Different Concepts and Didactic Approaches to Citizenship Education in Religious Education

Religious education, whether in private or public schools, has always been in some way linked to the political sphere and citizenship. The history of many traditionally Christian countries shows that the cooperation of Church and state in education had a common goal: to educate good Christians and good citizens. What is the situation today? Our attempt to answer this question starts with the clarification of the concepts of education, school, religious education, and responsible citizenship. This is followed by a presentation of various concepts and goals of religious education and civic education, as well as their relationship and possible tensions that arise from the normativity of these concepts. Didactic issues are linked to empirical findings regarding various aspects of civic education preferred by teachers. Didactic questions relate to objectives, content, and methods, as well as to the cooperation of religious education with other subjects and to its participation in the school projects.
