Abstract
One of the goals of Christian education is to assist students in cultivating godly character. However, the reality indicates that some students display traits inconsistent with godly character, such as bullying, irresponsibility, and disrespect. Therefore, the role of teachers as a guide becomes crucial in encouraging students to grow in faith and exhibit Christlike character in their live. This paper aims to explain the role of Christian teachers as a guide in shaping students’ character using a literature review method. In shaping students’ characters, teachers implement various strategies in the classroom such as creating a positive learning environment, integrating characters’ education into lessons, and fostering reflection and self-awareness among students. The finding of this paper shows that Christian teachers have responsibility to guide the development of students’ Christian characters. To enhance this role, the suggestions for teachers are to provide learning methods that encourage character development and establish partnerships with families and churches to collectively guide the students.
Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak
Salah satu tujuan pendidikan Kristen adalah untuk membantu siswa mengembangkan karakter yang saleh. Namun, kenyataan menunjukkan bahwa beberapa siswa menunjukkan sifat-sifat yang tidak sesuai dengan karakter yang saleh, seperti perundungan, tidak bertanggung jawab, dan tidak sopan. Oleh karena itu, peran guru sebagai pembimbing menjadi sangat penting dalam mendorong siswa untuk bertumbuh dalam iman dan menunjukkan karakter Kristus dalam kehidupan mereka. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran guru Kristen sebagai pembimbing dalam membentuk karakter siswa dengan menggunakan metode studi literatur. Dalam membentuk karakter siswa, guru menerapkan berbagai strategi di dalam kelas seperti menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang positif, mengintegrasikan pendidikan karakter ke dalam pelajaran, dan menumbuhkan refleksi dan kesadaran diri di antara siswa. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa guru-guru Kristen memiliki tanggung jawab untuk membimbing perkembangan karakter Kristen siswa. Untuk meningkatkan peran ini, saran untuk para guru adalah untuk menyediakan metode pembelajaran yang mendorong pengembangan karakter dan membangun kemitraan dengan keluarga dan gereja untuk secara kolektif membimbing para siswa.
