Abstract

This article makes international debates on religious literacy as well as forms of assessment in RE related to these debates its starting point by identifying the lack of an empirical basis for the respective discussions. A questionnaire for 15-year-old pupils with a focus on religious knowledge, based on prior studies and tried out in Finland, Germany and Sweden is introduced. The results, although not representative, allow for comparative evaluation, comparing the results at country level and in reference to different kinds of religion-related knowledge. Possible influences of the different curricula are identified by comparing different degrees of familiarity with certain topics or religions in relation to when the respective curriculum foresees them being treated. The article is meant to demonstrate that meaningful international research on religious knowledge as part of religious literacy is possible, that its results could inform RE and show the possible value of developing such efforts further.

开发一种研究工具,将宗教知识作为宗教素养的一部分进行调查:问卷调查——初步结果——国际比较的可能性
本文通过确定各自讨论缺乏经验基础,使有关宗教素养的国际辩论以及与这些辩论相关的可再生能源评估形式成为其出发点。本文介绍了一份针对15岁学生的宗教知识调查问卷,该问卷基于先前的研究,并在芬兰、德国和瑞典试用过。这些结果虽然不具有代表性,但可以进行比较评估,在国家一级比较结果,并参考不同种类的宗教相关知识。不同课程可能产生的影响是通过比较学生对某些主题或宗教的不同熟悉程度,以及相应课程预计如何处理这些主题或宗教来确定的。本文旨在证明,作为宗教素养的一部分,对宗教知识进行有意义的国际研究是可能的,其结果可以为RE提供信息,并显示进一步发展此类努力的可能价值。
