Religious Education: Educating for Diversity: Key Debates in Educational Policy

Autor Dr L. Philip Barnes, Andrew Davis Editat de J. Mark Halstead
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 2015
Religious Education: Educating for Diversityraises issues that are central to the theory and practice of education, and in particular religious education, in modern liberal democracies characterized by diversity in its different forms. What kind of religious education is best equipped both to challenge prejudice and intolerance in society and to develop responsible and respectful relationships between people from different communities or with different commitments? Two eminent educators address this question and propose contrasting answers. Attention is given to the aims of education and the contribution of religious education to the curriculum; historical forms of religious education; the nature of diversity in society; the roots of prejudice; different methodologies in religious education and their philosophical and religious commitments; and to positive strategies to enable religious education to realise its potential and contribute to the social and moral aims of liberal education.

Recenzii

It is not difficult to agree that religious diversity should impact educational policy, especially in respect of religious education, but it is much more difficult to reach agreement on the nature of this impact. Acknowledging diversity about educational approaches to religious diversity is as important as acknowledging religious diversity itself. Putting Barnes, Davis and Halstead side-by-side is an excellent method for displaying the importance of this debate.
