The Role of Christian Education in Exploring Worldview Implications of the Emerging Media Technology

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present postmodern cultures have embraced emerging media technology with a greater focus on the expansion of social economic spheres, largely from a modern capitalistic worldview. The Internet in particular has stimulated media production and consumption to be plentiful, speedy and innovative. In the educational context, emerging media technology has often been regarded based on three main presumptions: it is an opportunity for instructive advancement, it is a separate cultural reality, or it is ignored altogether as non-consequential vis-a-vis teaching and learning processes. Indeed, the impact of interactive media technology on shaping how one sees and interacts with the world cannot be overlooked. Nonetheless, proper attention has not yet been given to media technology in the field of Christian education. This paper draws the readers` attention to the emerging role of media technology in forming and shaping worldviews from the perspective of Christian education.
