The researcher is
aiming
to explore the meaning of “spiritual development” and its
understanding by Religious Education teachers (RE Teachers elsewhere
in the following text) of secondary, middle and primary schools. The
main focus is on actual understanding of the term itself and its
practical applications in RE. Terms such as “self-development”
and spiritual and religious affiliation(s) will also be explored. The
researcher is interested in teachers’ religious and spiritual
affiliation(s) and their personal background concerning their
personal development if any (as considered by the participant).
Possible relationship between teachers’ religious and spiritual
backgrounds, their views about spiritual development and
self-development and their views about methods and provision for
spiritual development in RE lessons will be explored, recorded and
analysed.
Please
