This study was developed to investigate parents' perceptions and attitudes towards distance learning in response to many schools' closures due to the COVID-19. This research employed a qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of parents of elementary school students in the City of Gunungsitoli, Indonesia determined by purposive sampling technique, totaling twenty-four people. The data were collected using semi-structured interview techniques and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. This study shows that distance learning or learning from home in a research context takes the form of online and offline learning. The learning approach implemented during the COVID-19 emergency must be lived and supported without other options for parents. Although parents do not have negative perceptions, distance learning has increased the economic, psychological, and social burden on parents or families. The lack of parental involvement and support in children's learning process at home is generally due to the lack of time and parents' inability to become teachers for their children. Actions to accompany and support children's learning process at home are carried out to provide internet packages, help children master the material, and participate in completing assignments or tests given by the teacher. The surprising finding from this study is the decline in children's learning motivation and cognitive abilities. Parents hope that distance learning is not extended.

Artikel ini membahas tentang dimensi spiritualitas dalam kepribadian guru pendidikan agama Kristen. Spiritualitas menjadi sangat penting karena pengajaran yang guru pendidikan agama Kristen lakukan bertujuan untuk meningkatkan spiritualitas peserta didiknya. Ia mesti memiliki spiritualitas yang baik sehingga ia dapat menjadi teladan dalam pengajarannya. Dalam tulisan ini, penulis berupaya memaparkan nilai-nilai esensial spiritualitas yang harus dimiliki oleh seorang guru PAK dalam rangka memenuhi tugas panggilannya sebagai seseorang yang memiliki profesi sebagai guru. Untuk boleh sampai pada tujuan tersebut, penulis mengembangkan nilai-nilai esensial spiritualitas itu, dengan melakukan kajian litaratur dan analisis isi. Berdasarkan penelusuran dari berbagai sumber, termasuk di dalamnya hakikat sipritualitas dari sudut pandang Kekristenan, penulis memaparkan nilai-nilai esensial spiritual yang harus dimiliki seorang guru PAK. Nilai-nilai esensial spiritualitas tersebut dikelompokkan ke dalam dua dimensi, yakni dimensi personal dan dimensi relasional.
Penelitian ini dikembangkan untuk menyelidiki persepsi dan sikap orang tua terhadap pembelajaran jarak jauh, sebagai respon atas penutupan banyak sekolah akibat pandemic Covid-19. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari orang tua siswa sekolah dasar di Kota Gunungsitoli yang ditetapkan dengan teknik purposive sampling, berjumlah dua puluh empat orang. Data dijaring dengan menggunakan teknik wawancara semi-terstruktur dan dianalisis dengan teknik analisis tematik. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran jarak jauh atau belajar dari rumah dalam konteks penelitian diselenggarakan dalam bentuk pembelajaran daring dan luring. Bagi orang tua, pendekatan pembelajaran yang diberlakukan pada masa darurat pandemi Covid-19 adalah sesuatu yang harus dijalani dan didukung karena ketiadaan pilihan lain. Meskipun orangtua tidak memiliki persepsi negatif, namun pembelajaran jarak jauh telah berkontribusi terhadap bertambahnya beban orangtua atau keluarga secara ekonomi, psikologi dan sosial. Minimnya keterlibatan dan dukungan orang tua dalam proses belajar anak di rumah secara umum disebabkan oleh ketiadaan waktu dan ketidakmampuan orang tua menjadi guru bagi anak-anaknya di rumah. Tindakan mendampingi dan mendukung proses belajar anak di rumah dilakukan dalam bentuk penyediaan paket internet, membantu anak menguasai materi, dan ikut serta menyelesaikan tugas atau tes yang diberikan oleh guru. Temuan yang mengejutkan dari penelitian ini adalah menurunnya motivasi belajar dan kemampuan kognitif anak. Oang tua berharap agar pembelajaran jarak jauh tidak diperpanjang pada sisa tahun pelajaran 2020/2021, sehingga anak-anak boleh belajar kembali di institusi pendidikan.
