Conceptions of Religious Education at School Among Estonian and Finnish Adolescents — The main focus of the article is on studying conceptions of religious education at school among Finnish and Estonian adolescents. The study is a part of an international project entitled REDCo (Religion in Education: A Contribution to Dialogue or a Factor of Conflict in Transforming Societies of European Countries). This quantitative study is based on a questionnaire with a total of 406 (41%) participants from Finland and 582 (59%) from Estonia. Women were in a slight majority in the sample (women N=538, 57%, as opposed to men N=406, 43%). Despite historical and cultural differences pertaining to religious education, the results showed striking similarities. Young people in both countries considered the aims of modern religious education very important. At the same time, the majority of respondents were of the opinion that religious education should be an elective subject. The respondents also appreciated the model of religious education been applied in their own country (whether religious education is organised along denominational lines as in Finland or whether pupils of different confessional backgrounds are taught together as in Estonia). Gender, age and country of residence were significant factors only to some extent. |
