also positions them as theological subjects who reveal the logic of the Kingdom of God. These findings imply the need to develop a more child-friendly, relational, and community-based pedagogy of Christian Religious Education that involves family and church, while giving space to children’s experiences of faith within the Christian community. Keywords: Mark 10:13–16; children's spirituality; Christian religious education; narrative exegesis; pedagogy of children’s faith formation Abstrak Perkembangan pedagogi Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) anak usia dini kerap berfokus pada transmisi kognitif doktrin, sementara dimensi spiritualitas anak sebagai subjek teologis belum banyak dirumuskan melalui pembacaan eksegetis yang terfokus pada teks Injil.

Integrating Indigenous Knowledge into Early Childhood Education Curricula in Nigeria: Implications for Learning and Cultural Sustainability
type: item
description: Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Nigeria has historically been rooted in indigenous knowledge systems transmitted through oral traditions, storytelling, songs, proverbs, and communal play. Despite policy recognition of cultural relevance, classroom practice continues to prioritize standardized, Western-oriented curricula, creating a disconnect between children's cultural environments and their formal learning experiences. This study examines how indigenous knowledge and cultural practices are integrated into early childhood education curricula in Nigeria, with a focus on classroom practices, teacher perceptions, and pedagogical implications. Grounded in Vygotsky's socio-cultural learning theory and the culturally responsive pedagogy frameworks of Ladson-Billings and Gay, the study adopts a qualitative design. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with early childhood educators, and analysis of curriculum documents, and analyzed thematically. Findings reveal that while teachers occasionally incorporate indigenous stories, songs, games, and proverbs into classroom activities, such integration remains inconsistent and largely dependent on individual teacher initiative rather than systematic curriculum design. Children demonstrated markedly higher engagement and participation during culturally grounded activities. Key constraints include inadequate professional development in culturally responsive pedagogy, limited availability of culturally relevant instructional materials, and rigid adherence to standardized curricula. The study concludes that sustainable integration of indigenous knowledge into ECE requires systematic curriculum reform, targeted teacher training, and stronger home–school collaboration to support both learning outcomes and cultural continuity.

MENDIDIK SI KECIL: Teologi dan Anak Usia Dini dalam Analisis Filsafat Pendidikan Klasik Perennialisme, Esensialisme dan Rekonstruksionisme
type: item
description: Early childhood education is frequently approached through a technical-pedagogical lens without adequate philosophical foundations, while classical educational philosophy continues to operate in relative isolation from Christian educational theology. This gap constitutes the departure point of this study. This research aims to construct an integrative conceptual framework connecting three streams of classical educational philosophy (Perennialism, Essentialism, and Reconstructionism) with Christian educational theology for early childhood, employing “the Little One” as an anthropological metaphor denoting the human person in a state of becoming as a subject of Imago Dei. The method employed is a critical-philosophical literature study with an interdisciplinary approach between educational philosophy and Christian theology, conducted through systematic stages of literature exploration, conceptual categorization, critical-comparative analysis, and theological synthesis. The findings reveal that Perennialism contributes to the transmission of enduring values sourced from God as the origin of universal truth, yet requires pedagogical reinterpretation to remain responsive to the holistic development of young children; Essentialism provides a foundation for structured and systematic character formation consonant with the Biblical mandate, though it must be guarded against passive transmission tendencies that undermine children's agency; while Reconstructionism opens the transformative dimension of Christian education through forming children as Gospel-grounded agents of change, albeit with its transformative vision needing to be corrected by divine revelation rather than human critical reason alone. The integration of all three produces a holistic transmit–form–transform paradigm for Christian early childhood education. This study contributes to the development of philosophically grounded Christian educational theology and carries practical implications for churches, famil…

Integrating Modern Theology into Early Childhood Faith Education: A Literature Review
type: item
description: This study is a literature review that aims to analyze the integration of modern Christian theological thought with early childhood faith education (PAKAUD). Modern Christian theology, through its contextual approach to biblical texts and its response to socio-cultural dynamics, provides new perspectives for designing relevant faith-learning strategies in the digital era. The research method used is a literature review, examining recent books, journal articles, and academic sources, both national and international, focusing on early childhood Christian education. The analysis shows that integrating modern theology with holistic pedagogy such as Godly Play, storytelling, and experience-based learning enriches the process of faith formation from an early age. Practical implications include the development of contextual curricula, training for early childhood Christian teachers, creating child-friendly learning environments, and strengthening collaboration among families, churches, and schools. Therefore, this study contributes to building a model of children’s faith education that is responsive to modern challenges while maintaining a solid theological foundation. Keywords: early childhood; faith education for children; Godly Play; literature review; modern theology Abstrak Penelitian ini merupakan kajian pustaka yang bertujuan untuk menganalisis integrasi pemikiran teologi Kristen modern dengan praktik pendidikan iman anak usia dini (PAKAUD).

Screen Free Parenting dengan Kegiatan Alternatif yang Kreatif bagi Orang Tua Kristen dalam Membimbing Anak Usia Dini
type: item
description: The increasing use of digital devices among young children has created a dilemma in Christian family parenting. Parents often choose the practicality of giving gadgets to calm or distract their children, despite being aware of the potential negative impacts. This condition highlights the need for an alternative approach to parenting that not only protects children from digital risks but also nurtures their growth in love and faith. This study aims to formulate a screen-free parenting approach by integrating child development theories and Christian theology.The research method employed a literature study by analyzing Piaget’s preoperational stage, Erikson’s psychosocial needs, and the theological concept of Imago Dei (Gen. 1:27). Additional literature reviewed includes recommendations from the WHO and the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding screen time limitations for young children. The results show that children need love, identity, and meaningful relationships that cannot be replaced by digital interactions. Face-to-face family engagement through conversation, prayer, Bible reading, and creative activities is more effective in fostering empathy, spirituality, and the wholeness of a child’s personality. The conclusion emphasizes that screen-free parenting is a contextual alternative approach aligned with Christian values. This study contributes practical guidance for Christian parents to accompany their children in the digital era without relying on gadgets. Keywords: Christian perspective; creative alternative; gadget; theology of childhood Abstrak Penggunaan gawai pada anak usia dini semakin meningkat dan menimbulkan dilema dalam pola asuh keluarga Kristen.

Hubungan Spiritualitas dan Resiliensi Anak Usia Dini: Perspektif Pendidikan Agama Kristen dan Psikologi Positif
type: item
description: This study highlights the importance of building resilience in early childhood as preparation for developmental challenges, with spirituality serving as a key protective factor. Christian Religious Education (CRE) and positive psychology are viewed as strategic in nurturing spirituality that strengthens children’s resilience. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between spirituality and resilience in early childhood from the perspectives of CRE and positive psychology, as well as to identify its formative mechanisms. A qualitative-descriptive method was employed through literature review of national and international journals, textbooks, and relevant documents. The findings show that CRE develops children’s spirituality through faith narratives, ritual practices, and secure caregiving relationships, while positive psychology reinforces it by fostering character strengths such as gratitude, hope, forgiveness, and optimism. The integration of both perspectives creates synergy between internal factors, such as meaning in life and emotional regulation, and external factors, such as faith community support, effectively strengthening resilience. This study affirms that developing spirituality based on CRE and positive psychology is a significant pedagogical and psychological strategy for fostering children’s holistic resilience. Keywords: Christian religious education; early childhood resilience; early childhood spirituality; positive psychology Abstrak Penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya membangun resiliensi anak usia dini sebagai bekal menghadapi tantangan perkembangan, dengan spiritualitas sebagai faktor protektif utama.

Pendidikan Moral dan Teologi: Empati dan Kasih Sayang Anak Usia Dini dalam Konteks Kontemporer di Indonesia
type: item
description: Digital transformation poses serious challenges to the moral and spiritual development of early childhood, particularly in the formation of empathy and love. This study aims to analyze the role of moral and religious education, with an emphasis on Early Childhood Christian Education (PKAUD), in shaping a child’s character founded on love. The method employed is a qualitative-descriptive literature study, integrating theories of moral development (Piaget, Erikson, Bronfenbrenner) with the biblical-theological framework of love (hesed, agape, paideia). The findings indicate that the family serves as the primary ecosystem for cultivating children’s empathy through role modeling, spiritual practices, and the management of digital media. The church, through Sunday school and pastoral care, plays a role in instilling disciplined yet gentle love, while schools reinforce collaboration by implementing interactive learning grounded in moral and faith-based values. Theoretically, this study affirms that the development of children’s empathy is rooted not only in psychological aspects but also in spirituality as a transformative divine reality. This research contributes by offering a conceptual model of Christian early childhood education that integrates discipline, faith-based role modeling, and spiritual guidance, thereby positioning moral and religious education not merely as normative, but as a transformative means for children’s growth. Keywords: children and modernity; early childhood Christian education; early childhood theology; empathy and love Abstrak Transformasi digital membawa tantangan serius bagi perkembangan moral dan spiritual anak usia dini, khususnya dalam pembentukan empati dan kasih.

In this context, Christian Religious Education teachers play a strategic role as instructors, mentors, facilitators, and role models who influence the intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and social development of their students. The research applies a qualitative method using a literature review approach, focusing on analyzing scholarly works regarding the effectiveness of Christian Religious Education teachers in fostering learning independence. The findings indicate that effective implementation of interactive learning strategies can promote learning independence by stimulating students’ interests and talents, creating a supportive learning environment, providing motivation and recognition, and strengthening social skills. Moreover, internal factors such as motivation and self-efficacy, alongside external factors including family support and the school environment, significantly contribute to shaping students’ learning independence. Therefore, the active role of Christian Religious Education teachers is essential in achieving the objectives of Christian education, namely developing students into independent, responsible, and integrity-driven individuals.

Fungsi Kontrol Keluarga Kristen dan Pembentukan Karakter Anak Generasi Alpha: Sebuah Studi Kasus di GKI EL-ROI Sentani
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the control functions within Christian families at the GKI El Roi Church in Sentani, Papua, in shaping the character of Generation Alpha children. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research identifies four main functions: religious, affection, supervision, and social-educational. Data were collected through interviews and observations of 25 families with Generation Alpha children, and analyzed through transcript data, data reduction, and presentation to draw conclusions. The findings show that the religious function is well-implemented, shaping children's morals and spirituality from an early age. However, the affection function is not fully optimized due to parents' time constraints and family environment influences. Supervision within the community is adequate, but control over gadget use remains insufficient. Meanwhile, the social and educational functions are carried out effectively. Optimization of the control function is necessary to shape children's character according to parental expectations. Better supervision of gadget use would also reduce children's dependency and promote healthier interactions. In conclusion, a holistic approach to the control function in Christian families at GKI El Roi is essential to shaping strong and wise children capable of facing the challenges of the digital era. Keywords: control function; Christian family; character; Generation Alpha; GKI El-Roi Sentani Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi fungsi kontrol dalam keluarga Kristen di Jemaat GKI El Roi Sentani, Papua, dalam membentuk karakter anak Generasi Alpha.

description: A child's lack of understanding of God's Word can hinder their spiritual development. This is due to the use of inappropriate methods in conveying God's Word to children. Understanding God's Word is a crucial aspect in shaping children's knowledge and attitudes. This study aims to explore storytelling as an effective tool to enhance the understanding of God's Word and foster spiritual growth. It also emphasizes the important role of teachers in guiding and directing children to connect spiritual lessons with everyday experiences, thereby strengthening the relationship between daily life and Christian values. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a literature review approach to understand the impact of storytelling on children's spiritual development. The results of this research demonstrate that the use of storytelling is highly effective in reinforcing the understanding of God's Word and nurturing children's spiritual dimensions. Moreover, engaging biblical narratives and the selection of stories relevant to the child’s developmental stage make it easier for them to grasp spiritual concepts and religious values. Consequently, the interaction between teachers and children during storytelling creates space for deep discussions and questions, enriching their understanding of the spiritual meanings embedded in the stories. Thus, it can be concluded that storytelling is an effective approach to enhancing children's understanding of God's Word and fostering their spiritual growth from an early age.
