EDUCAÇÃO EM RELIGIOSIDADE: DESAFIOS E PERSPECTIVAS

Abstract

The objective of this article is to present challenges and perspectives that arise for an education in religiosity in the context of basic education. The term religiosity is understood and assumed here as a condition of the human being, in the anthropological aspect, which is why it is based on studies and analyzes of different social sciences. We took as a reference, for an understanding of religiosity, studies of the Psychology of human development, having as a parameter the personal and moral development in Kohlberg, and the development of religiosity in Fowler. We raise relevance for a school curriculum that has as object of knowledge the “religious knowledge” proposed by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), and we propose, therefore, an education in religiosity from the anthropological condition of the human being. The purpose of an education in religiosity is to contribute to the perception of the human being in its complex totality and, in this respect, to lead the student to learn about the meaning of hope that guides life, understanding himself in the world, the constitute oneself in alterity and to know how to interpret phenomena underlying cultures.
