Godsdienstonderwijs Uitgedaagd: Jongeren En (Inter)Levensbeschouwelijke Vorming in Gezin En Onderwijs

In a time of pluralization and de-traditionalization of ways of life, religious education is a serious challenge. This holds true for religious education at home, as well as for the subject of Roman Catholic religion at school. There are many questions about experiences in today's religious education. Do young people today get a religious education? Is there a connection between attitudes towards faith and religious instruction at home? Are experiences within the family related to views on religion? Are students in religious education assisted in finding their identity? Do religious educators challenge young people to find their place in a multi-varied environment through critical thinking? Are young people able to make use of the singularity of the Christian tradition and to critically deal with other religious tradition? This publication gives an overview of the results of a survey of 98 teachers and 1416 students of Roman Catholic religion in Flanders.Pollefeyt, D. is the author of 'Godsdienstonderwijs Uitgedaagd: Jongeren En (Inter)Levensbeschouwelijke Vorming in Gezin En Onderwijs', published 2004 under ISBN 9789042914735 and ISBN 9042914734.
