Educação cristã diante do relativismo na era pós-verdade: a aplicação da metodologia ativa da aprendizagem baseada em problema como ferramenta educacional

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of post-truth on the relativization of the word of God, proposing a Christian education project based on the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology as a response to these challenges. To this end, it examines how relativism affects the understanding of Christian truth and, based on this, proposes educational strategies that strengthen a solid commitment to faith. In this context, the concept of post-truth was explored, identifying its implications for the acceptance of biblical truth. The research highlights the importance of developing a critical and theologically grounded vision through PBL, which becomes the central focus of the investigation. Adopting a bibliographical approach, the research reviews the literature on post-truth, relativism and Christian education, in addition to studying the PBL methodology. The data were analyzed based on several authors and with the analysis of biblical verses, offering a critical and grounded perspective. The work indicates that relativism can compromise spiritual formation by questioning absolute truths, generating ethical and moral disorder and weakening the commitment to the authority of Scripture. PBL, when adapted to Christian teaching, can be effective in addressing these issues, integrating biblical principles into the resolution of everyday problems. This methodology fosters the development of critical thinking, strengthens faith, and enables young people to live according to the truths of the Holy Scriptures in a world marked by uncertainty and relativism. The product of the research is a teaching project based on the book of Philippians, structured to enable participants to apply Christian principles in everyday situations, promoting an authentic and transformative Christian life. Also included is a handout for teachers to assist in the practical application of the project in the classroom.
