FDB1727 PEDAGOGY OF RELIGIOUS CONTENT CHILDREN'S BOOKS

Information

Course Goal / Objective

Children's books with religious content offer children the opportunity to get to know religious subjects, concepts and people more closely. Above all, children's books with religious content, which are products of children's literature, make significant contributions to children's religious development, especially the affective, personality and social development of children. Because, thanks to the texts prepared on the basis of artistic sensitivity and the principle of relativity to children, children get the opportunity to witness lives they will never witness and to get to know different people. They identify with heroes and adopt role models for themselves. The preparation of children's books with religious content, taking into account the religious interests, needs and religious developments of the children and the cognitive, affective, social, moral and religious development levels of the children they address, requires great care and attention. Because children's books with religious content should not be seen as a tool by which religious content is transferred to the child as it is. Such understanding can harm children beyond supporting their religious development. In this context, the content of the Pedagogy of Children's Books with Religious Content course consists of how to prepare books with religious content suitable for the religious development of children and what should be considered.
