It particularly focuses on the content under the heading Ethics. It is common knowledge that many teachers find these parts difficult to handle within RE. Further, ethics is a field that addresses a range of moral and existential issues that are not easily treated. Many of these issues may be said to belong to the philosophical context, in which “eternal questions” are gathered and reflected upon. The first chapters highlight the concepts of ethical competence and critical thinking. In the following chapters the concept of ethical competence is analyzed with regard to teachers’ objectives and to students’ texts, respectively. These chapters pursue a more practice-related approach and highlight specific challenges identified from both teacher and student perspectives. Next, the book raises the issue of global responsibility. What kind of critical issues arise when handling such matters at school? Further, can contemporary moral philosophers contribute to such a discussion? In turn, the book discusses the role of statistical analyses with regard to national tests, while the closing chapters present international perspectives on the book’s main themes and concluding remarks. The book’s critical yet constructive approach to issues regarding assessment in ethics education makes a valuable contribution to an ongoing debate among researchers as well as to the everyday communication on testing in schools and classrooms. As such, it will appeal to scholars in ethics education and researchers in the field of assessment, as well as educators and teachers interested and engaged in the task of testing ethics in school contexts where curricular demands for valid and authoritative evaluation may provide important guidelines, but may also pose challenges of their own. . 000807244 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000807244 650_0 $$aEducation$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 000807244 650_0 $$aReligious education. 000807244 7001_ $$aFranck, Olof. 000807244 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tAssessment in ethics education : a case of national tests in religious education.$$dCham, Switzerland : Springer, c2017$$z9783319507682$$w2017930930 000807244 830_0 $$aEvaluating Education: Normative Systems and Institutional Practices. 000807244 852__ $$bebk 000807244 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-50770-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000807244 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:807244$$pGLOBAL_SET 000807244 980__ $$aEBOOK 000807244 980__ $$aBIB 000807244 982__ $$aEbook 000807244 983__ $$aOnline 000807244 994__ $$a92$$bISE
