Religion and the Technology of Digitization in Education

Research output: Contribution to book/Conference proceedings/Anthology/ReportChapter in book/Anthology/ReportInvited

Abstract

This chapter approaches the theme of technologies of digitization in education from three different perspectives. First, in a descriptive and general way, to show how these developments significantly shape teaching and learning processes in the present, but especially in the future. Second, bringing in philosophical and theological considerations, how they are a genuine object of education, which has to be imparted operationally in the form of skills (functional education) or as an object of critical reflection (material education). And, third, an examination of how new, technologically supported mediation processes as well as digitalized lifeworlds in the context of a theory of education are based upon theological ideas. The options mentioned are not to be understood atomistically but represent different foci of holistic phenomena.
