Didáctica para la Educación Religiosa Escolar en Colombia

Abstract

This proposal continues the inter-institutional research between the Bachelor of Religious Education of the Faculty of Education of the Division of Open and Distance University (DUAD) of the Santo Tomás University (USTA) and the Bachelor of Theology program, as well as that the Degree in Philosophy and religious sciences (last cohort of students that the university has), from the Faculty of Theology, Philosophy and Humanities of the Catholic University Lumen Gentium (FUCLG). For this phase of the investigation, the Catholic University of the East has been added, through its Bachelor of Religious Education program, attached to the Faculty of Education Sciences (although in that case the decision to continue is to be confirmed).

During the 2015-2016 year, an approach to the nature of the ERE and its epistemological foundation was developed. In the conclusions of that first phase, the need to base the ERE as a school discipline is stated and this is carried out from a second phase of the investigation (2017-2018), later (2018-2019), a third investigative phase is developed, which concentrates on the curricular content of the ERE, in order to strengthen the pedagogical practices of teachers in the classroom.

However, for the present call (2019-2020), the need to advance to a fourth phase of research is seen, where the issues related to a teaching for the ERE are analyzed in a broad way, involving the understanding of general didactic aspects, giving the Step to the description of didactics as an educational medium that requires the approach of didactic paths for the specific discipline of the ERE.
