This research study aimed to explore and describe students' and
teachers' perceptions of religious education programs for Year 12
students in Catholic schools in the State of Victoria, Australia,
in light of theoretical concepts of religious education. It sought
to discover how appropriate these programs were in meeting the
needs of today's students and achieving the aims of religious
education for senior secondary students in Catholic schools in
Victoria. The findings indicated that, in the perceptions of a
majority of students, the religious education programs were not
meeting their needs. This raised the question of the relevance of
the curriculum documents upon which the programs were based for
senior secondary students in a contemporary world. The findings,
therefore, suggested a need for a review of such programs in
Catholic schools.The study concluded with the proposal of thirteen
guiding principles that could inform the development,
implementation and evaluation of future Year 12 religious education
programs in Catholic schools in Australia.
