Dealing with Religious Heterogenity in Confessional Religious Edcuation. A Triangulative Study on the Status Quo of Religious Education at State Schools

宗教多元化和即将到来的宗教真理在公共生活中的出现，把处理宗教异质性放在了公立学校宗教教育的议程上。该项目通过对该学科教师的定性访谈（N = 24）和对宗教教育录像课程的分析（N = 48），探讨了忏悔宗教教育如何解决宗教异质性问题。样本将从职业培训学校和公立学校中抽取，因为这两种环境在教学方法和学习者群体内部的异质性方面都具有不同的特点。为了分析数据，该项目将采用文献分析方法（访谈）和视频分析（课程）。这些数据将根据与内容相关的标准进行三角测量。该项目的研究成果不仅具有理论意义，而且具有实践意义。从理论的角度来看，这些发现有助于更好地理解宗教异质性是如何在计划和缓和宗教教育中处理的。这些发现可能会支持、回顾和提出相关的论述。从实际角度看，研究结果提供了最佳做法和关键指标的例子，有助于改进最近的教师培训。

Religious plurality and the upcoming presence of religious truth claims in public life put the handling of religious heterogenity on the agenda of religious education at state schools. The project addresses how confessional religious education addresses religious heterogenity on the basis of qualitative interviews with teachers of this subject (N = 24) and the analysis of videotaped lessons of religious education (N = 48). The sample will be drawn from vocational training as well as from state schools, because both settings differ characteristically in both the didactics and the heterogeneity inside the groups of learners. To analyse the data the project will conduct Dokumentarische Methode (interviews) and Video Analysis (lessons). These data will be triangulated according to content-related criteria. The findings of the project are of theoretical as well as of practical importance. In theoretical perspective the findings contribute to a better understanding of how religious heterogeneity is dealt with in planning and moderating religious education. Relevant discourses may be supported, reviewed, brought forward by these findings. In practical perspective the findings enable an improvement of recent teacher training by providing examples of best practice and critical indicents.
