Abstract

This article aims to determine the effects of worldview education on the understanding of others’ beliefs and worldviews in the context of religious education. The main purpose of worldview education is to assist students to have a broader and deeper understanding on self-identity, worldviews of others, meaning and purpose of life. It also helps students to think on ontological, epistemological and ultimate questions about life and beliefs. For these purposes worldview education uses Socratic questions, critical thinking and site visits as teaching tools. These experiences assist students to establish a new point of view towards self and others. For this research 42 students and alumni of Renaissance College, University of New Brunswick, Canada has been interviewed about the effects of ‘Worldviews, Religions and Cultures’ course which they took in their fi rst year of the university education. Dr. John Valk, the creator of worldview education approach, has been also interviewed about the effects of worldvıew education on student learnings, thoughts and attitudes towards others. Semi-structured interview is used a tool for collecting data in this research.

Worldview education helps students to understand others beliefs and values.

Özet

Makalenin amacı dünya görüşü eğitimi yaklaşımın din eğitimi alanına ötekinin dini inançlarını ve dünya görüşünü anlamada etkisini tespit etmektir. Bu amaçla Kanada, New Brunswick Üniversitesi, Renaissance College’da lisans düzeyinde yürütülmekte olan ‘Dinler, Dünya Görüşler ve Kültürler’ dersini almış 42 öğrenci ve mezunla ve dünya görüşü eğitimi yaklaşımının teorisini oluşturan ve eğitimini veren Dr. John Valk ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Görüşmelerde dünya görüşü eğitiminin bireyin kendisine ve ötekine karşı olan düşünce, tutum ve davranışlarını hangi yönlerde ve nasıl etkilediği sorgulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda dünya görüşü eğitiminin öğrencileri ötekini tanıma kazanımına ulaştırdığı, farklı din ve kültürlere karşı olan düşünce, tutum ve davranışlarını olumlu bir şekilde geliştirdiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca dünya görüşü eğitiminin öğrencileri yaşamın anlam ve amacını sorgulamaları yönünde teşvik ettiği ortaya çıkmıştır.
