Whitworth, Linda. "Engaging Phronesis : religious education with primary initial teacher education students." Thesis, Middlesex University, 2018. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/23887/.

Abstract:
This thesis considers the initial teacher education of non-specialist primary undergraduate student teachers in teaching Religious Education. The focus of the research is a short module taught in the second year of the students’ degree course, which prepares students to teach in predominantly multicultural classrooms in London. The module adopts an Interpretive Approach to Religious Education, which contributes to a realignment of the students’ conceptualisation of knowledge through examination of the concepts of episteme and phronesis. Findings show that overt acknowledgement of the student teachers’ developing professional understandings, situated in decisions which reference values as well as subject knowledge, can alter their understanding and confidence about teaching Religious Education and indicates wider benefit in their appreciation of their developing teacher personae. The Structure of the Research Chapter 1 is a contextual introduction which presents a series of lenses through which to view the Religious Education module. Chapter 2 is an exploration of three main ideas which influenced the research: the Interpretive Approach to RE, the concept of phronesis, and the benefits to understanding pedagogy through self-study in teacher education. Chapter 3 explains the methodological thinking behind the research, ethical considerations and the methods employed. These include practitioner research, use of ethnographic and reflexive lenses and analysis of data from both students and personal reflection through self-study. Chapter 4 reports the findings from the research carried out with students, exploring the ideas which emerge from their responses to the module and my observations and interviews which illuminate ideas which emerge from the analysis. Chapter 5 is a discussion of the content and development of the module itself, exploring the impact and development of activities which influence the students’ understanding of RE. Chapter 6 draws together the threads of the research to explore the vision of a transformative ITE RE module, which recognises the value of acknowledging and developing phronesis in primary non-specialist student teacher education and concludes with recommendations to improve the current situation in RE in primary ITE.

Abstract:
The study has investigated teacher leadership and its importance in the subject of religious studies at upper secondary school in Sweden. The study investigates how teachers handle and counteract conflicts and prejudices within the subject of religion and what challenges exist. A qualitative method has been applied in the thesis, this to interpret and analyze the results of the survey study. A social constructivist theory has been used as a theoretical framework. The study shows that teacher leadership is of great importance for the profession as well as the subject of religious studies. Leadership is adapted in relation to, among other things, student groups and teaching subjects. The teachers involved in the study believe that they have good leadership, despite the lack of leadership training within the framework of their teacher education. The results show that unmotivated pupils, prejudices and ignorance are key challenges in the subject of religious studies at upper secondary level in Sweden. According to the teachers, the challenges are met with an open approach as well as fact-based discussions to counter prejudice and oppression.

Abd-El-Hafez, Alaa Karem. "Alternative-specific and Case-specific Factors Involved in the Decisions of Islamic School Teachers Affecting Teacher Retention| A Discrete Choice Experiment." Thesis, Long Island University, C. W. Post Center, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10032305.

Abstract:

Teacher retention is a concern in all educational sectors in America. It is of special importance to Islamic schools, which tend to lack the resources necessary in recruiting and training new teachers. This dissertation addressed this problem in full-time Islamic schools in New York State by conducting a discrete choice experiment, which reflects an innovative, interdisciplinary, new methodological approach borrowed primarily from the fields of economics, social psychology, and decision theory. This approach re-conceptualized teacher retention as a series of decisions or discrete choices made throughout a teacher's career (as suggested by human capital theory) and has not been employed in this manner previously in educational research on teacher retention. This new approach offered additional insights in this important area of educational research, theory, and practice. This study examined the effects of six position-related characteristics in the discrete choice experiment: (a) opportunities to practice Islam, (b) work environment, (c) amount of work, (d) salary, (e) prestige, and (f) health benefits on the decisions of teachers in Islamic schools to continue teaching in those schools. The study also determined how the subjects’ characteristics (case-specific attributes) interacted with these position-related characteristics (alternative-specific attributes). All six alternative-specific attributes were found to be important to a certain extent, but their levels of influence varied across three preference profiles. Generally, the single most important factor affecting teacher retention in Islamic schools is the work environment of the school followed by the presence of opportunities to practice the Islamic faith. Contrary to the common belief, salary (and prestige) had the least impact on retaining Islamic school teachers.

Abstract:
Religious education involves learning about religion and the possibility of having religious experiences. Although measuring religious knowledge can be fairly straightforward, assessing whether students are having religious experiences can be more difficult. The purpose of this self-study is to develop clearer understanding of the interactions that might enable my students' religious experiences and how I might recognize when such experiences are occurring. I have written 10 narratives describing situations in which I believed students in my seminary had religious experiences. I interviewed those students to better understand their side of the narrative, and then used the Listening Guide to analyze the narratives and find whether and in what ways I was able to tell when a student was having religious experiences in my classroom. Four plotlines emerged from the data, which centered on what the student was doing to prepare for religious experiences. These ranged from simple attendance and participation to extensive outside seeking and preparation. Regarding my involvement in these experiences as a teacher, I found that common elements across the plotlines included taking time to know students and attending to intuitions about their needs. Implications of the present study are explored for both religious educators and teachers in other content areas who might be interested in helping students move beyond content knowledge toward meaningful engagement with a discipline.

Abstract:
2008 saw the implementation of a new Ethics and Religious Culture program in Québec classrooms. This program replaces the former religious and moral instruction courses and has the potential for being ground-breaking and transformative. In order to teach this program teachers are required to adopt a professional stance of objectivity and impartiality. Although a beginning exploration, this thesis demonstrates that cultural norms of Whiteness are impeding the successful implementation of the new ERC program. The majority of pre-service teachers are white, Christian and female who are unaware of privilege and who enter teaching with the objective to civilizing their students. Observations of and discussions with both pre-service and classroom teachers indicate a dialogue has begun and that more self-examination and critical reflection is necessary before this program can experience success.
En 2008, dans les écoles du Québec, on a mis en œuvre un nouveau programme d'éthique et de culture religieuse. Ce programme vient remplacer les anciens cours d'instruction religieuse et morale et pourrait être innovateur et transformateur. Il est requis que les enseignants qui enseigneront ce cours adoptent une attitude d'objectivité et d'impartialité.Bien que cette thèse ne soit qu'un début d'exploration, elle prouve que les normes culturelles de la blancheur nuisent au succès de la mise en œuvre du nouveau programme ÉCR. La plupart des professeurs qui ont l'intention d'enseigner le cours sont caucasiennes, chrétiennes et des femmes, qui ne sont pas conscientes des privilèges et se lancent dans l'enseignement dans le but de civiliser leurs élèves.L'observation des enseignants et enseignantes avant qu'ils ne commencent leur carrière et en cours de route, ainsi que les discussions avec eux et elles, indiquent qu'un dialogue a été amorcé et que plus de prise de conscience de soi et de réflexion critique seront nécessaires avant que ce programme ne puisse réussir.

Abstract:

There has been very limited research on the possible role religion has in its influence on teacher choices, especially within a Social Science classroom. The purpose of this study was to examine how secondary Social Studies teachers explicitly and implicitly treat religion as a factor in the teaching of history and how their own affinity with/to a religion and beliefs about religious institutions influence their curricular choices. The following research question informed the study: How are teachers’ religious identities, affinities and positionality revealed in their curricular choices?

Through the use of the multiple case study model using interviews, observations and artifacts, this dissertation examined how secondary Social Studies teachers explicitly and implicitly treat religion as a factor in the teaching of history and how their own affinity with/to a religion and beliefs about religious institutions influence their curricular choices. Using the lenses of positionality and presence, while explicitly being aware of American Civil Religion, religious hierarchies and Christian Privilege, this study examined two Atheist/Agnostic teachers in a comprehensive urban high school settings.

The findings are presented as single case studies with a cross case analysis. The analysis of findings found that both teachers did not include religion as a significant factor of history and therefore, did not privilege religion as a topic in their classes. The data showed that both teachers, despite their religious identifications, had internalized Civil American Religion and its alignment with Christianity.

Thesis, The George Washington University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3687139.

Full text
Abstract:

The purpose of this exploratory research study was to investigate leadership experiences of teacher leaders in American PK-12 Christian schools. An overarching research question guided the study: How do principal-identified teacher leaders in PK-12 faith-based Christian schools experience leadership in a distributed leadership environment, as told from the teacher leaders' perspectives? As researcher, I chose a distributed leadership practice conceptual framework as the lens for the research study. The literature review focused on three areas: (a) Christian school structure and culture, (b) teacher leaders, and (c) distributed leadership. The research design consisted of purposeful sampling using semistructured interviews and a constructivist epistemology (Merriam, 2009). The research study involved 24 participants from PK-12 American Christian schools; 16 were principal-identified teacher leaders and 8 were heads of school or principals. Through the data analysis, six intangible themes emerged from the teacher leaders that proved to be central tenets of the research. The emergent themes constituted (a) an unconditional love for the school community, (b) a global school perspective, (c) an influencer, (d) a leader by example, (e) a mentor to other teachers, and (f) a desire to improve their schools. Then, using a comparative analysis, four themes emerged from the heads of school and principals. The themes converged with those of the teacher leaders, with two exceptions. First, a dichotomy occurred in the definition of teacher leader among the teacher leader participants; respectively, this dichotomy occurred between the teacher leader participants and the heads of school and principal participants. Second, with regard to human capital, a talent management and leadership succession theme for identifying and developing teacher leaders emerged from the heads of school and principals. Interestingly, the data analysis revealed that the study's findings have implications for PK-12 public and private schools in theory, practice, and policy.

Solomon, Rebecca M. "The impact of parent communications and expectations on teacher practices in private Jewish day schools." Thesis, Florida Atlantic University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3585014.

Full text
Abstract:

This mixed methods study investigated teacher, parent, and school leader perceptions of the impact of parent communications and expectation on teacher practices, focusing specifically on four categories: grading, communication, instructional, and curriculum practices. Quantitative data were collected through online surveys from 25 teachers in second through fifth grades, as well as 96 parents of second through fifth-graders, in five private Jewish day schools located in the Southeastern United States. Qualitative data were collected from ten teachers, ten parents, and three school leaders who provided interviews, where they elaborated on the nature of parental communications and expectations at their own schools and their perceptions of their impact on teacher practices.

The findings indicated that parent communications take place with high frequency, and are initiated fairly evenly between parents and teachers. Parents and teachers differ on their perceptions of negativity of communications, with teachers reporting more negative communications than parents. A t-test was conducted on the survey items that corresponded with the four categories to compare parent and teacher responses. There were some statistically significant differences in the perceptions of parents and teachers of the impact of particular types of parent communications on teacher practices in private Jewish day schools. These included requests for reviews of a child's grade or a grade change, as well as requests for changes in the content of homework. However, the qualitative data overwhelmingly indicated that parents and teachers have similar perceptions of the impact of parents communications and expectations. They felt that parents occasionally request certain changes, but that these changes have minimal impact in the classroom, outside of isolated, individual events. The school leaders who participated in the study agreed that, for the most part, the day-to-day practices of teachers were not greatly impacted by parent communications.

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to: 1) establish reasons for the introduction of Competenceand Standards-based Initial Teacher Training (ITT) in England and Wales; 2) assess the impact ofCompetences and Standards on Secondary RE ITT; 3) offer proposals for a new 'multidimensional' RE ITT paradigm. The thesis is structured around four research questions. The first research question: Why were Competences and Standards introduced into the lIT process? informs a historical inquiry into the origins of Competences and Standards in Part 1. The second and third research questions: To what extent do documents such as 9/92 and 4/98 represent idealized models of teacher training and assessment? and How do Ofsted inspectors interpret ITT Competences and Standards in practice?, are considered in Part 2, where DfEE Circulars 9/92, 4/98 and other ITT inspection-related materials are analyzed and critiqued. The fourth research question: Can Standards be successfully integrated into ITT structures that seek to develop personal and professional qualities that lie far beyond the mechanical acquisition of depersonalized and decontextualized skills, behaviours and knowledge? leads in Part 3 to the presentation of proposals for new Secondary RE ITT structures. After outlining the salient features of these proposed ITT structures, possible barriers to their successful implementation are considered.

Full text
Abstract:

In order to effectively teach students how to critically consume media it is paramount for teachers to be media literate (Ian & Temur, 2012; Keller-Raber, 1995; Schmidt, 2012). Using Freirean critical literacy as a theoretical framework, this case study investigated how a 60-hour teacher training program in media literacy promoting Catholic Social Teaching and how undergoing this training has influenced teachers’ perceptions of media literacy, Catholic Social Teaching, and the link between the two. As the researcher, I performed participant-observation as a trainee in the program. Five teachers, alumni of the program, participated in this study: one middle school teacher, three high-school teachers, and one college professor, all of them taught at Christian private schools. I recorded how participants applied the Media Mindfulness—a faith based media literacy strategy—in their practice as a response to the Church’s call for Catholic teachers to engage in media education (Benedict XVI, 2008; John Paul II, 1987, 1990, 1992, 2005). Findings show how the Media Mindfulness method helped teachers integrate media literacy in their practice, promoting student empowerment and character education. A follow up action research at a Catholic high school where teachers are trained in Media Mindfulness is recommended to find out: a) how the training influenced teachers’ confidence in integrating media education into their practice? b) to what extent students’ assimilation of Catholic Social Teaching concepts resulted from the teacher training program? c) and how training teachers in the media mindfulness model influenced the school’s culture in addressing social justice issues?

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research focuses on teacher-learning for religious and cultural diversity. The background to the study is associated with curriculum reforms in South Africa since democratization in 1994 and the growing interest globally in the integration of Citizenship education and Religion education. In South Africa, the new national curricula after 1994 introduced Life Orientation as a learning area / subject which includes Citizenship education with Religion education as key focus areas. The outcomes associated with these focus areas require school-based learners to demonstrate knowledge of diversity, co-operative and communicative forms of democracy and commitment to the values espoused in The Constitution. The question that arises in relation to the professional development of teachers in this regard, concerns whether teachers have the professional knowledge base to ensure that their learners acquire the knowledge and skills to enable them to participate as competent citizens in a pluralist democracy. Consequently the large-scale transmissionist approaches to teacher development that have dominated INSET programmes have been critiqued in this study for being inadequate for learning the complexities associated with diversity, citizenship and democracy. This study has hence advocated for teacher-learning through participation in communities of practice which arguably provide appropriate learning conditions in which dialogue and critical reflection characterise the interaction between teachers. On the grounds that South Africa’s social-political history enforced the segregation of racial groups and privileged Christianity above other religions or beliefs, a further argument is related to how this history has influenced teachers’ frames of reference and whether teachers’ frames of reference continue to influence how Citizenship education is approached in the classroom. Hence, the theoretical framework for this study has been formulated to address the issue of teacher-learning for Citizenship education and Religion education (Citizenship education/Religion education) and the extent to which the frames of reference of teachers influence their approaches to democracy, values, citizenship and diversity. To this end two learning theory perspectives have been explored, viz. Mezirow’s transformative learning theory (1991, 2000) and communities of practice, as conceptualised by Wenger (1998, 2006b). The efficacy of the communities of practice concept for teacher-learning for diversity was investigated against a transformative learning theory background, using a mixed methods approach. A cross-sectional survey was conducted amongst 60 secondary schools in the Gauteng province, followed by a phase of participatory action research (PAR) with three teachers over a period of approximately eight months. The survey questionnaire was designed to determine the perspectives of a sample of Life Orientation teachers towards learning and teaching religious and cultural diversity in Life Orientation. The findings were used to inform the action research process which in turn drew attention to the significance of the community of practice concept for assisting teachers to generate content knowledge for Citizenship education/Religion education from an inclusive and constructivist perspective. The findings of the survey questionnaire indicated that the majority of the teachers in the sample were not opposed to including religious diversity in their Life Orientation classes despite not having backgrounds in Religious Studies or meaningful in-service training. The PAR findings indicate the value of engagement by teachers in a community of practice for creating and acquiring appropriate content knowledge and for critical reflection on the meaning and application of democratic and personal values for Citizenship education/Religion education.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsingsprojek fokus op onderwyser-leer ter bevordering van religieuse en kulturele diversiteit. Die agtergrond van hierdie studie is enersyds kurrikulumhervorming in Suid-Afrika sedert demokratisering in 1994 en andersyds die groeiende, wêreldwye belangstelling in die integrasie van Burgerskapopvoeding (Citizenship Education) en Religieuse-onderrig (Religion Education). Lewensoriëntering as ‘n leerarea/vak wat Burgerskapopvoeding en Religieuse-onderrig as primêre fokus insluit, is na 1994 as deel van die nuwe nasionale kurrikulum in Suid-Afrika bekendgestel. Die leeruitkomste van hierdie fokus vereis dat leerders kennis moet demonstreer rakende: diversiteit, samewerkende- en kommunikatiewe vorms van demokrasie en die verbintenis tot die waardes soos in die Grondwet vervat. Die vraag word gestel of die professionele ontwikkeling van onderwysers die nodige professionele kennisbasis bied wat kan verseker dat leerders wel kennis en vaardighede verwerf wat hulle in staat sal stel om bevoegde burgers te wees om aan ‘n pluralistiese demokrasie deel te neem. In hierdie studie word die transmissionistiese benaderings (transmissionist approaches) wat die indiensonderwysersopleiding (INSET) gedomineer het, krities ondersoek en bevraagteken ook hierdie benadering vir die onderrig-leer van kompleksiteite soos diversiteit, burgerskap en demokrasie. In hierdie studie word onderwyser-leer by wyse van deelname aan “gemeenskappe van praktyk” (communities of practice) onderskryf hoofsaaklik weens die moontlikhede wat hierdie benadering bied om gepaste leeromstandighede te skep waar onderwysers se interaksie deur dialoog en kritiese refleksie en terugskouing gekenmerk word. In die lig van Suid-Afrika se sosio-politiese geskiedenis waartydens die segregasie van rassegroepe afgedwing is en Christendom bo ander religieë of geloofsoortuigings bevoorreg was, word kritiese argumente gevoer rondom die invloed van hierdie geskiedenis op onderwysers se verwysingsraamwerke en hoe hierdie betrokke verwysingsraamwerke onderwysers se benadering tot Burgerskapopvoeding beïnvloed het. In die teoretiese raamwerk van hierdie studie word die grondliggende kwessies en diskoerse van onderwyser-leer vir Burgerskapopvoeding en Religieuse-onderrig (Burgerskapopvoeding/ Religieuse-onderrig) ondersoek asook die mate waarop die verwysingsraamwerke van onderwysers hulle onderrigbenaderinge tot demokrasie, waardes, burgerskap en diversiteit beïnvloed het. Die twee leerteorieë en perspektiewe van Mezirow se Transformatiewe Leerteorie (1991, 2000) en “gemeenskappe van praktyk”, soos deur Wenger (1998, 2006b) gekonseptualiseer is, word as vertrekpunte geneem. Die effektiwiteit van die konsep “gemeenskappe van praktyk” vir onderwys-leer in belang van diversiteit, word ondersoek teen die agtergrond van ‘n transformatiewe leerteorie deur gebruik te maak van ‘n gemengde-metodesbenadering (mixed methods approach). ‘n Deursnee-opname is aan 60 sekondêre skole in die Gauteng provinsie gedoen, gevolg deur ‘n fase van Deelnemende-Aksienavorsing met drie onderwysers oor ‘n tydperk van ongeveer agt maande. Die vraelys vir die opname is sodanig ontwerp dat ‘n steekproef Lewensoriënteringonderwysers se perspektiewe van onderrig-leer van religieuse en kulturele diversiteit in Lewensoriëntering bepaal kon word. Hierdie bevindinge is vir die aksienavorsingsfase gebruik wat die aandag gefokus het op die belangrikheid van “gemeenskappe van praktyk” as ‘n konsep wat onderwysers kan help om inhoudskennis vir Burgerskapopvoeding/Religieuse-onderrig vanuit ‘n inklusiewe en konstruktiewe benadering te genereer. Die bevindinge van die vraelysopname toon dat die meerderheid van die onderwysers, wat deel was van die steekproef, nie gekant is teen die insluiting van religieuse diversiteit in Lewensoriënteringsklasse nie ten spyte van die feit dat hulle geen agtergrond in Religieuse-onderrig of enige ander betekenisvolle indiensopleiding ontvang het nie. Die bevindings van die Deelnemende– Aksienavorsingsproses bewys die waarde van onderwyserbetrokkenheid in “gemeenskappe van praktyk” om inhoudskennis te verwerf en krities na te dink oor die betekenis en toepassings van demokratiese en persoonlike waardes vir Burgerskapopvoeding/Religieuse-onderrig.

Full text
Abstract:

Educational reforms have created a climate of accountability and high academic pressure that has resulted in a pushing down of the curriculum into early childhood education. Once a prominent pedagogical feature, play is disappearing from kindergarten. The following is a doctoral dissertation that studied administrator, teacher, and parent perceptions of play and its role within the kindergarten curriculum at a Catholic elementary school in the Los Angeles Archdiocese. Using a qualitative case study method, the study noted how play was utilized in transitional kindergarten and traditional kindergarten classrooms at the school site. Interviews, classroom observations, and document review of school publications contributed to the following findings: play was used as a reward for classroom management, adults did not commonly see the connection between play and learning, and academic achievement was valued over play. These findings were placed in the larger context of kindergarten, play, and curriculum by using a theoretical framework built on Early Child Education theories and Epstein’s (2011) Parental Involvement framework. This case study highlighted factors that influenced curriculum design and implementation in kindergarten. It contributes to the effort to inform parents, teachers, administrators, and policy makers of the importance of defending play within kindergarten in light of social pressures that favor a didactic kindergarten setting.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the question of what religious education should aim to achieve in the public sphere, and from that comes an interest in what is it that the teacher of religious education should aim to do. My enquiry is located, theoretically as well as conceptually, in the sphere of education. It is an educational study into religious education and situated in what can be termed a ‘Continental construction’ of educational research. I identify that since the inception of religious education in public schools in England, persistent assumptions have been made about both religion and education. I show how this has led, in my view, to conceptualisations of religious education which have been, and continue to be, incomplete. The central chapters of my thesis consider first religion and then education. This allows me to introduce my theoretical base, which is especially but not exclusively drawn from the work of Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt. I develop an argument suggesting that by also understanding religion existentially as faith, rather than as only belief or practice, will open new ways of considering the role of religious education in the public sphere. This is alongside an argument I develop with Arendt for education being conceptualised as bringing the child to action rather than to reason. This thesis argues for a broader understanding of religion, and therefore what it means to live a religious life, in religious education than has previously been considered. I bring this broader way of understanding what it means to live a religious life together with my argument for conceptualising education as bringing the child to action. This enables me to make a new proposal for what religious education should aim to achieve in the public sphere.

Thesis, University of Exeter, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/16567.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis reports the findings of a research study conducted in an initial primary teacher education college in Dublin, exploring how teacher education students experienced and constructed meaning from a pre-service RE course which recognized the importance of a focus on their inner lives. The study, which adopted a qualitative interpretive approach, was conducted using semi-structured interviews with twelve past students from a recently-graduated year group of one hundred students. The study hoped to uncover how a focus on the inner life was taken up by the research participants in relation to their personal and professional wellbeing and their role as educators in general and religious educators in particular. While it did not seek to generalise as a result of the findings, confined as it is by time and circumstance, nevertheless aspects deemed worthwhile by the research participants may also be deemed worthwhile by the reader and indeed may not be confined to the domain of RE. The findings have been framed generally against the three themes of ‘particularity’, ‘inner-ness’ and ‘ongoing-ness’. The theme of ‘particularity’ relates to the participants’ epistemological journey, as it is concerned with how concrete elements of the course supported inner life work. The theme of ‘inner-ness’ relates to the participants’ ontological journey, as it is concerned with how participants experienced and made meaning from the space provided by the course for inner life work. The theme of ‘ongoingness’ relates to the total RE journey from primary and secondary school to college and into their teaching lives and its impact on participants’ inner lives. What is clear from participants’ responses is that the RE course, and particularly the elements of the RE course that had a focus on the inner life, had a significant impact on participants’ identity, both personal and professional, at an important stage of their development and personal story. The study demonstrates the importance of inner life work for teacher education students and contributes a level of insight into how students appropriate and construct meaning from a created and creative space that supports a focus on that inner life.

Abstract:
The study collected information about training practices in local churches of the United Brethren in Christ. A mailed questionnaire was used to collect data from 230 churches nationwide. The instrument contained 22 questions, divided into three sections: (a) teacher involvement in religious education, (b) teacher training, and (c) demographic information. The return rate was 65.7% (151 surveys). Frequency counts and percentages were obtained. Data were summarized in table and narrative form. Cross-tabulations were completed between selected demographic variables and the provision for teacher training.Selected findings included: (a) among 15 possible religious education activities, at least two-thirds of the churches reported using teachers in five of them; (b) over half of the churches (51%) provided some form of training; (c) among those providing some form of training the scope was limited; (d) difficulty in scheduling and lack of fiscal resources were identified as the greatest obstacles to training; (e) training was more common in churches with larger attendance figures for worship and Sunday school.The following conclusions were formulated: (a) the extent to which teachers were used in religious education activities was affected by the scope of programs offered; (b) in the absence of a mandate for training, scheduling and scarce resources were negative factors; (c) even in churches conducting training, the activity was not a high priority; (d) reliance on consultants and conferences reflected the fact that churches did not conduct theirfor pastors to require training; and, (f) training occurred more often in larger churches where adequate resources and formal approaches to programming were common.Six recommendations were presented: (a) the denomination should develop and disseminate a position on teacher training; (b) pastors should be exposed to educational programs stressing the importance of training teachers; (c) the denomination should formulate and make available more programs and materials to support training; (d) the issue of effectiveness of training programs should be examined; (e) research on the selection, supervision, retention, and evaluation of teachers should be conducted.own training; (e) using volunteers made it more difficult

Abstract:
Abstract The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore perceptions of loss and grief experiences within religious rites and rituals vis-à-vis the context of counseling. Literature indicated the need for a better understanding of grief and loss experiences from bereaved individuals’ perspectives and the context within which loss and grief experiences occur (Dillenburger & Keenan, 2005; Stroebe, Hansson, Schut, & Stroebe, 2008). Participants for this study included 10 purposefully selected Catholic members from two Catholic Church parishes in Nigeria, Africa. All participants had experienced loss and grief, had participated in Catholic burial and funeral rites and rituals, and were 21 years or older. The main research question was: How do bereaved individuals perceive their grief experiences within the context of Catholic burial and funeral rites and rituals? Data collected to answer the research questions consisted of observations, semi-structured interviews, and documents. A cross-analysis approach was used that identified 63 themes, which were collapsed into 11 major themes. depicted in three areas; bereaved participants’ grief experiences, bereaved participants’ experiences of rites and rituals, and implications for counseling. The findings of this study indicated that loss of a relationship was a dominant preoccupation in grief and grieving process. Additional themes reflected by bereaved individuals’ grief and grieving experiences were; time and nature of death, religious rites and rituals, family and community support, family frictions, financial stressors, positive memories, belief system, finding meaning, ongoing traumatization, and counseling. Overall, the conclusion from this study was that three areas conceptualize loss and grief experiences: bereaved participants’ grief experiences, bereaved participants’ experiences of rites and rituals, and implications for counseling.

Abstract:
This qualitative study aimed at exploring and explaining the practices and processes of teacher reflection among a group of professional secondary-level religious educators in the Church Educational System of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as well as seeking to understand the perceived impact of those reflective practices on the professional development of these teachers. The researcher described, analyzed, and interpreted the data to develop a mid-range grounded theory for explaining the process of teacher reflection in a way that could lead to the improvement of teacher reflection among these teachers as an integrated function of professional development. This study found that the institutional operational tools for reflection provided means for professional religious educators to engage in various kinds of reflection, but that the relationship between the various levels of reflection and the way these functioned in their professional development was not well understood or utilized by these teachers. This study concluded by offering an integrated model of teacher reflection that can help teachers and supervisors understand the process of reflection as an integral part of the teacher's professional development.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Dennis Shirley
Schools and classrooms in the United States are increasingly religiously diverse, and religion remains a deeply influential social force, locally, nationally, and globally. However, decades of misunderstanding about the constitutionally appropriate relationship between religion and public education have created a cycle of silence about religion in K-12 schools and in teacher education. As a result, public school educators are not prepared to teach about religion in the curriculum. Nor do they have the skills to respond to common challenges that arise in religiously diverse school communities. This dissertation examines four professional development courses about religious diversity to understand the motivations and experiences of the educators who participated and to explore the impacts these courses had on the educators’ teaching practices. The 145 participants in the professional development courses learned about several religious traditions through a combination of visits to religious communities, guest speakers, and classroom discussion. The mixed methods study surveyed the participants three times, once before the courses, and twice afterwards. Follow-up interviews with 13 educators were conducted approximately one year after they completed the courses. The findings reveal that educators working at all grade levels and in all content areas found valuable benefits from increasing their understanding of religion, including a greater appreciation for the religious identities of their students and increased comfort with religion when it appeared in a range of school settings. Based on my analysis, I propose a framework of Pedagogical Content Knowledge about Religion to describe five domains of knowledge and skills that are necessary for educators to be able to competently respond to religion in public schools. This framework and the findings of this study have valuable implications for the development of future professional development courses and in charting a trajectory for further research on religion in U.S. public schools

Abstract:
In recent years, staff development has received general recognition as a valuable method for improving the quality of education. Teacher centres constitute a significant forum for facilitating staff development. The purpose of this qualitative case study is to examine one such teacher centre in Montreal.
Examination of the literature on effective staff development and teacher centres resulted in an analytical framework comprising: (1) Context; (2) Organizational Structure; (3) Planning; (4) Process; and, (5) Content. This was used to organize data collected from observation, interviews, documents and a client survey.
The case study provided insight into the philosophy, purpose and organization of the centre and its staff development programmes. Additionally, the study identified methods employed by the centre to combat problems which currently face many staff development fora; namely, continued funding and maintaining client support.
The study revealed a strong relationship between the characteristics of the centre and those identified by research as effective staff development.

Abstract:
The Assembly of God Church, The Southern Baptist Convention, and the Seventh-day Adventist Church sponsor Brighton University, Collier University, and Lynwood University respectively. Each of these Christian denominations holds creationism as a tenet of the faith. Each university also operates a state approved teacher education program. A number of preservice elementary teachers at these three schools are choosing to teach in public schools where the teaching of creationism is not an option in the science curriculum. Thus, creationist institutions and instructors are training more and more preservice teachers, to teach science from an evolutionist perspective. From an examination of documents used in science and science methods classes, and through interviews with science and education professors, and former students, data was collected and analyzed. All of the professors expressed interest in the issues surrounding creationism and evolution. The science professor's concerns centered on the difficulties in harmonizing apparent discrepancies between scientific evidence and church doctrine. The education professors were content with church policy regarding creationism, and stated that they fortified creationist thinking in their science methods classes. Documents from the science and science methods classes, along with the information supplied by former students, do not show that creationism issues are being considered in science methods classes to the extent the professors thought they were. Few students were able to recall creationism, or how a creationist could teach evolutionary science, as topics given serious consideration in their science or science methods classes.

Abstract:
With the increasingly widespread adoption of online learning, education is at an important crossroads. Spirituality and character building were once an important part of formal education. In the more secular modern era, many institutions of higher learning have neglected the spiritual aspects of teaching and learning. There is increasing academic interest in the relationship between spirituality and education. At the same time, relatively little attention has been paid to how spiritual and character development can be facilitated in online courses. This study seeks to better understand the how to develop spirituality and character building more effectively in online education through three related studies. The first article explores published research related to spirituality and education. Definitions are derived for two different perspectives, a contemporary North American view, and the Brigham Young University view. A second article reports on a quantitative analysis of how spiritually strengthening and character building, both Aims of a BYU Education, were accomplished in 63 online courses taught recently at BYU from the perspective of approximately 1730 students. The third article, “Spiritual and Character Development in Online Education from the Instructors’ Perspective”, qualitatively investigates the actions of instructors to more effectively accomplish these two Aims in their online courses based on their self-reported responses to six open-ended questions. Students responded to 77 questions (using 7-point Likert Scales) related to these two Aims. Structural Equation Modeling showed four constructs as having significant influence on their spiritual and character development: genuine caring for students (by teachers), Gospel connections, instructor’s morality, and ethics in relation to the course. Twelve subfactors of social, cognitive and teacher presence, and student engagement indicated these four subfactors related to spiritual and character development. Instructors that are more intentional and explicit also utilize active learning techniques. These ask students to do more than just read about or talk about spirituality and character development. Rather, they involve students in active learning activities such as reflecting on ethics, creating personal value statements/constitutions, and setting and periodically reporting on related goals.

Abstract:
This thesis presents an ethnographic investigation of teachers’ peer-to-peer engagement in online social spaces, using the concept of teachers’ professional identity as a framework to shape and focus the study. Using Religious Education (RE) as a strong example of the wider phenomenon of teachers’ online engagement, three online social spaces (the Times Educational Supplement’s RE Forum, the National Association of Teachers of RE Facebook Page, and the Save RE Facebook Group) were investigated as case studies. A year was spent in these spaces with digital ethnographic research taking place simultaneously in each one. Data gathering primarily took the form of participant observations, in depth analysis of time-based sampled text (three 8-week samples from each space), online and offline narrative based interviews and, to a lesser extent, questionnaires, elite interviews and analysis of grey literature. The study finds that engagement in the online social spaces offered teachers opportunities to perform and construct their professional identities across a variety of topics ranging from local practical concerns to national political issues. In more practical topics the spaces could often be observed as acting as communities of practice in which professional learning took place and identities were constructed, with such online professional development influencing offline classroom practice. However, engaging across this spectrum of topics afforded users a broad conception of what it means to be a teacher, where professional identity was understood as going beyond classroom practice and integrating engagement with subject-wide, political and policy related issues at a national level. Such engagement provided many users with a feeling of belonging to a national community of peers, which, alongside political activism initiated in online interaction and meaning making debates concerning the future and identity of the subject, provided teachers with feelings of empowerment and a sense of ownership of their subject. However, the study found that teachers’ online engagement took place within structures embedded in the online social spaces that influenced and shaped engagement and the ways in which users’ professional identities were performed and constructed. These structures were linked with the design and technical affordances of the spaces, the agendas of the parent organisations that provided the spaces, and the discourses that dominated the spaces. These aspects of the spaces provided a structure that limited engagement, content and available online identity positions while additionally projecting ideal identity positions, distinctive in each space. These ideal identity positions had a constructive influence over many users who aspired to these ideals, often gaining confidence through expressing such socially validated ideals or feeling inadequate when failing to perform such ideal identity positions. Thus, this study finds a complex relationship between agency linked with active online identity performance and the constructive influence of embedded structures that contributed to the shaping of users’ engagement and their understandings of themselves as professionals and their subject.

Abstract:
Syftet med studien är att synliggöra hur lärare undervisar i etik inom religionskunskap samt att undersöka vilka utmaningar de upplever med etikundervisning. För att besvara studiens syfte har individuella intervjuer genomförts med fyra olika lärare som undervisar i årskurs 4 – 6 och som har behörighet att undervisa i religionskunskap. I studien har en kvalitativ metod använts och en sociokulturell teori har använts när resultatet har diskuterats.  Resultatet visar att lärare huvudsakligen använder fyra metoder när de undervisar i etik inom religionskunskap. Lärarna använder sig av fallbeskrivningar, fyra hörn-övningar, fiktiva land och etiska begrepp när de undervisar i etik inom religionskunskap. Det framkommer dock att lärarna i studien upplever att etiken mestadels behandlas i samband med värdegrundsfrågor. Lärarna menar att etik är något som genomsyrar hela skoldagen och att etiska samtal sker kontinuerligt i samband med exempelvis konflikter i klassen eller vid samtal om vad som händer i samhället. Resultatet visar även på de utmaningar som lärare upplever när de undervisar i etik. Lärarna upplever brist på tid, svårigheter med att bedöma eleverna i etik samt en osäkerhet när elever har etiska åsikter som strider mot skolans värdegrund.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how teachers choose to teach pupils about ethics in religion education and to examine what challenges they experience in their ethics teaching. Individual interviews on four different teachers who teach in primary schoolyears 4 – 6 and who has competence to teach in religious education were conducted to answer the purpose of the study. The study is qualitative, and the sociocultural theory has been used when discussing the result.  The result show that teachers mainly use four different strategies when they teach ethics in religious education. The teachers are using ethical cases, exercises with four corners, fictitious countries and ethical concepts when they are teaching about ethics. The result shows that the teachers in the study experience that ethics mostly is taught together with the core values. The teachers consider ethics to be something that permeate the entire school day and that conversations about ethics take place continuously when there for example are conflicts in the classroom or when talking about news in society. The result also shows the challenges teachers experience when teaching in ethics. They experience a lack of time, difficulties with assessment in ethics and an insecurity when pupils have ethical opinions that contradict the fundamental values in the Swedish curriculum.

Religious Education, regulated by Law 9.475/97, as an integral part of the basic education of citizens is a privileged locus for promotion of cultural recognition and assumption of people belonging to minorities, among them people with disabilities, because they present a long-term impairment of physical, intellectual or sensory nature, they are more susceptible to situations of exclusion. Thus, this research has as main objective to investigate the importance of the religious education teacher in special/inclusive education, from the perspective of human rights, in order to strengthen the inclusion process of students with disabilities in school. And the following objectives: contextualize the phenomenon of exclusion/inclusion of persons with disabilities in the mythical and historical time, and the exclusion is evidenced most visibly over time in socioeconomic, religious and education of such persons; present guiding documents aimed at inclusive education, religious education and human rights at the international and national level, seeking dialogue with these three areas of knowledge aiming at the reasoning of including students with disabilities in school; and outline the necessary knowledge for inclusive teaching from the perspective of human rights, with a religious education teacher profile reasoned from the Pedagogy of Autonomy. The dissertation was structured containing an introduction - Through the windows of the soul: resignifying looks! - Three chapters: (1) a glance at the time: the journey between exclusion and inclusion of people with disabilities to stand as a subject of rights; (2) a cutout on the look religious education: leaving the exclusion of proselytizing for the visibility of minorities! (3) The training of religious education teachers from the perspective of human rights: expanding the focus of the look; and the final considerations: a new look on the inclusion of disabled students in school. This study was conducted with a methodological approach as a theoretical-methodological documental and bibliographic research on special/inclusive education, religious education and human rights, always seeking to promote the interface between knowledge, and diversity as a guiding principle. Authors such as Santiago (2011), Silva (2009), Freire (1996; 2002), Holmes (2010), Souza (2013), Escarião (2009; 2013), Frankl (1991), Martins (1997) Junqueira (2009; 2011) Passos (2007) Gonsalves (2012; 2015a; 2015b) and others contributed to the theoretical framework.Because Religious Education has its National Curriculum Parameters - PCNER's grounded on the principles of citizenship, respect for diversity, tolerance in understanding the other and the relationship of human beings in their quest for the transcendent and within an epistemological and pedagogical vision to stand against situations of prejudice and intolerance, it becomes an appropriate curricular component to bring up issues related to inclusive education, since this also features respect for diversity as one of its guiding principle.The relevance of this research is to provoke reflections on the specific role that the teacher of Religious Education can play as a facilitator of inclusive education regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities in an open and pluralistic school, geared towards ensuring not only access for all students but to successfully remain in school.
O Ensino Religioso normatizado pela Lei 9.475/97, enquanto parte integrante da formação básica do cidadão é um lócus privilegiado para promoção do reconhecimento e assunção cultural das pessoas pertencentes às minorias, dentre elas, as pessoas com deficiência que, por apresentarem algum impedimento de longo prazo de natureza física, intelectual ou sensorial, são mais suscetíveis às situações de exclusão. Destarte, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral investigar a importância da formação do professor do ensino religioso em educação especial/inclusiva na perspectiva dos direitos humanos com vistas a fortalecer o processo de inclusão de alunos com deficiência na escola. Como objetivos específicos: Contextualizar o fenômeno da exclusão/inclusão da pessoa com deficiência no tempo mítico e histórico e de como a exclusão se evidencia de forma mais visível ao longo do tempo nos aspectos socioeconômicos, religiosos e educacionais dessas pessoas; apresentar documentos norteadores voltados à educação inclusiva, ensino religioso e direitos humanos em âmbito internacional e nacional, procurando dialogar com essas três áreas de conhecimento com vistas à fundamentação da inclusão do aluno com deficiência na escola e enunciar os saberes necessários para uma docência inclusiva na perspectiva dos direitos humanos, apresentando um perfil do professor do Ensino Religioso fundamentado a partir da Pedagogia da Autonomia. A dissertação foi estruturada contendo uma introdução - Através das janelas da alma: ressignificando olhares! - três capítulos: Um olhar sobre o tempo: o percurso entre a exclusão e a inclusão da pessoa com deficiência para se situar enquanto sujeito de direitos; um recorte no olhar para o ensino religioso: saindo da exclusão do proselitismo para a visibilização das minorias! A formação do professor do ensino religioso na perspectiva dos direitos humanos: ampliando o foco do olhar; e as considerações finais: um novo olhar sobre a inclusão do aluno com deficiência na escola. Este estudo foi realizado tendo como abordagem metodológica uma Pesquisa teórico-metodológica documental e bibliográfica sobre educação especial/inclusiva, ensino religioso e Direitos Humanos, procurando sempre promover a interface entre os saberes, tendo a diversidade como eixo norteador Autores como Santiago (2011), Silva (2009), Freire (1996; 2002), Holmes (2010), Souza (2013), Escarião (2009; 2013), Frankl (1991), Martins (1997) Junqueira (2009; 2011) Passos (2007) Gonsalves (2012; 2015a; 2015b) e outros contribuíram com o aporte teórico. Pelo fato do ER ter seus Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais - PCNER´s alicerçados nos princípios de cidadania, respeito à diversidade, tolerância no entendimento do outro e na relação do ser humano em sua busca pelo transcendente e dentro de uma visão epistemológica e pedagógica se posicionar contra situações de preconceito e intolerância, torna-se um componente curricular apropriado para trazer à tona questões pertinentes à educação inclusiva, uma vez que esta também possui o respeito à diversidade como um dos seus princípio norteadores. A relevância dessa pesquisa consiste em provocar reflexões sobre o papel concreto que o professor do Ensino Religioso pode desempenhar enquanto facilitador da educação inclusiva no tocante à inclusão de alunos com deficiência numa escola aberta e plural, voltada para garantir não somente o acesso de todos os alunos, mas a permanência com sucesso no ambiente escolar.

Abstract:
A constatação da necessidade da presença do Ensino Religioso na escola, como base para a formação integral do ser humano, nos provocou uma motivação para a construção desta pesquisa, que procura em uma perspectiva de investigação, através de um estudo bibliográfico, mostrar a importância da presença do Ensino Religioso, cujo objetivo principal é compreender a proposta atual do Ensino Religioso na escola e a sua importância na formação integral do ser humano. São observados os fundamentos históricos e legais do Ensino Religioso no Brasil, a partir de um breve panorama, fazendo uma leitura de textos de autores que abordam a evolução do tema na LDBEN e nas constituições brasileiras desde o início da República, onde se podem constatar as raízes históricas desse entrelaçar de interesses; logo em seguida procura entender a proposta atual para o Ensino Religioso, a partir da Constituição de 1988. A legislação comprova e apresenta na atualidade o Ensino Religioso no espaço público e laico, como disciplina facultativa. Nesta dissertação é apresentado também o resultado de uma pesquisa do mapa do Ensino Religioso no Estado da Bahia. É feita uma análise da construção do conhecimento religioso, a partir dos PCNER (Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Religioso), fazendo um paralelo dos ciclos da vida com a educação por ciclos e, da convivência com a diversidade e novas tendências procurando mostrar que a escola e o Ensino Religioso podem ser um espaço de entendimento e respeito ao outro. Também são analisados os fundamentos pedagógicos e metodológicos do Ensino Religioso em termos de currículo, formação docente e práxis.
Observing the need for the presence of Religious Education in the school as a base for the holistic formation of the human being, provoked in us a motivation for the construction of this research which seeks, through a perspective of investigation through a bibliographic study, to show the importance of the presence of Religious Education. The main goal is to understand the current proposal of Religious Education in the school and its importance for the holistic formation of the human being. The historical and legal foundations of Religious Education in Brazil are observed based on a brief panorama of the reading of texts of authors who dealt with the evolution of the theme in the LDBEN and in the Brazilian constitutions from the beginning of the Republic, where one can perceive the historical roots of this intertwining of interests; after this we seek to understand the current proposal for Religious Education based on the 1988 Constitution. The legislation proves and presents the current situation of Religious Education in the public and lay space as an optional discipline. This thesis also presents the results of a research of the map of Religious Education in the State of Bahia. An analysis is made of the construction of religious knowledge based on the PCNER (Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Religioso [National Curricular Parameters of Religious Education]), making a parallel of the life cycles with the cycles of education and, of the communal interaction with diversity and new tendencies seeking to show that the school and Religious Education can be a space of understanding and respect for the other. The pedagogical and methodological foundations of Religious Education are also analyzed in terms of curriculum, teacher training and praxis.

This descriptive study, uncritical, of a qualitative nature developed in 2007, aimed to identify and analyze how teachers of religious education in the Elementary Schools of Santos City reflect Legislation, the Educational Policy of Santos, the Plan of Course and its own basic and continuing studies on their teaching practice. Aimed specifically to analyze Legislation, religious education s concepts, empowerment and teachers education and the description of their practices and expectations. This study has focused on the research project proposed to deepen the analysis, once the Santos Educational Legislation in Article 2 states that: "Elementary School classes will be taught religious education, from 1st to 5th grade by the main teacher, and from of 6th to 9th grade, by the specific discipline teacher. Thereafter, it was made a qualitative research with teachers of Elementary School of 1 to 5 grades. Non-participantory observations were made in ten meetings of continuing education promoted in 2007 by the Education Sector (Setor de Formação - SEFORM) of the Santos Pedagogical Department (Deped). Likewise, ten teachers classes were observed and registered through video recording and photography. From this group, were made an analysis of two classes on religious symbols with one selected 3th grade teacher. The theoretical assumptions of this research go through two axes: The axis of Teacher Education within the theoretical contributions of Dewey (1959), Schön (1995, 2000), Zeichner (1992, 1993, 1995, 2003), Demo (1996, 2008), Stenhouse and Elliott (2003), Alarcão ( 1996, 2007), L. S. Shulmann (2004); Mizukami and Reali (2002, 2005) and Paulo Freire (1974, 1979, 2005). The axis of Religious Education with a focus on phenomenology that studies the sense of religious expressions in their specific context and its meaning for humans in contributions from Rudolf Otto (1992), Mircea Eliade (1992, 1998), in the National Curriculum Parameters, prepared by the Permanent National Forum of Religious Education - FONAPER (1998, 2000) and the works of Junqueira (2002, 2007), Figueiredo (1995) and Oliveira (2007).
O presente estudo descritivo, acrítico, de natureza qualitativa desenvolvido no ano de 2007 teve como objetivo identificar e analisar como os professores de Ensino Religioso do Ensino fundamental das Escolas Municipais de Santos traduzem na sua prática docente a Legislação, as Políticas Educacionais da Rede de Santos, o Plano de Curso e sua própria formação básica e continuada. Teve como objetivo específico analisar a legislação, a concepção de Ensino Religioso, a capacitação e formação de professores e a descrição das expectativas e práticas dos mesmos. O estudo fez alguns recortes na proposta investigativa do projeto para poder aprofundar as análises, uma vez que a legislação educacional do município de Santos determina no Artigo 2º que: No Ensino Fundamental as aulas de Ensino Religioso serão ministradas, do 1º ao 5º ano, pelo professor regente da classe e, do 6º ao 9º ano, pelo regente da disciplina . Logo, fez-se pesquisa qualitativa com professores do Ensino Fundamental I, do 1º ao 5º ano. Fez-se observações não-participante de dez encontros de formação continuada promovidos no ano de 2007 pelo Setor de Formação (SEFORM) do Departamento Pedagógico (DEPED) da Prefeitura Municipal de Santos. Da mesma forma observou-se e registrou-se por meio de vídeo e fotos as aulas de dez professores. Deste grupo, selecionou-se uma professora do 3º ano para análise de duas aulas sobre símbolos religiosos. Os pressupostos teóricos desta pesquisa transitam por dois eixos: o eixo da Formação de Professores dentro das contribuições teóricas de Dewey (1959), Schön (1995, 2000), Zeichner (1992, 1993, 1995, 2003), Demo (1996, 2008), Stenhouse e Elliott (2003), Alarcão (1996, 2007), L. S. Shulmann (2004), Mizukami e Reali (2002, 2005) e Paulo Freire (1974, 1979, 2005). O eixo do Ensino Religioso com enfoque na fenomenologia que estuda o sentido das expressões religiosas no seu contexto específico e sua significação para o ser humano nas contribuições de Rudolf Otto (1992), Mircea Eliade (1992, 1998), nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais elaborados pelo Fórum Nacional Permanente do Ensino Religioso FONAPER (1998, 2000) e nas obras de Junqueira (2002, 2007), Figueiredo (1995) e Oliveira (2007).

Abstract:
In 2010 the Texas Education Agency adopted newly rewritten curriculum standards for the state's social studies courses K-12. The period leading up to the adoption of the standards proved contentious as the new standards moved out of the writing committees and into the public realm. The issues brought forth from initial readings of the standards appeared in the national spotlight as educators and the general public from around the country voiced their concerns. Many concerns centered on the belief that the Texas State Board of Education had rewritten the standards to reflect a more politically conservative world view along with an emphasis on traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs. Members of the state board argued that the previous standards reflected a politically liberal world view and that the board needed to bring balance to the standards. Because of national criticism changes were made but on a limited scale. The purpose of this study was to assess if the rewritten standards demonstrated a politically conservative preference as well as an emphasis on Judeo-Christian beliefs. During the analysis I included information regarding a preference for capitalism, a focus on Texas and U.S. history while minimizing world history and a focus on memorization rather than critical thinking. The analysis revealed that the rewritten standards demonstrate a politically conservative leaning while promoting traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs. Analysis and research further revealed that the standards promote capitalism while limiting the study of other economic systems in the world. In regards to the preference for Texas and U.S. history versus world history my analysis confirmed a limited presence of world history; however, research also revealed that this issue is not limited to the state of Texas, but a number of other states in the U.S. Finally, my analysis demonstrated that many of the standards' objectives begin with verbs found on verb lists from Bloom's Taxonomy. By using Bloom's Taxonomy I learned that a majority of objectives throughout the K-12 standards operate in the lower half of the Taxonomy rather than the upper half meaning that there is an emphasis on lower order thinking skills rather than higher order thinking skills.

It is noted that the proposed theme has not been sufficiently studied by the Education Science. There is a lack of corresponding teaching degree courses showing the challenging and urgent character of a reflection on the training of Religious Education teachers. This study aims to analyze teachers’ training paradigms that permeate the course of Science of Religion at Unimontes, in order to understand the concepts that underlie the pedagogical proposals in the period of 2001 to 2012. This is a qualitative research with an exploratory study of documentary nature in order to describe the history of the Science of Religion course at Unimontes through the analysis of the Pedagogic Political Project (PPP) elaborated from 2001 to 2012 and official minutes which are part of the educational practices instrumentalized by bibliographic and field researches. The field research used a semi-structured interview which had the participation of 21 professors and 4 coordinators who work or have already worked in the course during this period. In the quantitative data analysis we used the statistical program (Statistical Package for Social Sciences - SPSS) 17.00 for Windows and qualitative data analysis was performed through content analysis technique based on Bardin (2004). The data revealed the importance of the Science of Religion course in an attempt to break solidified paradigms and propose new places and ways of thinking and studying religion. It was also found that the way the PPPs are organized, they emphasize the deepening of specific knowledge of the area, leaving the teacher training under the responsibility of few pedagogical subjects. However, there is an attempt to invest in teacher training to meet the challenge of enabling the professional of Science of Religion, having Science of Religion as a reference area, so the formation of these teachers is still a challenge for educational institutions. This study may give social contribution by showing paths for initial training of RE teachers mainly at Unimontes
A temática proposta nesta tese representa um tema que ainda não foi suficientemente estudado pela Ciência da Educação. Faltam cursos de licenciatura correspondentes, e isso mostra o caráter desafiador e urgente de uma reflexão sobre a formação dos professores de Ensino Religioso. Este estudo objetiva analisar os paradigmas de formação docente que permeia o curso de Ciências da Religião da Unimontes, para compreender as concepções que fundamentaram as propostas pedagógicas, no período de 2001 a 2012. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, realizada por meio de estudo exploratório, de cunho documental, de forma a descrever o histórico do Curso de Ciências da Religião na Unimontes pela análise dos Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos produzidos no período de 2001 a 2012, e atas oficiais, que constituem parte integrante das práticas educacionais instrumentalizadas por pesquisas bibliográficas e de campo. A pesquisa de campo utilizou-se de uma entrevista semiestruturada, da qual participaram 21 professores e 4 coordenadores que trabalham ou já trabalharam no curso durante esse período. Na análise dos dados quantitativos, utilizou-se o programa estatístico (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences – SPSS) 17.00, para Windows, e a análise dos dados qualitativos foi realizada através da técnica de análise de conteúdo, fundamentado em Bardin (2004). Os dados revelaram a importância do Curso de Ciências da Religião na tentativa de romper paradigmas solidificados e propor novos locais e formas de se pensar e estudar religião. Constatou-se, também, que os PPPs da forma como estão organizados enfatizam o aprofundamento do saber específico da área, ficando a formação do licenciando sob a responsabilidade de poucas disciplinas pedagógicas. Entretanto, percebe-se uma tentativa de investir na licenciatura para responder ao desafio de habilitar o profissional do Ensino Religioso, tendo a Ciência da Religião como área de referência; portanto, a formação desses professores ainda é desafio para instituições formadoras. O estudo poderá dar sua contribuição social ao apontar caminhos para uma formação inicial de professores de ER, principalmente no âmbito da Unimontes

Objeto de estudo desta pesquisa à o Ensino Religioso [ER] e a formaÃÃo de seus docentes no Brasil e na Alemanha. Objetivou-se avaliar o Ensino Religioso interreligioso e a formaÃÃo dos seus docentes no Brasil e comparÃ-lo com a concepÃÃo da aprendizagem interreligiosa no ER alemÃo. O trabalho estrutura-se conforme o tripà metodolÃgico do ver-julgarâagir ao que corresponde as trÃs partes principais com dois capÃtulos cada qual, seguindo o mÃtodo hermenÃutico. Na primeira parte avaliam-se os contextos sÃcio-cultural, jurÃdico e epistemolÃgico do ER no Brasil. Adota-se um conceito de pÃsmodernidade positivo, nÃo como âdepois da modernidadeâ ou atà âanti-modernidadeâ. No sentido de uma crÃtica radicalizada à racionalidade moderna pressupÃe-se uma continuidade dialÃtica entre modernidade e pÃsmodernidade. A avaliaÃÃo do contexto epistemolÃgico do ER leva à conclusÃo de que um ER baseado nas CiÃncias da ReligiÃo com suas pretensÃes de neutralidade cientÃfica insere-se numa postura moderna e nÃo parece apto para preparar os alunos para uma leitura adequada do fenÃmeno religioso pÃs-moderno. Opta-se, portanto, por um novo ER aqui denominado de âinterteolÃgicoâ, contudo, essencialmente interreligioso e interdisciplinar. Para sua realizaÃÃo sugere-se a formaÃÃo de um colegiado constituÃdo por membros de diversas tradiÃÃes religiosas e representantes de diversas disciplinas das CiÃncias da ReligiÃo. A segunda parte do trabalho avalia a formaÃÃo dos docentes de ER em Fortaleza comparando-o com a concepÃÃo da aprendizagem interreligiosa na Alemanha. Conclui-se que a formaÃÃo dos docentes de Ensino Religioso em Fortaleza corresponde Ãs exigÃncias de uma boa formaÃÃo de professores em geral, mas com lacunas no que diz respeito aos aspectos da interreligiosidade e interdisciplinaridade. Em consequÃncia dessa constataÃÃo elabora-se, na terceira parte do trabalho, uma base teÃrica e matriz curricular de formaÃÃo dos docentes de ER que assume decididamente os insights da pÃsmodernidade, inspirando-se nas metÃforas da rede de conhecimento, do rizoma, da espiral, do jogo e do sistema aberto. Resultado à uma matriz curricular em forma de rede que contorna a proposta inicial de um ER interteolÃgico, interreligioso e interdisciplinar organizado mediante colegiado de docentes constituÃdo por membros das diversas tradiÃÃes religiosas e CiÃncias da ReligiÃo presentes e vigentes no cenÃrio plurireligioso brasileiro.
Object of this research is the Religious Education [RE] and formation of teachers in Brazil and Germany. It was aimed to evaluate the inter-religious education and formation for their teachers in Brazil and to compare it with the conception of inter-religious learning in German RE. Following hermeneutic methodology, this thesis is structured according to triple-step-method (see-judge-act). To that corresponds the three main parts each one having two chapters. In the first part the socio-cultural, legal and epistemological context of RE in Brazil are analyzed. Therefore a positive concept of postmodernity is adopted, not as âafter modernityâ or even âanti-modernityâ. In the mean of a radicalized critique towards modern rationality a continuing dialectic between modernity and post modernity is assumed. The analysis of the epistemological context of RE leads to the conclusion that RE based on Religious Sciences with its claims of scientific neutrality is inserted in a modern concept and does not seem able to prepare students for an appropriate reading of the postmodern religious phenomenon. Therefore decision was taken for a new RE designated here as âintertheologicalâ, however, essentially inter-religious and inter-disciplinary. In order to his realization the formation of a colleague council composed of members of different religious traditions and representatives of various disciplines in Religious Sciences is suggested. The second part of the study evaluates the formation of RE teachers in Fortaleza comparing it with the conception of inter-religious learning in Germany. It is concluded that the formation of RE teachers in Fortaleza meets the requirements of a good formation of teachers in general, but with gaps in relation to the aspects of inter-religious and inter-disciplinary education. In consequence of this ascertainment a theoretical basis as well as a curricular mold for the formation of RE teachers that assumes decidedly the insights of postmodernity, drawing on metaphors of network knowledge, of rhizome, of spiral, of game and of open system is drawn up in the third part of that thesis. The result is a curricular model in form of a network that bypasses the initial proposal for an inter-theological, inter-religious and inter-disciplinary RE. Such RE has to be organized by a colleague council composed of members of different religious traditions and Religious Sciences as they are being present and influential in multireligious Brazilian scenarios.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on “livsfrågor” (questions of life) a typical Swedish concept introduced in the RE syllabus in the curriculum for compulsory schools in 1969. The study poses three questions: what can qualify as a “livsfråga”, why are they regarded important, and how do they fit into teaching? The main purpose is to study differences of the concept in two materials. Primarily interviews with Teacher educators all over Sweden and, secondly in the R.E. syllabus for compulsory and secondary schools from 1962 until today. Finally, the two materials used, will be brought together, and foci are recognized with the help of a tool for thought.  The study is using the concept dialogicity from Bachtin. Syllabus are viewed as compromises in accordance with a German tradition. In the syllabus, “livsfrågor” is one within many different words used with none what so ever stringency. It is not necessarily the most important term, as “livsåskådningsfrågor” (questions within philosophies of life)  is often dominating in objectivities. Also “existential questions” etc is used. The relation between the words are never made clear.  The syllabus are in one sense monologial as different meanings of the word are not made explicit, and other utterances are not invoked. In the interviews the dialogicity is more obvious. Philosophy is mentioned, eg.. Martin Buber, Viktor Frankl, theology (Paul Thillich), but also literature (Lars Gyllensten) and existentialism in a general sence. Other words are not as frequent – but “livsåskådningsfrågor” are of course mentioned, eg. Faith vs. knowledge. In the last chapter “livsfrågor” is problematized with the help of Andrew Wright and his three metanarrativies within the modern R.E. And the assumption, especially in the syllabus, of “livsfrågor”, as common between cultures and over time is problematized with the help of . feministic theory of knowledge.

Abstract:
Sociala medier har på flera sätt förändrat vårt sätt att umgås med varandra. Barn och ungdomar är idag stora konsumenter av sociala medier och detta har med stor sannolikhet påverkan på deras identitet och självbild. Syftet med studien är att utifrån Erik Homburger Eriksons psykosociala utvecklingsteori öka kunskap om hur undervisningen kring identitet och livsfrågor kan vara ett identitetsfrämjande element i religionskunskap för årskurs 4–6, och framförallt hur sociala medier kan nyttjas. För att uppfylla syftet har fyra undervisande lärare i religionskunskap intervjuats där de fått delge sina tankar om möjligheten att använda sig av sociala medier i identitetsfrämjande syfte. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats där den hermeneutiska cirkeln har använts som metod för analys av materialet.   Resultatet visar att de undervisande lärarna ser både behov och möjligheter med att använda sig av sociala medier i undervisningen, trots att ingen av dem ännu gjort det. Flera tar upp hur olika värderingar och livsåskådningar kan lyftas genom att exempelvis utgå ifrån ett klipp på sociala medier där en person pratar om hur hen ser på identitet och livsfrågor. Det finns generellt sätt en positiv attityd gentemot sociala medier, men några beskriver hur de upplever att ungdomars mående påverkas i en negativ riktning på grund av den stress och press som sociala medier kan innebära. Den största utmaningen som framkommer är att lärarna i fråga inte anser sig ha tillräckligt mycket kunskap om just de medier som eleverna konsumerar eller de förebilder som de följer. Tidsbristen blir således ett återkommande dilemma, då de tycker att de inte har tillräckligt mycket tid vid sidan av lektionerna för att sätta sig in i detta. Avslutningsvis kan det konstateras att det finns behov av fortsatt forskning inom ämnet.
Social media has in many ways changed how we socially interact with each other. The youth of today are big consumers of social media, and this might have great impact upon their identity and self-image. The aim of this study is to increase knowledge of how social media can be used in identity and existential questions in religious education in grades 4–6 to promote their identity development. It is based on Erik Homburger Erikson’s psychological development theory. To fulfil the purpose, interviews were conducted with four religious education teachers where they discuss the possibility to use social media in order to promote their students´ identity development. The study has a qualitative approach and the hermeneutic circle has been used as method for analysing the material.   The result shows that the teachers acknowledge the need and potential to use social media in their teaching, even though none of them has done so yet. Some of them talk about how different values and conceptions of life can be brought up for example by watching a clip where a youtuber or influencer talks about what he or she thinks about identity and existential questions. There is generally a positive attitude towards social media. However, some of the teachers describe how they see that the students are affected in a negative way due to stress and pressure from being constantly connected with others through the phone. The greatest challenge that emerges is that the teachers do not consider themselves to have enough knowledge about the media that the students are consuming or about the role models they follow. Lack of time is a recurring dilemma, since they do not think they have enough time for anything else but planning their classes. Finally, it is possible to establish that further research is necessary in this area.

Abstract:
Denna uppsats diskuterar det faktum att många lärarstudenter inom Religionsvetenskap och lärande är kristna eller, i mer sällsynta fall, bekänner sig till någon annan traditionell religion. Enligt läroplanen skall undervisningen i skolorna vara icke konfessionell, vilket skulle kunna uppfattas som något av ett problem om lärarstaben i det aktuella ämnet är aktivt troende. Länge bedrevs undervisningen av kyrkan men efterhand växte kraven på objektiv undervisning och statliga skolor tog över och sekulariserade undervisningen. På 1960-talet var kravet på objektivitet så stort att många lärare blev rädda för att undervisa och på så sätt råka påverka sina elever med sina egna åsikter. Nu har kraven på objektivitet mattats och detta kan ses i de undersökningar som ligger till grund för denna uppsats. Lärarstudenter och gymnasieelever efterfrågar inte objektivitet i lika stor utsträckning och man kan skönja en återgång till de romantiska tankarna . Trots detta ställer sig denna uppsats kritisk till det faktum att så stor andel av de blivande religionslärarna är erkännande troende. Detta på grund av de resultat som framkom i enkäten som gymnasieeleverna fick besvara. De anser inte objektivitet vara mycket viktigt men tycker trots det att den religionsundervisning de mottagit är till stor del partisk. Man kan tydligt se en polarisering mellan blivande religionslärares och gymnasieelevers syn på ämnet.
This essay discusses the fact that many teacher students within religious education are Christians or, in more rare cases, believe in some other traditional religion. The laws governing Swedish schools state that the education should be non-confessional, something that can be seen as a problem with a confessing staff. For a long time, schools were run by the church, but gradually the demand for objectivity arose and public schools took over and secularized the education. In the 1960´s, the demand for objectivity was so grand that many teachers became afraid of teaching and by mistake happen to influence their pupils with their own views. The demand for objectivity has somewhat subsided and this can be seen in the surveys this essay is based on. Teacher students and pupils in upper secondary school does not ask for objectivity in the same way as they used to and you can see a return to the more romantic ideas. Still, this essay is critical of the fact that so many teachers-to-be are confessing themselves to a belief; this due of the results from the questionnaire concerning upper secondary pupils. They think objectivity is not of the highest importance but still claim that the religious education they receive is to a large extent partial. One can clearly see a polarization between the upper secondary pupils and the teacher students’ opinions.

Abstract:
The 2015 revisions to the Ontario teacher education program were intended to give greater attention to diversity in the Ontario classroom and provide new teachers with more knowledge of the Ontario context. Using an interpretivist methodology, a careful examination of the curriculum changes undertaken by the Ontario Ministry of Education and the Ontario College of Teachers indicates that these objectives have not been met. Despite being an integral part of the identity and experience of a large number of Ontario teachers and students, religion is not one of the diversities given attention to in the revisions. This omission has revealed a gap in the Ontario teacher education curriculum in which the religious diversity component of the Ontario context is largely ignored. The gap in teacher education has also created a misunderstanding of the nature and intent of the secular classroom where, instead of being a place where all religions are given equal attention and one that fostering healthy religious conversations, it has become an environment of fear and silence, where teacher and students are unsure of how to engage it religious conversations. My research concludes that the OCT curriculum does not provide sufficient curriculum content that addresses teacher knowledge, skills and attitudes in the area of religion, nor does it provide information about religious belief systems and world views or clarify religious language and terminology. Despite the fact that teachers and parents welcome the academic, non-confessional study of religion in the classroom, the OCT and the OME have not indicated through the revisions that this is the direction in which they intend to proceed. Enacting changes to increase the amount of time required for teacher education has not prepared teachers to address the multi-religious context of the Ontario classroom or to meet the needs of religious students.

Abstract:
This thesis, 'Developing a professional learning community for teachers of religious education', aimed to study the learning experiences of teachers involved in professional learning to implement new religious education guidelines. In particular, the study attempted to explore teacher perceptions of the characteristics of effective professional learning and identified factors influencing their professional growth. Following the development of themes and key understandings, further research aimed to study the impact that teacher professional learning had on improving classroom instruction that in turn improved student learning outcomes. Situated within a qualitative paradigm the research design for the study is that of symbolic interactionism. Grounded theory methodology was used to analyse the theory generated from the data which included surveys, guided conversations, and moderation of student work samples. Themes generated from the study included Change and professional learning; The content of professional learning; The structure and design of professional learning in religious education; The context of professional learning in religious education; The reasons for professional learning in religious education; Professional learning that influenced teaching practices; and Professional learning that influenced student outcomes. From these themes, key understanding were developed and discussed against the research literature. The study has the potential to inform educational leaders of effective characteristics of professional learning for teachers of religious education that promote teacher learning and improve student outcomes.
