Abstract

The digital transformation has fundamentally altered family dynamics and child development patterns, creating unprecedented challenges for moral and spiritual formation within contemporary families. While technology offers substantial benefits, unregulated digital exposure poses significant risks to children's character development and spiritual growth. This study examines the critical role of parents in fostering moral and spiritual development among family members during the digital era, utilizing biblical principles from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 as a theoretical framework. A systematic literature review methodology was employed, analyzing peer-reviewed publications from 2018-2024 focusing on parental influence, digital era challenges, and family-based character formation. Data were synthesized using thematic analysis to identify key patterns and relationships between parental practices and child development outcomes. The analysis reveals that intentional parental engagement significantly correlates with positive character formation outcomes in children exposed to digital environments. Effective parental strategies include structured digital literacy education, consistent moral guidance, and active spiritual mentorship. Families implementing comprehensive digital stewardship approaches demonstrated superior outcomes in children's moral reasoning, spiritual development, and behavioral regulation compared to families with minimal parental involvement. Parents serve as primary architects of family moral and spiritual development, particularly in navigating digital era complexities. The integration of biblical principles with contemporary parenting strategies provides a robust framework for character formation. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting proactive parental involvement as essential for optimal child development in technologically saturated environments.

Abstract

Sex education for children in Sunday schools, particularly those aged 0–12 years, is a significant topic that sparks diverse opinions among church leaders. The rapid development of information technology today compels both parents and educators, within schools and churches, to provide children with sexuality education that is consistent with the teachings of God's Word. This paper, through a literature review of scholarly journals and relevant books, aims to examine the importance of sexuality education, focusing on the need to adapt it to children's developmental stages and its integration into ecclesiastical settings. Drawing from the perspective of Genesis 1:27, the goal is for children to learn to respect and honor both themselves and others, while also understanding appropriate boundaries in interpersonal relationships. Such knowledge is essential to protect children from the risk of sexual violence, which remains a critical concern.

Abstract

The transformation toward Society 5.0 presents complex challenges for Christian education in maintaining faith values while integrating technological advancement. This study analyzes the ethics of Christian teacher professionalism in the Society 5.0 era through practical theology and educational philosophy perspectives using qualitative research methods with theological hermeneutic approaches and systematic literature analysis. The research explores how Christian values can be applied in increasingly digital and connected educational contexts through examination of biblical principles, theological frameworks, and contemporary educational practices. Findings indicate that Christian teacher professionalism in the Society 5.0 era requires ethical reconstruction including: (1) technology theology centered on imago Dei as anthropological foundation, (2) transformative pedagogy based on agape love as pedagogical motivation, (3) learning communities reflecting koinonia as community model, and (4) educational service as diakonia expressing service orientation. This research contributes to developing a comprehensive ethical framework for Christian teacher professionalism that effectively responds to Society 5.0 technological challenges while preserving faith integrity and Christian educational mission, providing practical implementation strategies for educational institutions, teachers, and policymakers in the digital transformation era.
