Media Activity of Young People in the Digital Space in the Aspect of Theological Education

   In this article, the authors consider the problem of mediatization of the education in the aspect of studying the activity of subjects of educational relations within the framework of theological enlightenment.

   The purpose of the article is an attempt to comprehend the need for
theological content on the part of the professional pedagogical community and students.

   Within the framework of this study, theoretical methods have been implemented: analysis and synthesis of information, comparison and typologization, cultural method. Empirical data was collected by interviewing representatives of different age and professional groups, aimed at identifying the need for theological educational content and the relevance of media activity in this aspect. As a result of the interpretation of the theoretical and practical part of the study, the authors concluded that the content of the educational process support depends on the two-way involvement of the participants in these relations. It is impossible to introduce theological content into methods and means within the framework of teaching some humanities disciplines without an appropriate response from the audience. The introduction of the theological component into educational practice is recommended through communicative methods: conversations, discussions, constructive dialogues with representatives of various faiths. The study summarizes theoretical ideas about theological education in the context of media, and its results can also be used in the formation of the content and methodological part of the disciplines: "History of religion", "Theory of culture", "Cultural studies", "Philosophy", "Theology". Among the meaningful conclusions, the authors note the following: activity in the media space depends on the socio- cultural and historical-cultural circumstances in which the professional pedagogical community and students are located. The content and audiovisual fullness of educational theological content depends on several factors: the possibility and the need for a teacher to abstract from personal beliefs when selecting accompanying material and reproducing it within the framework of teaching the discipline. Media activity depends on the involvement of the creator of educational content in the process and one`s orientation to consumer demand.
