The Fruit of the Spirit is an important theological value to teach children because it contains points for everyday behavior. However, learning about the Fruit of the Spirit often encounters obstacles and is difficult for children aged 8-12 years to understand because it is considered too abstract and difficult to convey in simple language. Furthermore, obstacles come from the learning media used which are still conventional. Therefore, effective learning media are needed that can attract the interest and motivation of children to want to learn and apply the Fruit of the Spirit in everyday life, such as board games. In board games, there are components that can attract emotions and can be used as media, namely character pawns. The method used is the Design Thinking method with descriptive analysis. This approach is used to analyze data from the results of observations, interviews, literature studies, and questionnaires, as well as to develop concepts and design results. Thus, the character pawns can be created with a human-centered design approach, which is able to create visuals that have a close relationship with children's psychology.

This study aims to demonstrate that a lack of curiosity is a fundamental factor influencing adolescents’ preference for social media over traditional news outlets. To examine this issue, the research employed a mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative data gathered through questionnaires. A total of 30 informants participated and were categorized into two developmental groups: early adolescents aged 12–14 and middle adolescents aged 15–17. The questionnaire explored respondents’ curiosity levels, information-seeking habits, and motivations for choosing certain media platforms. The findings indicate that low curiosity significantly contributes to the preference for social media among early adolescents. At this stage, their interest in deeper information is still limited, making them more inclined toward fast, simple, and entertaining content. However, the hypothesis is less applicable to middle adolescents. Although they also frequently use social media, their media choices are influenced by additional factors such as peer dynamics, a growing sense of autonomy, and broader exposure to information from various sources. This difference suggests that the relationship between curiosity and media preference becomes more complex as adolescents mature. Overall, the study highlights that strategies to encourage critical information-seeking behavior must be tailored to adolescents’ developmental stages.
