Christian Religious Education promotes the spiritual and moral development of learners. It enables them to engage in a search for meaning, value and purpose in life. Learners become aware that beliefs and values are fundamental to self, families and to the fabric of society. They discover the meaning and purpose of morality, beliefs and the values that are upheld by society. Religious beliefs are diverse. The scope of the programme of study enables learners to develop an appreciation of faith within communities.
The programme of study reflects contemporary approaches in the learning-teaching process. It supports learners in developing and reflecting upon their values and contributing to their capacity for sound moral and ethical judgment. Through developing awareness and appreciation of the value of each individual in a diverse society, Christian Religious Education brings about responsible attitudes towards other people.

Teaching and Learning: Christian Religious Education

The thrust of the syllabuses is experiential and towards deeper understanding. The focus in Christian Religious Education is on the development of spirituality and an understanding of how religion affects our actions in everyday life. The new syllabuses provide learners with a wide range of contexts in which to develop spirituality and this understanding, and these contexts are designed to engage the interest of the learner and to provide opportunities to build life-related knowledge, experience and skills. Teachers are
encouraged to go beyond the textbooks and provide as many meaningful contexts as possible. The generic skills have been integrated throughout the curriculum and can only be acquired through active approaches.

The role of the teacher is not only to build on learners’ existing knowledge and experience, but also to extend that by posing problems to the learners. This makes them think about their own ideas and experiences as well as adding new knowledge and skills to it. Learners need to interact with real situations inside and outside the classroom. They need to look at pictures or diagrams, examine statistics, or read texts from a range of sources. They need to find out knowledge and ideas for themselves. They
should then be expected to express these in their own words, not those of the teacher, and so demonstrate that they have understood what they have learnt.

In this approach, learners are encouraged to:

  • be responsible for their own learning
  • think for themselves and form their own ideas and opinions
  • become critical thinkers, ready to face new challenges and situations for themselves
