Franck, Olof – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
This article discusses whether there is a contradiction in prescribing a religious, more specifically a Christian, tradition as the ethical basis for a teaching that is prescribed to be non-denominational. In the Swedish curriculum, the ethics borne by a Christian tradition and Western humanism are used as a platform for the school's teaching at…

Kaupp, Angela – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Students often complain that the content of their studies is not practice-oriented enough because they do not recognize the importance of theory. This theory-practice problem has long been discussed in teacher education. Explicit research on religious education (RE) is only just beginning. This article tries to evince some connectors between…

Halevy, Gai – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Despite the importance of religion to identity formation, there has been little research on religious identity, resulting in a limited understanding of the development of religious identity, especially among strictly religious adolescents. The aim of this study was to examine religious identity formation changes during post-high…

Akhtar, Nafees; Francis, Leslie J.; Village, Andrew; Sailer, Alison B.; Hasan, Syeda Salma; McKenna, Ursula – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
This paper examines the psychometric properties of the 30-item Moral Foundations Questionnaire among a sample of 370 young adults between the ages of 18 and 26 years who were born in Punjab and who had lived there since their birth. Initial analyses did not support the internal consistency reliability of the five scales of moral predispositions…

Carmody, Brendan – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Religious Education has long been part of Zambia's primary and secondary education curriculum. Though it contains a social justice section, it has been weakly socially transformative. This could be seen to be a major challenge today if Religious Education is to be educational. With a swiftly expanding social situation placing increasing numbers at…

Ryan, Maurice – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Barabbas has a small role in the Gospels, but his presence influences the way the Christian story has been told and received over the centuries. While he is mentioned in all four Gospels during the account of Jesus' Roman trial, he never appears "on-stage" in the Gospels. His main purpose is to exculpate the Romans of responsibility for…

Riegel, Ulrich; Rothgangel, Martin – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
On the one hand, research on religious education is done according to a transnational scientific paradigm, on the other hand, it is performed within particular institutional contexts which vary from nation to nation.This raises the question of how institutional context affect research on religious education.

O'Donnell, Kevin – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Spirituality is impossible to define, but numerous, common themes can be discerned. I suggest a model of spirituality based upon the oeuvre of Julia Kristeva, the Bulgarian/French philosopher, semiologist, and psychoanalyst. She is an atheist who has a great respect for belief. Her therapeutic work reveals compassion and a desire for the creation…

Filipovic, Ana Thea; Rihtar, Stanko – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
The coronavirus pandemic and measures to protect against the spread of infection have had a specific effect on individual age groups. This research is focused on adolescents (from 13 to 19 years old) because young people at that age are already going through a developmental crisis, which is further intensified by pandemic circumstances. The…

Caton, Marcia Theresa; Watters, Pamela – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Our intent was understanding the impact of spirituality on student resilience among race/ethnicity groups within the context of a parochial education. Students with high levels of resilience in high school and college settings experience academic persistence and school completion (Eisenberg, Lipson & Posselt, in New Directions for Student…

Sporre, Karin – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
In which ways do curricula recognize existential questions of compulsory school students, and what direction is given regarding how to address them? By asking these two questions, this study analyses syllabi for the school subject of religion education and its equivalents in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and in the two German regions of Bavaria and…

Plater, Mark – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
The 2018 Religious Education Council of England and Wales' review of Religious Education proposes that the subject should be reframed as Religion & Worldviews. Although follow-up studies have explored this idea in some depth, comparatively little thought has been given to the exploration of "personal" worldviews. This paper explores…

Olusola, Jeremiah O. A. – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
The public resurgence of religious adherence in the West remains one of the defining qualities of this century. If secularisation theory can be understood to articulate the inevitable secularisation of post-enlightenment European societies, religious converts may be understood to epitomise some of the theory's failings. Through a…

Flanagan, Ruth – Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Divergence is not a new phenomenon in RE in England and Wales. A diverse range of aims and approaches have been promoted since RE provision became compulsory in 1944. Approaches include the phenomenological, interpretative, and dialogic with current debates centring around the benefits and challenges of a 'worldviews approach'. There have been a…
