Communication Strategies of Christian Religious Education Teachers in Christian Religious Education Learning: A Case Study at SMP Negeri 2 Panombeian Panei
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to analyze the communication patterns of Christian Religious Education teachers in the learning process at Panombeian Panei 2 Public Junior High School, Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra. Effective communication is an essential component in conveying Christian values and building meaningful learning relationships. A descriptive qualitative approach with case study methods was used to collect data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results showed that Christian Religious Education teachers at Panombeian Panei 2 Public Junior High School implemented multi-directional communication patterns with a dialogical-contextual approach that considers the local Batak cultural background. This communication pattern includes verbal and non-verbal aspects based on Christian values such as love, understanding, and respect for students. The main challenges include diversity in students' religious understanding levels, limited learning media, and the complexity of integrating Christian values with local culture. This research recommends enhancing the communication competence of Christian Religious Education teachers through continuous professional development training and optimizing the use of information technology as a learning communication medium.
