Introduction to Religious Education Dublin City University - Full Curriculum Program Spring 2022 Semester - Dublin

This module introduces students to the discipline of religious education as the critical encounter between religion and education as well as a faith development activity. The module will provide a historical overview of the development of religious education theory and practice with particular reference to the Christian tradition. Students will consider the challenges for religious education today and draw on the perspective of selected theorists to identify an inclusive, student-centred and holistic rationale for the inclusion of religious education in schools on educational grounds.
