Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of the philosophy of science as a foundation in the transformation of Christian Religious Education in the digital era. Using a qualitative research method through literature review, this study analyzes various literatures related to the philosophy of science, educational technology, and the development of Christian Religious Education in the context of digitalization. The results show that the philosophy of science is an important foundation for understanding and integrating digital technology without neglecting Christian faith values. This educational transformation brings a paradigm shift that demands the adaptation of methods and learning media to be more relevant and effective in addressing the challenges of the digital era. Furthermore, the study identifies various challenges such as digital ethics and the risk of individualism that educators and learners must face. However, the digital era also opens great opportunities for the development of innovative learning media that can enhance the quality and attractiveness of Christian Religious Education. The philosophical implications of this transformation emphasize the importance of maintaining spiritual and moral integrity in educational practice, so that the younger generation is not only intellectually intelligent but also strong in faith and character. In conclusion, the transformation of Christian Religious Education in the digital era must be based on the philosophy of science to create an adaptive education rooted in Christian values

Abstract

This article examines the importance of learning among adults as part of lifelong learning and personal, professional, social, and psychological development. Adult learning is often underestimated because learning is commonly associated with children and adolescents. The literature reviewed in this article indicates that adults continue to need opportunities to update knowledge, develop practical skills, improve professional competence, and adapt to social and technological change. The study uses a qualitative literature-study approach by reviewing literature relevant to adult education, adult learning, and lifelong learning. The analysis is organized thematically around the meaning of adulthood, the importance of adult learning, adult-learning characteristics, efforts to improve learning capacity, and factors that influence participation and effectiveness. The review shows that adult learning becomes more meaningful when it is connected with learners’ experience, self-concept, practical needs, and problem-solving orientation. Active learning, appropriate use of technology, supportive learning environments, and lifelong-learning orientation can strengthen adult participation and learning outcomes. Barriers such as limited time, cost, scheduling, transportation, family responsibilities, and psychological factors also need to be considered. The article concludes that adult learning should be viewed as a continuing need and an important investment in individual competence, independence, and quality of life.
