Alleinstellungsmerkmal Berufsbezug: Braucht der Religionsunterricht an berufsbildenden Schulen eine eigenständige Fachdidaktik?

Does religious education at vocational schools need independent subject-oriented didactics?

Abstract

The didactics of religion investigates religious teaching and learning processes. In religious education at vocational schools, it has proven useful to include the probationary contexts of religious education in the trainees' professional life. To this end, for example, experts from everyday working life are consulted in order
to be able to prepare challenging situations. This is a unique feature of this teaching and also shapes research in this area. Nevertheless, vocationally oriented religious education remains dependent on a broad dialogue within the discipline.
