Religions and worldviews are interdisciplinary fields of research into education, learning, development and socialisation at various levels at schools, universities, families or communities with respect to religion and spirituality. Religions and worldviews are closely related fields of interest since both provide resources for identity development and meaning-making in life. While religions can be understood as sets of practices for establishing a relationship to a transcendent reality, for the sake of obtaining human good or avoiding harm, worldviews – as the broader term – also include non-transcended perspectives on the world, e.g. humanism or naturalism.
The Religions and Worldviews in Education SIG brings together researchers from various backgrounds, such as theology, religious studies, psychology, pedagogy, educational studies and philosophy. The SIG 19 is advocating empirical and theoretical research that includes cognitive, social and emotional components.
The SIG 19 will focus on the following topics and themes:
