Religious education 5-12 - 2

This volume is intended for class teachers (and trainee teachers) in primary schools who wish to teach religious education well but are unclear as to how they might.

Firstly, this book maps out the changes that had taken place with regard to changing aims and objectives in the subject; children and their understanding of religion; and the broadening understanding of the notion of religion and considers the implications of these for the teacher.

Secondly, it investigates ways in which the teacher can approach religion in the classroom.

It develops five complementary approaches: thematic work, world religions, festivals, the Bible and biography.
