Abstract

The perspective and attitude of religious moderation is a necessity in the context of religious diversity, especially in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Religious diversity in NTT is a potential as well as a challenge that needs to be managed properly, especially through Christian education. The Evangelical Christian Church in Timor (GMIT), which is one of the churches in the NTT region, can play a role in supporting religious moderation education, through service to the Alpha generation. This generation is a concern because they were born in the digital era with dominant digital, social, global, mobile, and visual characters. This paper aims to offer a learning model that supports religious moderation for the Alpha generation. The method used is relevant literature research. The results offered are learning models in Christian education to form perspectives and attitudes of religious moderation for the Alpha generation. The models offered are individualized learning models, self-directed learning, collaboration, and inquiry-based learning.
