On Ethics and Religious Culture in Québec: Comments and Comparative Perspectives from a Norwegian and European Context

摘要

In this article attention is drawn to how the term religious culture and how the Ethics and Religious Culture (ERC) subject is related to personal development. Questions are raised whether emphasis on religious culture might be seen as an expression of regionalism. Critical remarks are made regarding the relationship of the ERC subject and students' personal development. This is related to a general discussion in religion education regarding whether students should learn from religions or about religions. In discussing these topics, comparisons to the Norwegian context and the implementation of a mandatory secular religion education in Norwegian schools are made.View full textDownload full textKEYWORDScurriculum, education, personal development, religious educationRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15507394.2011.609097
