Abstract

The disruption of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created an epistemological paradox in theological classrooms: the acceleration of information access is inversely proportional to the depth of student contemplation. This study aims to formulate a new pedagogical model that is mathematically measurable to balance digital competence and academic integrity. The method used is mixed-method (descriptive qualitative and quantitative simulation). This study dissects the vulnerability of conventional evaluation methods to AI plagiarism, then proposes a "Hybrid Assessment" formulation with dependent variables on oral validation. Simulation calculation results show that the application of the new weight formula NA=0,2S_t+0,4S_v+0,4S_p is able to increase the academic integrity index by 40% compared to traditional methods. It is concluded that theological education must shift from product-oriented assessment to process-oriented assessment that is strictly quantified.
