Abstract

It seems that the focus of the study was to explore how Christian teachers at Kanaan Junior High School and Senior High School in Jakarta apply humanist education principles in their teaching practices, based on the Christian faith and the principle of love, as outlined in Deuteronomy 6:5. The study used a descriptive qualitative method to gather information about the teachers' understanding of humanist education and how they apply it in the classroom. The study found that the Christian teachers at Kanaan Jakarta have a good understanding of the principles of humanist education and apply them in their teaching practices. They focus on the unique qualities of each student, emphasize education as a means to finding personal meaning, and strive to help students become independent and responsible decision-makers. They also use communicative teaching methods and technology in the classroom and act as evaluators and facilitators in the learning process. Overall, it seems that the study aimed to show that Christian teachers at Kanaan Jakarta are able to incorporate humanist education principles into their teaching practices while remaining true to their Christian faith and the principles of love outlined in Deuteronomy 6:5.
