- Abstract
The purpose of this research is to find out the application of the actualization of Bible integration through Integrated Social Studies learning using the Freedom to Learn Curriculum. This type of research uses a qualitative approach. In contrast, the approach uses a phenomenological design that attempts to reveal events under the actual conditions, so it depends on 1) perception, 2) comprehension, 3) understanding, and 4) a person’s assumptions. The implementation of this research took place in several private Christian schools in the city of Surakarta. As students in Christian schools with diverse backgrounds, building multiculturalism must be guided by the teachings of the Christian faith through implementing the Bible. Association and cooperation with people of different ethnicities, cultures, customs, habits, perspectives, ways of thinking, and religions are expected to further strengthen faith in God. The task of Christian education is to guide students to God’s purposes for humans, character, and the divine (Howard, 2008, p. 2). This then becomes the basis of Christian education, namely Jesus Christ and His word. “For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11). Christian schools have a Christian philosophy that determines the variety and quality of existing educational presentations. This Christian philosophy will also show the values that the school applies. Values are a set of principles, standards, or qualities considered to be useful or necessary. Education grows out of philosophy; in true education, philosophy is rooted in biblical theology. In other words, true education is built on the values found in the word of God (the Bible). So, Christian schools need to build the implementation of Christian education learning values that originate from the Bible. This is biblical integration in subjects (BBI: Bible-based Integration). The key informants were Integrated Social Studies subject teachers from each school, while additional informants were students as research subjects. Data collection techniques were used: observation and interviews, while data analysis techniques used interactive models from Miles and Huberman, including 4 (four) components: (1) data collection, (2) data reduction, (3) data presentation, and (4) concluding/verification. As for testing the validity of the data, the credibility test was used either through triangulation or checking with members/members checking.
