Abstract

This study examines the integration of social media in Christian Education and its impact on the interaction between students and lecturers. With the development of digital technology, the use of social media in education has become increasingly relevant to enhance student engagement and facilitate communication in learning. The study adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method, collecting data through questionnaires distributed to students and lecturers involved in Christian Education that incorporates social media. The findings show that the integration of social media positively influences the interaction between students and lecturers, offering benefits in enhancing collaboration, accessibility to materials, and student participation. However, the study also identifies challenges related to content accuracy and professionalism in using social media. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more effective and relevant Christian Education teaching methods in the digital era.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the question of how effectively technology can support the teaching and learning of Christian Religious Education at Arastamar Theological Seminary Wamena, an institution operating within the geographical and digital infrastructure limitations of Papua. The author argues that technology holds strategic potential to expand access, enhance interactivity, and enrich the learning experience of theology students; however, its integration must be sensitive to the social, cultural, and spiritual context of Papuan society. Theories of technology-based learning and Christian pedagogy suggest that technology can serve as an effective tool when critically and contextually adapted. This research employs a qualitative method involving interviews, observations, and document analysis to evaluate the practice of technology use at Arastamar Theological Seminary Wamena. The findings indicate that digital technology has been integrated into the curriculum and has positively influenced the quality of learning, though significant challenges remain—particularly in terms of infrastructure, digital literacy, and resistance among some lecturers and students. The study concludes that technology can strengthen the process of Christian religious education when managed wisely and contextually, and it highlights the need for continuous policy development and training for Christian educators in remote regions.
