Metode SAS Berbasis Gambar Untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Membaca Permulaan Anak Tunagrahita Ringan Di SLB Bhakti Luhur Malang

Klemensia Nini — 2024-10-30

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the image-based Synthetic Analytical Structure Method (SAS) in improving early reading skills in children with mild intellectual disabilities at SLB Bhakti Luhur Malang. The application of the SAS method consists of three stages, namely the introduction of complete sentences accompanied by images, analysis of sentence elements into words, syllables, and letters, and re-synthesis of these elements into complete sentences. The method used is the single subject experiment method (Single Subject Research) with an A-B-A design. This method was chosen to evaluate the effectiveness of the image-based Synthetic Analytical Structure Method (SAS) in improving early reading skills in children with mild intellectual disabilities at SLB Bhakti Luhur Malang. At the baseline stage 1 (A1) reading ability is measured without intervention, while the intervention stage (B) the SAS method is applied which combines sentence recognition with images and synthetic analysis of sentence elements. The results showed an increase in the subject's reading ability from 29% from the baseline phase (A1) to 62% in the intervention phase (B), and reached 84% in baseline phase 2 (A2). These results indicate that this approach not only improves reading comprehension, but also encourages student involvement in more active and interesting learning activities. Despite significant improvements, children with intellectual disabilities still need additional guidance in combining letters and words from more complex sentence variations. The results and findings of this study provide opportunities for further research to continue to improve the quality of education for children with special needs and maximize their potential in reading. The results of this study make an important contribution to the development of more effective and creative teaching methods for children with special needs. This research opens up opportunities for further studies to address the challenges of reading instruction in the group of children with intellectual disabilities.

Maksimilianus Petong Nalut — 2024-10-30

Injustice is a complex problem in various fields of human life. The Catholic Church, with its mission as a propagator of moral values and humanity, has a crucial role in creating justice in society. Pope Francis, through the Encyclical Fratelli Tutti, calls for the importance of justice missions based on universal brotherhood in facing the world's injustice crisis. The call to brotherhood transcends the barriers of faith and culture, striving for true humanity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mission of justice in the view of Fratelli Tutti to answer the challenges of global injustice. It also seeks to explore how the Church applies the messages in Fratelli Tutti in their daily lives, both personally and socially, to create positive changes in society. The methods used in this research are qualitative methods and critical reading of the encyclical as well as analysis of related literature. The result of this research is that the mission of justice carried out by the Church in its ministry should be carried out in the spirit of universal brotherhood, which includes the face of love, the spirit of dialogality, and actions as ambassadors of justice who are brave and committed to fighting for justice every day. This mission of justice is not only a legal demand, but also a divine call and moral call for the Church to act as an agent of renewal that brings society to a better place. In addition, the mission of justice is also not only about giving appropriate punishment to perpetrators of injustice, but also about reconciliation. The Church, through this role, can realize its humanity in the midst of a world and society that experiences injustice. The research findings are that the mission of justice promoted by the encyclical can answer the challenges of global injustice, build social change, and repair broken relationships. It is this inclusive and just attitude that will move people to fight for social justice.

Pembentukan Katekis Zaman Modern: Memahami Makna Biblis -Teologis Martabat Manusia dalam Rangka Evangelisasi Baru

Emmeria Tarihoran — 2024-10-30

This article discusses the concept of human dignity from a theological and biblical perspective, emphasizing its importance in the mission of the Church. Human dignity is the foundation of inherent rights and is not dependent on social status or cultural background. In the Book of Genesis, humans are created in the image of God (imago Dei), highlighting humanity's unique value and position within creation. This understanding serves as the basis for recognizing human rights at the international level, as articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations. The mission of the Church, as mandated in the Gospel, invites every member, not just the clergy, to engage in evangelization. The Church is expected to convey the Gospel's message in ways relevant to the cultural and social contexts of the communities it serves. This approach allows the Church's message to be more readily accepted and resonate with its audience's hearts. This article emphasizes that human dignity cannot be violated and must be respected in all social and pastoral actions. Acknowledging the dignity of each individual is crucial for promoting societal progress and fostering justice and peace. An awareness of the inherent dignity of humanity is expected to inspire individuals and communities to collaborate toward a more just and compassionate world where every person is valued and respected. Thus, understanding human dignity is vital to building a more harmonious society.

Kisah Hagar dan Ismael sebagai “Terowongan Silaturahmi”: Dasar Biblis Melawan Anti Peradaban

Servinus Haryanto Nahak — 2024-10-30

This article discusses the story of the expulsion of Hagar and Ishmael according to the Book of Genesis. The negative profile of Hagar and Ishmael as inherited in the New Testament (cf. Galatians 4:22-26) needs to be balanced with a more positive model of interpretation. Using qualitative methods through document research, the author emphasizes the opinion that the Book of Genesis is a result of editorial work that intentionally seeks a path of dialogue between different tribes in Palestine. To support the framework above, the author uses narrative analysis and evidence from redaction criticism. The results of this study showed: firstly, the figures of Hagar and Ishmael according to the Book of Genesis are not always black and white as Paul describes in Galatians. Secondly, the story of Hagar and Ishmael is a form of negotiation or joint consensus to seek dialogue and a path of peace so that it can be used as a biblical basis for discussions on interfaith dialogue or borrowing the term after Pope Francis' visit: “the silaturahmi tunnel”.
