التعليم الديني

المرحلة الأساسية 3 يركز منهج التربية الدينية في كلية إرنست بيفين على أربعة مواضيع رئيسية:

  1. السياق التاريخي والثقافي:
    يتعلم الطلاب كيف تتغير الأديان وتتطور بمرور الوقت. وهذا يشمل الأسباب التاريخية للتغييرات في المعتقدات والصلات بين الأديان.
  2. حياة المؤمنين
    يتعرف الطلاب أيضًا على كيفية تأثير الانتماء إلى دين ما في الحياة اليومية للمؤمنين. كيف تشكل معتقداتهم الدينية قراراتهم وعلاقاتهم مع الآخرين?
  3. تسامح
    العالم مليء بأشخاص لديهم معتقدات وآراء مختلفة للغاية. سيتعلم الطلاب كيفية احترام معتقدات الآخرين الذين قد يكون لديهم آراء مختلفة عن آرائنا.
  4. الدين في المجتمع
    يتعلق الموضوع الأخير بكيفية تعايش الأديان المختلفة معًا في العالم الحديث وكيف يمكن أن يؤدي ذلك أحيانًا إلى الصراع والتحديات
