Religious Education Research
Religious Education Research refers to academic inquiry into the theory and practice of teaching religion, including curriculum development, pedagogical approaches, assessment methods, and learner outcomes. It encompasses the study of religious beliefs, practices, texts, traditions, and cultures as they intersect with educational contexts and processes. This field of research draws on various disciplines such as education, religious studies, theology, sociology, psychology, and anthropology to understand and improve the religious education enterprise. Its ultimate goal is to foster critical thinking, ethical reflection, spiritual growth, and intercultural understanding among learners in diverse religious and secular settings.
