KINDERGARTEN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN ROMANIA. THEORETICAL ISSUES AND PERSPECTIVES OF USING THE CASE STUDY
Abstract
The present article deals with an issue which has relatively recently attracted the attention of the curriculum authors in Romania, the need to support the religious education that kindergarten teachers carry on with parental consent in kindergarten. The aim of this paper is to present some theoretical aspects and to raise a number of questions with a clarifying role for the direction in which the moral and religious training in kindergartens in Romania should follow. The paper is set up as an ascending endeavour, having in its final presentation the summary of a case of child significantly sustained in the recovery of his mental and emotional development as a result of an intervention having in the foreground the religious story. Increasingly used in education, the case study method also involves, for the moral and religious education in kindergarten, a number of facets: educational method, research method, method of educational counselling.
