Religious education seeks to help students acquire religious ideas by
interpreting religious and other stories in accordance with their life
world. Schools pursue this goal by organising religious learning
activities. The question is whether the acquisition of religious ideas is
possible for young students, considering the difficulties such as the
complex and not readily understandable religious stories, and social
developments as de-institutionalisation, de-traditionalisation and
pluralisation? What are the possibilities for primary schools of teaching
their students knowledge about religious ideas? What is the influence of
feelings on the acquisition? What possibilities in the form of learning
arrangements can be created for primary school students, with their
diverse religious backgrounds, to acquire religious ideas optimally? That
is the cardinal problem explored in this study.
