Integrating Religious Literacy and Digital Competence in Contemporary Worldview Education

Abstract

This article critically examines the integration of religious literacy and digital competence within contemporary worldview education. Through a systematic critical synthesis of recent scholarship, this analysis identifies emerging pedagogical frameworks designed for the complex religious landscape of the 21st century. The research reveals a significant tension between traditional religious instruction and the need for new methodologies addressing digital media influences, religious pluralism, and critical thinking. Key findings indicate that effective religious education must integrate religious literacy frameworks with digital competence to foster meaningful engagement with diverse worldviews. The implications suggest a paradigm shift toward more inclusive, critical, and digitally informed religious education practices that prepare learners for pluralistic societies while maintaining respect for religious traditions.
