Abstract

This article examines the challenges, faced by religious education teachers, particularly in the context of distance learning conducted in an electronic environment. It identifies and analyses four main challenges related to distance education: 1) access to technology (computers, software, stable Internet connection, etc.); 2) increased workload and stress resulting from changes in the competency-role profile of the religion teacher; 3) digital competence of the religious education teacher; 4) digital religious literacy in religious education. The article also presents specific perspectives for addressing these challenges in online religious education.
