PENDIDIKAN AGAMA KRISTEN, DEKADENSI MORAL DAN GENERASI Z

Abstract

With the advancement of technology and globalization, Generation Z faces pressures and values that often conflict with traditional moral teachings. This research aims to explore the role of Christian education in addressing moral decay among Generation Z, a demographic growing up in the digital age with complex moral and ethical challenges. Christian education is expected to serve as a tool for shaping strong character and moral behavior among these youths. The study employs a literature review method to collect and analyze relevant literature on the fundamental concepts of Christian education, biblical moral principles, and their practical applications in the modern context. The primary focus of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative Christian teaching approaches, including the use of technology, digital media, and interactive learning methods in addressing the moral challenges faced by Generation Z. The findings suggest that Christian education integrated with technology and interactive learning methods can positively impact character formation and moral behavior. By leveraging digital resources and approaches that align with the needs of Generation Z, Christian education can reinforce moral values, enhance spiritual awareness, and help teenagers navigate social pressures and ethical issues.
