This course was retired on 1st July 2024. It has been replaced with an updated version Introducing a religion and worldviews approach. If you have already enrolled on this original Introduction to religion and worldviews course it is still available for you to complete. It is unavailable for new enrolments.
What is a Religion and Worldviews approach? Maybe you have heard the phrase and are unsure what it means. Perhaps you have not heard the phrase at all. This course provides an introduction to what is happening in Religious Education right now, covering the most recent report into the subject and the thinking behind a new approach to teaching and learning in the subject.
You will consider some background information about the subject to enable you to make sense of the paradigm shift towards a Religion and Worldviews approach. This approach asks us to think differently about knowledge: to look at it from a variety of angles, or through various lenses, so that we can investigate information at greater depth and consider different interpretations and ways of seeing.
This course is for anyone with an interest in the subject; teachers and non-teachers, parents, SACRE members, school leaders, governors… all welcome!
The course takes between approximately one hour and 90 minutes in total. You can pause and return to your work at any time.
