Los Aportes de la Educación Religiosa Escolar en Estudiantes de Décimo Grado

Abstract

School Religious Education (ERE) has as its function the search for an integral formation, based on dialogue and respect with oneself and with others, which leads to the adoption of a critical position in the face of the spiritual and human dimension. This writing develops a study whose purpose is to identify the contribution of School Religious Education to the spiritual formation of 10th grade students from the educational institution of Los Haticos, department of La Guajira. The methodological approach used was qualitative, from a hermeneutical and ethnographic perspective; the population consisted of 15 participants, including teachers and students, who were interviewed. In the results, it was obtained that both teachers and students agree that ERE contributes to spiritual formation and in turn to personal and social development of students; the greatest importance of this training is aimed at strengthening the interaction, understanding and respect of peers. It was concluded that ERE is important in the spiritual formation of students because it strengthens personal development, based on the encounter with God through the word and from this reality, greater value is given to the social environment where it operates.
