Tantangan dan Peluang Pendidikan Agama Kristen di Era Digital Untuk Kaum Dewasa

Abstract

The digital era has brought significant changes to many areas of life, including Christian Religious Education. For adults who often play central roles in family, church and society, Christian Religious Education (PAK) faces unique challenges and opportunities. This research aims to identify and analyze the challenges and opportunities that arise when implementing PAK in the digital era for adults. The main challenges faced are digital distraction, limited digital literacy, and a lack of relevant and contextual digital content. On the other hand, the digital era also offers great opportunities, such as access to learning materials through online platforms, easy access to Bible-based spiritual resources and applications, as well as the formation of religious communities through social media. This research uses a qualitative approach through literature reviews and studies case in adult Christian communities. The findings show that although the digital era is accompanied by technical and social challenges, there is great potential in using technology as a learning tool. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed, including the development of digital-based PAK modules, increasing digital literacy among adults, and collaboration between churches and technology providers.
