Summary
The article comparatively examines the impact of the relationship between religion and education on moral development in early adolescence (ages 10–14) within collectivist and individualist societies. Religious faith is conceptualized as a multidimensional psychological construct shaped by the interaction of family, school, social, and digital environments. As a result, the “Four Environments – One Student” model adapted to the Azerbaijani context is proposed, balancing individualist and collectivist values.
