Religious Education: A Conceptual And Interdisciplinary Approach For Secondary Level

Religious Education: A Conceptual And Interdisciplinary Approach For Secondary Level

Synopsis

The role of Religious Education within schools has been the subject of national and international debate. This new textbook not only provides an overview and explanation of existing approaches to the subject but also explores a new perspective on RE, an approach that is non-faith based and characterised by an emphasis on conceptual enquiry, overtly interdisciplinary perspectives and clear pedagogy. Based on the Living Difference approach adopted throughout Hampshire, this new perspective on teaching RE is recognised and supported by QCA and Ofsted and is rapidly gaining support throughout the UK and internationally. The book provides tutors, students and teachers with a basis for developing their thinking about Religious Education, its place in the curriculum and an effective means for its delivery in schools. The approach to RE is placed in the larger context of education in the contemporary world, providing a historical and contemporary commentary on religious education. Throughout, theory is linked to practice through case studies that address questions of religious literacy and worldview construction within RE and are also related to other aspects of the curriculum and learners’ development. Throughout the text this interdisciplinary approach takes full account of the Every Child Matters initiative and other significant trends influencing policy and approach such as globalisation, postmodernity and multiculturalism.
