The publication of the book “Metacognition, Worldviews, and Religious Education,” a Practical Guide for Teachers in Greek, is a scientific work with practical application for educators that highlights the need for a holistic approach between the practices of teachers and the scientific theories and methods of educational psychologists.
The need for the existence of such a manual in Greek comes to bridge the gap between religious development and education and metacognitive thinking. The lack of such an approach is particularly evident in teaching about religious development in childhood, which carries over into adolescence.
The authors of the book approach the subject holistically and suggest ways in which both sides, teachers and educational psychologists, can interact to provide a comprehensive framework for how metacognition develops concerning religious education, the formation of personal perceptions that will lead to the cognitive construction of the worldview.
It also provides a comprehensive framework for how children's metacognitive thinking can be developed concerning religious education. Through specific activities that educators have already utilized in the classroom, the steps of such a developmental path are mapped out.
The Didactics of the Religious Studies subject, based on modern learning theories and the teaching approaches deriving from them, has been revised in recent times and has shifted towards examining themes such as understanding the particularities of religious language, exploring religious cultural elements, and enhancing dialogue in the public space.
In the context of intercultural education, the journey of acquiring a moral-religious identity passes through communication with God, meeting with fellow humans, and the search for self-knowledge. Metacognition is elevated to a pillar of inclusive multi-religious education.
This manual can serve as a valuable tool in linking the Theory of Mind with the development of critical thinking, enhancing the understanding of personal worldviews as well as the worldviews of others, developing personal religious identity, and renewing Religious Education.
