Abstract

The role of Christian religious education teachers in educating Generation Z cannot be separated from the involvement of digital technology. Teachers must have adequate digital literacy when providing education to their students. However, there is a problem that the digital literacy of some Christian religious education teachers is still low. This of course will make it difficult for them when teaching generation Z students who need guidance in terms of digital literacy because generation Z is very fast following the development of digital technology, but is very vulnerable to the dangers of using digital technology. This is a challenge faced by Christian Religious Education teachers today. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the strategies of Christian religious education teachers in improving digital literacy in generation Z. This research uses descriptive qualitative research with a literature study approach. The results obtained from this study are that teachers must have strategies in improving the digital literacy of generation Z learners by following the development of digitalization, and improving pedagogical competence in relation to the use of technology, and recognizing the characteristics of generation Z. Thus, teachers can carry out their duties as educators and generation Z can be protected from the dangers of using technology. Keywords: generation Z, digital literacy, Christian religious education
