Strategi Guru Pendidikan Agama Buddha dalam Mengajarkan Konsep Paticcasamuppada

Abstract

The concept of Interdependent Origination (Pa?iccasamupp?da) is difficult for most students, so students' understanding of the concept is generally low. This study aims to describe the right strategy for Buddhist Religious Education Teachers in teaching Pa?iccasamupp?da. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research type. The informants in this study were Buddhist Religious Education teachers, students, and principals. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Data validity techniques were carried out by testing credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmation. The results of this study concluded: (1) The strategies applied in the Pa?iccasamupp?da learning process are expository, inquiry, contextual, and cooperative. The methods used are lectures, demonstrations, questions and answers, discovery, presentation, recitation, and cooperation with the TCL learning model, contextual learning model, and learning models that use Buddhist teachings as a reference. (2) The obstacles faced are low student mood, teacher readiness in teaching is still lacking, sudden activities so that teaching and learning cannot be carried out according to schedule, and learning is less in accordance with the objectives. (3) The advantages of the strategy used by the teacher are that the material presented by the teacher is clearer with limited time, raises student enthusiasm and active participation in the learning process, and makes it easy to understand the material because it is related to the real world experienced by students, and trains students to work in groups. (4) The disadvantage of the strategy used by the teacher in the presentation method is that the use of learning media is not optimal.
