Oriundo da fusão de pensamentos de duas dissertações de Mestrado, o presente trabalho propõe-se a averiguar as relações e inter-relações existentes entre ethos e cultura como base real de um presumível contrato de convivência e sobrevivência do gênero humano nas atuais circunstâncias. Subsiste o fato de que o espetáculo do progresso científico não conseguiu conter a inquietude no ser humano, que continua na sua busca por respostas para os por quês da vida. O Ensino Religioso surge, neste contexto, como área de conhecimento que propõe um debruçar-se sobre as questões fundamentais da existência humana. O enraizamento da transcendência é a cultura. E, se a transcendência se expressa para a maioria dos indivíduos através da religião, torna-se imprescindível para a educação trabalhar o fenômeno religioso como elemento que compõe e constitui a identidade do sujeito. Buscar a conexão existente entre ethos e cultura significa ir ao encontro das expectativas de fundo da humanidade no seu modo de ser, de perceber e conceber a realidade, o tempo e a transcendência. Tudo isso no contexto da multiculturalidade, no qual o docente, no seu papel de mediador, deve estar preparado para compreender e fazer compreender as inúmeras faces, símbolos e significados das várias religiões ou orientações filosóficas presentes na sua sala de aula, nesta busca pelo Absoluto e pela Verdade, inerente a todo o ser humano, por mais diversa que seja a sua cultura.

Ao refletirmos sobre o Ensino Religioso enquanto área do conhecimento, e nos ocuparmos com o estudo do fenômeno religioso, precisamos ter presente a função do professor desse componente curricular. Nenhum processo educativo constitui-se isoladamente sem uma intencionalidade que perpassa o fazer pedagógico do timoneiro da educação. Neste artigo, que é parte da dissertação do Mestrado em Educação na PUCRS, busco aprofundar o papel do educador no desenvolvimento da aprendizagem, no diálogo e na partilha que acontece em sala de aula. A partir da história do Ensino Religioso, lançamos um olhar prospectivo no aspecto do conteúdo, da metodologia e, principalmente, do ser do educador inserido neste processo.

No Brasil, o Ensino Religioso na Educação Infantil ainda não é uma realidade, é controversa a sua natureza, a sua finalidade e sua prática pedagógica. Pretendemos com esse trabalho, desenvolvido como uma oficina com professoras desse segmento, evidenciar as concepções das fontes do Ensino Religioso, caracterizá-lo como disciplina e demonstrar sua especificidade. Como exemplo, trataremos do tema Amazônia. Em nossa tese de doutoramento em Ciências da Religião objetivamos construir uma epistemologia do Ensino Religioso.

Consciente das particulares obrigações da Companhia de Jesus em matéria de ensino, o Padre Alexandre de Gusmão (1629-1724), com a Arte de criar bem os filhos na idade da puerícia (1685), pretendia «um perfeito menino», educado, desde tenra idade, segundo os princípios da doutrina cristã e em «santos e honestos costumes». Logo que a criança tomasse conhecimento da realidade e começasse a discernir o bom do mau, deveria conhecer o Criador e os principais mistérios da fé. Os pais deveriam afastar os filhos do pecado e do vício, e incutir-lhes a piedade e o temor a Deus. Neste projecto pedagógico, reconhecia-se ser a educação dos filhos dever inalienável dos pais, cujo exemplo constituía «o melhor documento». Para que soubessem agir correctamente era-lhes especialmente dedicada a segunda parte da obra em apreço, com o sugestivo título de Como se hão-de haver os pais na criação dos meninos. Com este envolvimento, Gusmão tinha, igualmente, consciência da necessidade de reformar a família e, por natural extensão, a própria sociedade. Contudo, da boa criação dos meninos beneficiava também a república. Largamente apoiado nas Sagradas Escrituras, na História, nos filósofos da Antiguidade Clássica, bem como em muitos autores cristãos, Alexandre de Gusmão, para corroborar o seu pensamento pedagógico, utilizou situações exemplares e referências das autoridades, de modo que as suas ideias prevalecessem, sem possibilidade de quaisquer contestações gratuitas. Por diversas vezes, repetiu a mesma ideia, como a sublinhar propositadamente a mensagem que desejava transmitir.Gusmão entendia que a educação deveria conduzir à salvação. A boa criação dos meninos implicava obediência, devoção e piedade. Os pais e os mestres, que se demitissem deste propósito, haveriam de prestar contas a Deus e receber severos castigos divinos. Com esta comunicação, pretendemos dar a conhecer os princípios pedagógicos defendidos por Alexandre de Gusmão na obra em análise, salientando como a Escola deveria servir as letras, os bons costumes e a religião católica.

Em início do século XX, no ano de 1905, no momento que se afigurou promissor, foi fundado o Colégio Americano Batista-C.A.B. Já predominava no Brasil o ensino religioso ministrado pelos Jesuítas vindos de Portugal. Fora um trabalho evangelístico-educacional, numa concepção de reeligere, numa cosmovisão unirreligiosa. Os conteúdos dessa disciplina ficavam sob a responsabilidade da igreja, visto ser ela considerada à única com habilidades plausíveis. José Eduardo Franco, (2006, p.311), em seu artigo O mito dos Jesuítas em Portugal - século XVI-XX menciona que “Portugal não teve, no seu território, nenhuma origem religiosa que tivesse obtido em tão elevado grau, o prestígio e o renome, que a partir de 1540, os Jesuítas conquistaram. Mas também nenhuma outra instituição religiosa foi julgada de forma tão dupla contraditória”. A despeito das possíveis qualidades do trabalho efetuado pelos Jesuítas, ou porventura, o aflorar de suas limitações, não é o que neste trabalho de pesquisa pretendemos analisar particularmente. Propomos investigar como o ensino religioso protestante tem influenciado a educação do Colégio Americano Batista desde as suas origens à atualidade sem excluir a promulgação da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional-9.394/96 e com a estrutura do ensino religioso mediante a produção dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais-PCNs. Utilizamos como material empírico os depoimentos de docentes, discentes, e de toda a equipe técnica e pedagógica desta instituição. Pretendemos com tal metodologia assegurar a dimensão da influência do Ensino Religioso na educação como agente transformador na sociedade. Compreendemos a relevância desta pesquisa, à medida que observamos a interação do diálogo interreligioso e o avanço obtido quanto à concepção catequética numa passagem para uma nova concepção de ensino religioso, na concepção do sentido para a vida.

El artículo muestra cómo los postulados de libertad e igualdad, propuestos por el Estado nacional, fueron asimilados por las escuelas religiosas de la ciudad de Cuenca, en Ecuador. A través del análisis de dos fuentes: la literatura y los testimonios orales de quienes fueron alumnos de estas escuelas entre 1928 y 1946, el estudio muestra cómo en esta ciudad el liberalismo no fue percibido como obstáculo para que los niños pobres opten por la educación religiosa. En este contexto, la propuesta liberal chocó con los valores del antiguo régimen escolar. Si bien se mantenían las diversas prácticas de discrimen de una sociedad local estratificada, al mismo tiempo se observa que también se introdujeron cambios especialmente en la educación de las mujeres de origen popular.

This article represents a critique of the 'spiritual literacy' approach to spiritual education developed by Andrew Wright (e.g. 2000a), with particular reference to the inclusion of Michael Polanyi's theory of 'tacit knowledge'. Wright's assessment of the current state of religious education is summarised and his proposed method is outlined. Polanyi's ideas are then described and assessed for their compatibility with the 'spiritual literacy' approach.

The question of where to locate teaching about the relationships between science and religion has produced a long-running debate. Currently, Science and Religious Education (RE) are statutory subjects in England and are taught in secondary schools by different teachers. This paper reports on an interview study in which 16 teachers gave their perceptions of their roles and responsibilities when teaching topics that bridge science and religion and the extent to which they collaborated with teachers in the other subject area. We found that in this sample, teachers reported very little collaboration between the curriculum areas. Although the science curriculum makes no mention of religion, all the science teachers said that their approaches to such topics were affected by their recognition that some pupils hold religious beliefs. All the RE teachers reported struggling to ensure students know of a range of views about how science and religion relate. The paper concludes with a discussion about implications for curriculum design and teacher training.

Essentialist concepts of religion are common in the teaching of religion in schools and to a certain extent also in the academic discipline of religious studies. In this article, a number of problems with essentialist perceptions of religion are discussed. In the first part of the article a thesis is maintained, according to which essentialist conceptions of religion or specific religions are too limited to be of value in the teaching of religion. This is done through examples of essentialist expressions about religion. The examples are grouped according to a typology of different kinds of essentialism. Two main categories, each with two sub-categories are identified. Thus, the category of essentialism regarding the substance of religion is divided into transcendental or theological essentialism (which presupposes the existence of a sacred power of some kind, the experience of which is the basis for religion), and core essentialism (where it is presupposed that certain ideas or concepts constitute religion as a general category or specific religions). Likewise, the category of essentialism regarding the function of religion has two sub-categories: positive and negative essentialism. These kinds of essentialism presuppose that religion or specific religions are inherently good or harmful respectively to human beings. Examples from each of these categories are given and discussed. In the second part of the article, Benson Saler’s open concept of religion is presented as an alternative to essentialist or bounded perceptions. It is based on Ludwig Wittgenstein’s idea of family resemblances and on prototype theory. In connection with this, it is argued that a certain kind of conscious ethnocentrism is needed as a point of departure in the study and teaching of religion. The metaphor of education as a journey from the familiar out into the unfamiliar and back again is suggested as a possible pattern for such teaching. Finally,some examples of non-essentialist ways to introduce religions are offered.

This thesis explores aspects of teachers’ obligation to implement and discuss what are referred to in the Swedish national school curricula as “fundamental values” (“värdegrunden” in Swedish). The aim is to describe and analyze dilemmas in interpretations of and teachers’ work with these fundamental values. Four questions are related to this aim. The first addresses difficulties discussed in conversations between seven upper secondary teachers, during nine meetings over the course of one year. In these conversations the teachers reflected upon how to interpret the fundamental values in relation to their daily practice. The second question focuses on the considerable diversity of Swedish schools and examines the work of the teachers through a perspective of intersectionality. The third question concerns how Martha Nussbaum’s theory of emotions as judgments of value could be used for an understanding of the identified dilemmas. The fourth question focuses on ways in which the participating teachers’ discussions may contribute to a wider discussion about possible aims and circumstances of teachers’ work with the fundamental values. Chapter 2 introduces the theoretical framework of the study, Martha Nussbaum’s (2001) ethical thinking on emotions as judgments of value. She argues that emotions have four common cognitive components. They have (1) external objects, and are directed towards these objects. They are (2) intentional, reflecting a person’s particular point of view, his or her special way of beholding the object, and (3) consist of judgments, i.e. views of how things in the world are. According to Nussbaum’s Aristotelian ethics, emotions also (4) mirror the individual’s vision of what a good human life is like, and the vulnerability of it. The concept of eudaimonia, a fulfilled or flourishing life, is central. Chapter 3 focuses on ideas of ethnicity, and on the specific obligation mentioned in the curriculum of counteracting xenophobia and intolerance in a multicultural society. Chapter 4 discusses various aspects of the teachers’ thoughts on religiosity within Swedish society (often depicted as one of most secular in the world) and within the educational system that is non-denominational. Chapter 5 draws attention to different ways in which the teachers view and teach pupils about sexual orientation. Chapter 6 presents conclusions on potential advantages of and challenges involved in Nussbaum’s Aristotelian theory of emotions, when applied to teachers’ views of and practical work with the fundamental values described in the curriculum. One advantage is that emotions may be intellectually scrutinized and morally assessed, on grounds that are known beforehand and discussed in a democratic process. The non-productive division between emotions, on the one hand, and intellectual and moral capabilities, on the other, is transcended by Nussbaum’s theory. An important challenge is to reflect upon when to discuss the cognitive content of pupils’ emotions, and when it is appropriate to state what is right or wrong, and try to influence pupils accordingly. Keywords: Emotions, vulnerability, values education, religious education, teaching, Martha Nussbaum, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation.

This paper adopts the assumption that religion continues to be a major highlight in the dimension of the contemporary world - characterized by pluralism, the ideas of tolerance and freedom. But for certain streams of Christianity, the postmodern culture seems to be characterized as a highly damaging to their doctrines and principles, since this religious matrix carries a truth claim that would support all its significance, its definition values and their dissemination effort ( evangelism ). This is not to say that Christianity is the only religion that claims to the truth, which would be a gross mistake. Now, religion has been reputed as a phenomenon doomed to disappear, according to the " ideology " of Modernity, given the idea that scientific development would lead us inevitably to the statement that religion was merely a social institution based in the superstition, in fantasy, the imaginary and therefore had nothing "real " unless its existence as an institution capable of aggregating society (give it cohesion), provide values and meaning to different ontological anxieties and doubts of humankind. In the contemporary scenario - seeded by modernity - as Christian ideas, doctrines and principles are in harmony or conflict with postmodernity? These are our starting questions and issues that we intend to stop and reflect. From the assumption that the religious phenomenon has great force in the present day, this research aims to perform central analysis of how religious education, a Protestant denomination specific, harmonizes or clashes with the ideology or ideas more general and emphatic that we can observe in the western world is presented to us from the diagnoses made by the contemporary authors who debate about postmodernism and postmodernity, notably David Harvey, Jean - François Lyotard, Bauman Zygmunt and Fredric Jameson

The present work has the intention to analyze the contribution of the writer and journalist Palmyra Guimarães Wanderley to the education, throughout her writings in the period between 1914 to 1920. I search through her journalist writings produced in the feminine magazine Via Láctea (1914-1915) her idealization, and as in the newspaper A República e Diário de Natal, in the decade of 1920 establishing relationships with education, mostly because of her production in the pages of the paper articles regarding feminine education and women condition. At the same time I sketch the biographic profile of Palmyra Wanderley relating her to the historical moment that she lived. To achieve the proposed goals I begin with a documental research within the available archives and use other sources like pictures and interviews with her relatives. The results of the research show that the worry of Palmira Wanderley with the education in our state, goes beyond her published writings in magazines and newspapers. She has been ahead of Escola de Comércio Feminino and Aliança Feminina, she has also done a conference in the House of the Young Single Ladies' Protection (Casa de Proteção às Moças Solteiras), institution of the Aliança s responsibility that offered shelter, food, formal and religious education to the workers of the Fabric Factory of Natal (Fábrica Tecidos de Natal). Her involvement evidences her contribution to the historiography of the education in Rio Grande do Norte, specially the history of women education ensuring her presence in the day by day history

This text aims to identify the discursive relations and the mechanisms used by sources - discourses gathered at press and specialized sites - in composing of viewpoints presented about the religious education textbooks and, a result of that, of controversial relationship built thereafter. The theoretical foundation of this work rests largely on the concepts of global semantics and constitutive intermisunderstanding (MAINGUENEAU, 1997, 2008) and discursive heterogeneity (AUTHIER-REVUZ, 1990, 1998). The research corpus consisted of four texts, three of which were published in 2010 and another in 2011, two reports and two opinion articles about the subject. From our analysis, we could see the construction of a controversial relationship between a discursive formation that challenges the teaching of religion in Brazilian public education, on the grounds that benefit the Christian faith and, moreover, one that supports the continuation of this practice and consider it important for the formation of the student and also as a promoter of diversity and equality.
