Summary

INTRODUCTION

In recent years community awareness of the importance of inculcating religious values in children has begun to increase. Parents have a very important role for children's religious education in the family This is in line with the view of Jalaluddin (1996: 68) that the introduction of religious teachings from an early age is very influential in shaping religious awareness and experience in children. Intrinsic conversion of religion occurs because of an inability to understand the teachings of his religion, and a lack of confidence in the religion that is followed Whereas extrinsically it can occur because the offer is more profitable worldly than other religious parties. If the child has experiences that contain many religious values during their childhood , they will have their personality in good qualities (daiwi sampad) If his childhood experience is far from religious teachings, the elements of personality will be far from religion, which makes the child's personality unstable and influenced by an uneducating environment. The question is how the cultivation of religious values is carried out in shaping the religious attitudes of Hindu teenagers in Taro village, it is important to study it from an ethnopedagogical point of view amid the concerns of the Hindus of the Taro village of religious conversion, namely from Hinduism to Christianity which has settled for a long time in Taro Village
