Abstract

The purpose of this article is to identify and validate skill factors in religious education in the context of virtual education for elementary school. This research was conducted qualitatively and using document analysis. Data were collected from scientific articles and sources available in reputable databases, and using qualitative content analysis methods and expert opinion evaluation, skill components in the field of religious education were identified and validated. The results of the research show that four main skills in religious education in the context of virtual education for elementary school are of particular importance: communication skills, critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and cognitive skills. These skills directly contribute to improving the quality of the religious teaching and learning process in virtual space. In particular, communication skills and criticism of religious teachings play a vital role in creating an interactive environment and increasing understanding of religious concepts among students. This research emphasizes that to improve the quality of religious education in the context of virtual education, it is necessary to strengthen teachers' digital skills and design educational content appropriate to the digital space. Also, creating interactive spaces for students and emphasizing critical and analytical skills in the religious education process effectively helps to promote the understanding and application of religious teachings.
