Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001This study examined whether using technology in teaching improves children's motivation to learn at a Buddhist Sunday school in Indonesia. Researchers surveyed 48 children and found that technology-based learning had a positive effect on their motivation. The findings suggest that integrating technology into religious education can help engage children better and encourage them to participate more actively.
Key points
- Children at the Sunday school faced problems with low participation, lack of parental encouragement, and poor concentration
- Technology-based learning showed a positive effect on learning motivation through simple linear regression analysis
- The study classified learning motivation among the children as high
- Integration of technology in learning can enhance student engagement and contribute to better outcomes
- Findings are intended to help educators and monastery administrators design more effective learning strategies
Limitations
The study is limited to a single location (one Buddhist Sunday school) with a small sample of 48 children, which may not represent all similar contexts. The research does not specify which particular technologies were used or provide comparison with non-technology-based approaches to determine relative effectiveness.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of technology-based learning on the learning motivation of students at Buddha Dharma Jaya Sunday School. The issues faced by children at the Sunday school include a lack of active participation in the monastery, insufficient motivation or encouragement from parents to engage in monastery activities, and a lack of concentration in learning. This research employs a survey method involving 48 respondents who are children from Buddha Dharma Jaya Sunday School at Jina Marga Dipa Vihara in 2024. The results of the data analysis indicate that the learning motivation variable is categorized as high. Through simple linear regression analysis, it was found that technology-based learning has a positive effect on the learning motivation of Sunday school children. These findings suggest that the integration of technology in the learning process can enhance student engagement and motivation, which in turn can contribute to better learning outcomes. This study provides important insights for educators and monastery administrators in designing more effective and engaging learning strategies for children.
