ABSTRACT

The notion of worldview figures prominently in the recent discourse surrounding Religious Education (RE) in English schools following the publication of the final report of the Commission on Religious Education (CoRE) in 2018. This article reflects on the veracity of this initiative. It begins with an autobiographical reflection on the impact of worldview on the author’s development as a scholar. Then, the work of several critics of CoRE is discussed and a more nuanced understanding of worldview is developed as a result. Finally, the pedagogical implications of the shift to worldview are explored by drawing on the personal development approach of Michael Grimmitt and the responsible hermeneutics approach of Anthony Thiselton.

摘要

在2018年宗教教育委员会（CoRE）的最终报告发布之后，世界观的概念在最近围绕英语学校的宗教教育（RE）的论述中占有重要地位。本文反映了这一倡议的真实性。首先是对世界观对作者作为学者发展的影响的自传体反思。然后，讨论了CoRE的一些批评家的工作，结果对世界观有了更细微的了解。最后，通过借鉴迈克尔·格里米特（Michael Grimmitt）的个人发展方法和安东尼·西瑟尔顿（Anthony Thiselton）的负责任诠释学方法，探讨了向世界观转变的教学意义。
