Kooperationen am Lernort Schule und interreligiöse Kompe-tenzen im islamischen Religionsunterricht

Abstract

With the so-called stable third of the non-religious, with new religions, but also with the presence of Islam in Germany due to immigration, society is becoming increasingly plural. Although denominational ties are decreasing, questions about the place and role of religion in society remain extremely topical and important. One main question is how schools can prepare pupils for tolerant cooperation and openness in society, precisely because diversity is of course already present in the school setting. Another key question is if – given these framework condi-tions – the denominational-based religion class can remain the means of choice. The article takes up two lines of inquiry: firstly, it aims to present the possibilities of cooperation within the denominational formats of religious education and look at the options of non-denominational formats for lessons; secondly, the possibilities and chances of interreligious learning and skills acquisition in Islamic religion classes are examined.
