LEARNING ABOUT RELIGION AND LEARNING FROM RELIGION MODELIN MULTICULTURAL SOCIATIES

Abstract

Some factors like globalization shift from nation state to multi cultural life and pluralism revealed many changes in many fields and the education area is one of them. Religious education is one of the important areas in a medium where different cultures and religions live together. Among the studies in this field, the most accepted model is the “Learning About Religion And Learning From Religion” model by Michael Grimmitt. The traditional religious education is in the format of teaching a religions own dynamics and beliefs to its believers and the other people. In this model which is called “Learning Religion” religious information is given by teachers who accepted the same religion. In the ‘learning about religion’ stage before all else the meaning of religion and the need for religion should be taught. Here religion is not taught as any religion but its is taught as a phenomenon. In the ‘learning from religion’ stage the specified topics for every religion are taught from its own sources. Those two forms which became widely-known can be seen as a good explanation for the conception about religious education, because this approach helps the students to understand the others in a sympathetic and emphatic way.
