ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of religious education on Turkish children’s reality status judgements, reasoning processes and intercessory beliefs for problem solving. The participants consist of 51 children, 27 of whom are enrolled in a public kindergarten that provides secular education and 24 in private kindergarten that provides religious education in addition to a secular curriculum. Pre-Test-post-test design was utilised. When the children in the religious group encountered a problem that is almost impossible for them to solve with their own abilities, they tended to demand help from God more than the ones in the secular group did.

世俗和宗教教育对儿童事实判断和解决问题策略的影响比较

摘要

本研究的目的是检验宗教教育对土耳其儿童的现实状况判断、推理过程和解决问题的代祷信念的影响。参与者由 51 名儿童组成，其中 27 人就读于提供世俗教育的公立幼儿园，24 人就读于除世俗课程外还提供宗教教育的私立幼儿园。采用了前测后测设计。当宗教群体的孩子遇到一个几乎无法靠自己的能力解决的问题时，他们比世俗群体的孩子更倾向于向上帝寻求帮助。
