Examining moral values of primary-school youth

Abstract

The theme of this paper is examining morals in the context of religion and we start out of the standpoint of their mutual dependency. It is a research paper and its primary goal is to examine to what extent the studying of religious teaching affects the defining of moral values. Considering the fact that research results could easily deviate from the facts stated in theory, we still have as our goal the defining of moral education at school mainly through this kind religious teaching. Our sample includes students who attend religious teaching classes and those who do not. Sample classes of students attending religious teaching classes consist of two parts: students attending Islamic religious teaching classes and those students attending Catholic religious teaching classes. As a sample class of students attending Catholic religious teaching classes we chose an eight-grade class at the Catholic School Center “Sveti Pavao” in Zenica, and an eight-grade sample class of students attending Islamic religious teaching classes at “Ćamil Sijarić” school in Nemila. Key words: moral, moral education, moral values, religious teaching
