Abstract

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to various aspects of human life, including education. Expanded internet access allows students to obtain information quickly and easily. However, this progress is also marked by an increase in various online risks, one of which is the phenomenon of cyber-grooming, which targets children and adolescents as a vulnerable group. Cyber-grooming is a manipulative process carried out by perpetrators to build emotional relationships with victims through digital media for the purpose of exploitation. This study aims to examine in-depth the pedagogical role of Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers in addressing the phenomenon of cyber-grooming through a Christian values-based digital literacy approach. The method used was literature observation, reviewing various relevant academic sources. The results of the study indicate that CRE teachers play a strategic role in shaping the awareness of digital learners, who are raised through the integration of Christian faith values such as love, self-control, wisdom, and responsibility. This approach serves not only as a preventative measure against digital threats but also as a means of holistic character development. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen teacher competencies and develop a curriculum that is responsive to the challenges of the digital era.
