THL472 Teaching Philosophy of Religion (8)
This subject provides the student with a basic knowledge of the questions and issues most commonly discussed in philosophy of religion. It also seeks to equip the students with the tools of philosophical reasoning, analysis and argument that are needed in order to teach philosophy. Whilst the subject will cover academic material, the focus will be on the questions raised by students in the classroom and strategies for developing answers that will enhance the philosophical understanding of school aged students. It will identify opportunities for connecting philosophy to the other perspectives (biblical, world religions and ethics) in order to facilitate the integration of philosophy into the curriculum.
