Abstract
The recent review of research in RE conducted by OfSTED, the government agency responsible for inspecting education provision in England, advocates teacher engagement with research in order to address the complexity of a subject in which there is a lack of consensus about the aims and purposes and the RE teacher needs to be supported to engage with educational theory and research findings. Such concern for the relationship between teaching and research is not new and interest in understanding how to facilitate productive interactions recurs periodically. In 1967, the National Foundation for Educational Research in England and Wales (NFER) was commissioned to undertake an investigation of the views of teachers on educational research supported by the government, local education authorities and school leaders. The survey of teachers’ attitudes to research addressed four major questions:
期刊介绍:
The British Journal of Religious Education (BJRE) is an international peer-reviewed journal which has a pedigree stretching back to 1934 when it began life as Religion in Education. In 1961 the title was changed to Learning for Living, and the present title was adopted in 1978. It is the leading journal in Britain for the dissemination of international research in religion and education and for the scholarly discussion of issues concerning religion and education internationally. The British Journal of Religious Education promotes research which contributes to our understanding of the relationship between religion and education in all phases of formal and non-formal educational settings. BJRE publishes articles which are national, international and transnational in scope from researchers working in any discipline whose work informs debate in religious education. Topics might include religious education policy curriculum and pedagogy, research on religion and young people, or the influence of religion(s) and non-religious worldviews upon the educational process as a whole.
