Vad tror blivande religionslärare? En livsberättelsestudie om sex lärarstudenters syn på religion

Abstract

With this thesis I have examined the views of religion among six comparative religion teacher students, with the perspecitve of their life stories. I have also examined what stance they want to take due to their personal beliefs in their forthcoming teaching. To achive this I have used in-depth interviews among the six soon examined teacher students, and within the interviews I have had a particularly focus on turning points of the students’ life stories. Later on I have used their turning points in an analysis with the hypothesis of ”Rites des Passage” and ”Structure and Anti-Structure”. In my survey I have found a significant relationship between the students’ life stories - in particularly their backgrounds and tourning points - and their views of religion. I have also found a linkage between whish beliefs/ideology the student has and hers/his openness to tell something about hers/his beliefs in hers/his forthcoming teaching.
