Education for Christian Family in the New Normalisation Era
Abstract
This study aims to identify forms of change in values and behaviour within Christian families, particularly in the roles of fathers, mothers, and children, which have shifted from the pre-pandemic period to the modern era and the postmodern era. The research method used is a qualitative approach with literature analysis, namely examining various theological, sociological, and educational literature to find patterns of change and their implications for Christian education. The results of the study show that many practices that were once considered deviant from traditional norms, such as the dominance of gadgets in family relationships, the obligation of a head of household to provide for his wife and children, or the decline in the desire to have children, are now accepted as normal.
