Teaching Methods and Techniques in Religious Education in a Pluralistic Nation
- 1Kwame Nkrumah University
Abstract
Every year, thousands of trainee teachers in Zambia walk into practice classrooms with a syllabus in one hand and a bundle of nerves in the other. Those who will teach Religious Education carry an extra weight. Their subject deals with belief, identity and conscience, and their learners come from homes that may hold very different convictions.
This book is written as a companion for that moment. It speaks to you directly, as a trainee teacher, and it assumes you are capable but still learning. It covers the methods you may decide to use in teaching practice: brainstorming, lecture, question and answer, group work, debate, storytelling, field trips, research and projects, and learner-centred approaches. It also deals with the daily realities that no syllabus explains, such as managing a class of sixty, dressing for the staffroom, and responding when one learner mocks another’s faith.
