Improving Religious Education Through Teacher Training Kartoniert (TB)

This book brings together two topics which have both been of increasing interest in different countries. The first refers to the quality of Religious Education as a school Subject (RE) in general the second is about the education of teachers of RE and its possible contribution to better quality RE. There have been many public and often controversial debates concerning both of these topics. The chapters contained in this volume however are not meant to continue such debates (even if it is inevitable that they will contribute to these debates as well) but to make use of research especiall y research on teacher education in the field of RE in order to provide insights based not just on political or personal opinions but on rigorous academic scholarship.
