Descrição
Resumo:This chapter considers the reasons for doing empirical research on classroom processes and outcomes in Religious Education in general and in reference to the research projects carried out at Tübingen in particular. In this second respect, it also serves as an introduction to the chapters describing a number of Tübingen projects following this chapter. These projects were selected for presentation in this volume because all of them make use of a similar design and can be described as intervention studies. This design has not been used very often in the field of religious education before and will therefore also be explained in the following. This design allows for certain insights which appear to be especially promising for advancing the understanding ofteaching and learning in Religious Education, concerning different topics and a variety of educational aims. From the perspective of religious education, however, decisions about research cannot be justified alone by arguing for certain research designs or methodologies. Such decisions must also be based on considerations concerning the contents and the aims of Religious Education. In the present case, two kinds of content areas and educational aims play a special role in this respect - interreligious education and values education - an emphasis which also needs to be explained below.
