The Search for a Usable Knowledge in Religious Education: Educating Reflective Practitioners.

O'Gorman, Robert T.

Religious Education, v83 n3 p323-36 Sum 1988

Examining the relationship between theory and practice in religious education, O'Gorman contends that in the search for useable knowledge, the discipline of religious education must challenge the hierarchical relationship between theory and practice. Proposes that theory and practice be unified in a way to develop reflective practitioners. (GEA)
