Abstract

This study explores how popular culture influences Generation Z's understanding of Christian values, a generation raised in the digital age with unlimited information access. Generation Z possesses unique traits, including strong technological skills, multitasking abilities, and quick reactions to social issues. However, they also tend to be individualistic, less independent, and have limited social skills. Popular culture, heavily influenced by mass media and digital trends, significantly shapes the identity and values of Generation Z. This culture often promotes individualism, materialism, and hedonism, which conflict with Christian values like love, humility, and service. Consequently, Generation Z may struggle to understand and apply Christian values in their lives. The study employs a literature review method to gather information from various sources regarding the impact of popular culture on Generation Z's grasp of Christian values. Findings suggest that popular culture can obscure their understanding of these values, leading them to prefer spectacular and emotional spiritual experiences over a deeper understanding of doctrine. Therefore, Christian Religious Education (CRE) plays a crucial role in assisting Generation Z in comprehending and embodying Christian values. PAK must adopt relevant and engaging strategies, utilizing digital media and interactive learning methods. Additionally, it should foster critical thinking skills, enabling Generation Z to differentiate between Christian values and those that conflict with them.

Abstract

Theological education is designed to equip students with the knowledge, competencies, and dispositions necessary for effective ministry. This article situates Matthew 28:19 as the biblical and theological foundation for the content dimension of the curriculum. The dominical command to “make disciples of all nations” underscores the universal and enduring mandate of the church. A linguistic and exegetical analysis of the Greek text demonstrates that the principal verb matheteusate (“make disciples”) is structurally reinforced by the aorist participle poreuthentes (“go”) and further elaborated through the imperatives “baptize” and “teach.” These grammatical features reveal that the content of theological instruction must be oriented toward comprehensive discipleship, integrating both doctrinal formation and practical engagement. The study argues for the development of teaching content that is contextually grounded, missionally relevant, and theologically rooted in the authority of Christ. By placing matheteusate at the center of curricular reflection, the article highlights discipleship as an ongoing, holistic, and universally applicable process encompassing instruction, mentoring, and spiritual accompaniment. Drawing on theological and linguistic perspectives, this study advances the claim that curriculum design in theological education must be intentionally aligned with the Great Commission. Methodologically, the research employs a quantitative approach to examine the explanatory and confirmatory dimensions of curriculum development.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between lecturers’ ego-state typologies and student satisfaction at a theological college in Malang, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive correlational design, the research involved nine lecturers and sixty students, using quantitative questionnaires to identify lecturers’ ego states (Parent, Adult, Child) and assess student satisfaction. Findings reveal a convergence of perceptions between lecturers and students, with the Nurturing Parent and Adult ego states predominating. Lecturers who demonstrate empathy, support, and rationality enhance students’ comfort and satisfaction, whereas overly authoritarian or excessively compliant behaviors prove less effective. The results underscore the importance of balancing empathy, rationality, and spiritual modeling to strengthen academic interactions, foster a positive learning environment, and support students’ intellectual and spiritual development.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the development and implementation of PAIKEM-oriented blended learning media as an instructional innovation to improve students’ academic achievement. Rapid technological advancement in the digital era has significantly transformed educational paradigms, making the integration of information and communication technology an essential requirement in 21st-century learning. In response to this shift, the development of effective and engaging learning media has become increasingly important, particularly in religious education contexts.Christian Religious Education not only provides students with opportunities to construct knowledge and deepen conceptual understanding, but also encourages the internalization and application of values reflected in students’ attitudes and communication. The adoption of a PAIKEM (Active, Innovative, Creative, Effective, and Joyful Learning) approach within a blended learning environment is considered a strategic alternative to promote student engagement and enhance learning outcomes, especially during the pandemic period.The findings indicate that the implementation of PAIKEM-oriented blended learning media at SD Inpres Namano enabled students to participate in diverse learning activities that fostered understanding, skills development, and active learning. Teachers were required to utilize various learning resources and instructional tools, including the surrounding environment, to create an active, innovative, engaging, and enjoyable learning atmosphere. Overall, the use of interactive multimedia-based blended learning media grounded in the PAIKEM approach proved to be an effective alternative for supporting Christian Religious Education instruction and improving students’ academic achievement.
