Wie SchülerInnen einer Wiener NMS über religiöse Vielfalt denken. Ergebnisse einer explorativen Schulfallstudie

The growing number of immigrant pupils and increasingly culturally and religiously mixed classes in schools have risen an awareness and sensitivity for interreligious relations. Inter-religious learning and interreligious dialog require a perspective change and a focus on the students as subjects and actors in their interreligious encounter. Due to this proposal, a few studies have asked for students' perceptions of and dealing with religious diversity in schools and among the religious education. The present paper will exhibit results from a research project on this special issue in a Viennese school. We asked for students' experience, perception, and negotiation strategies in the face of religious diversity using the method of writing narratives and story-telling to communicate their attitudes.
