Başkalarının Dünya Görüşlerini Anlama: Din Eğitimine Yorumlayıcı Yaklaşımlar

Öz

Bu makale, yazarın 'Religious Education: An Interpretive Approach' adlı eserinde de olduğu gibi öncelikle temsil, yorumlama ve düşünümsellik anahtar kavramlarını tartışarak yorumlayıcı din eğitimi yaklaşımını tanıtma amacını gütmektedir. Makale, bu fikirlerin deneysel bir program geliştirme projesi olan Warwich Din Eğitimi Projesine (The Warwich RE Project) nasıl uygulandığını göstererek devam etmektedir. Nihayet Warwich Din Eğitimi Projesinin tamamlayıcısı olarak görülen yorumlayıcı yaklaşımın dört değişkeninin üzerinde durulmaktadır. İkisi İngiltere'deki Warwich Din ve Eğitim Araştırmaları Biriminde yapılan çalışmayla (Krisman ve O'Grady'nin çalışmaları) bağlantılıdır. Diğerleri ise Güney Afrika (Stonier, Kwenda ve Mndende) ve İsveç'teki (Eriksson) din eğitimcilerinden alınmıştır.

Understanding the Worldviews of Others: Interpretive Approaches to Religious Education

Öz

This article introduces the interpretive approach to religious education as described in the author’s book Religious Education: An Interpretive Approach, in particular discussing the key concepts of representation, interpretation and reflexivity. The article goes on to illustrate how these ideas were applied in an experimental curriculum development project, the Warwick RE Project. Finally, attention is given to four variants on the interpretive approach which are seen as complementary to the Warwick RE Project. Two of these are related to work done in the Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit in England (the work of Krisman and O'Grady). The others are from religious educators in South Africa (Stonier, Kwenda and Mndende) and Sweden (Eriksson).
