Abstract
Education aims to form students who are responsible and have integrity. In Christian Religion Education and the teaching of Christian values, there is a main objective to form students’ personalities in accordance with the teachings of Christ. In the post truth era, which tends to make all forms of teachings relative, the goals of education are difficult to achieve. For that we need an appropriate model and method in answering the goals of Christian Religion Education. I create a method in learning and applying Christian teachings namely the R4 (Review, Realize, Reflect, Retell) method which is based on problem based learning model, for the students of the Faculty of Theology at UKIT Tomohon in North Sulawesi. The purpose of this method is to make students understand the meaning behind the teachings of Christ, and able to apply it according to the context of the era in which they are, namely in the era of disruption or post truth. R4 (Review, Realize, Reflect, Retell) requires students to be able to review Bible verses in depth, then commit to applying it for one semester, and then reflect and make it living testimony for others. R4 is an effective implementation of education against problems to teach students to live as Christians in the post truth era. With R4, students understand the meaning of each lesson they get and at the same time achieve the goals of Christian religious education. This article is made using literature study or review of the model problem based learning, which tI hen used to develop the R4 method based on my observation as lecturer in Christian Religion Education at Faculty of Theology.
