Dampak Pengajaran Pak Terhadap Religiusitas Peserta Didik Di SMK Negeri 2 Idanogawo
Pendidikan Agama Kristen merupakan salah satu Mata Pelajaran utama yang sangat penting diajarkan kepada peserta didik karena mata pelajaran tersebut mengajarkan tentang keimanan peserta didik kepada Tuhan Yesus Kristus. Peserta didik adalah generasi penerus bangsa yang harus di didik sehingga mereka memiliki nilai-nilai keagamaan dan memiliki iman serta takut akan Tuhan. Di Indonesia terdapat 6 (enam) agama yang diakui dan dianut oleh Masyarakat Indonesia, diantaranya Agama Kristen Protestan, Agama Katolik, Agama Islam, Agama Buddha, Agama Hindu dan Agama Konghucu. Agama yang dianut oleh setiap manusia memiliki tujuan yaitu menjadikan aturan yang berasal dari Tuhan dengan ajaran kebaikan dan kehidupan yang benar serta menuntun manusia kembali pada hakekat kemanusiannya. Agama Kristen Protestan mengajarkan bagaimana peserta didik memiliki kesadaran dalam melakukan kehendak Tuhan dan juga mengajarkan peserta didik agar taat dalam beribadah dan tidak melawan kehendak Tuhan. Dampak pengajaran PAK terhadap religiusitas peserta didik sangatlah penting, karena apabila pengajaran PAK ini tidak berdampak, maka peserta didik yang menempuh pendidikan tidak ada hasil yang dicapai.
