This book presents a number of fundamentally challenging
perspectives that have been brought to the fore by the national
tests on religious education (RE) in Sweden. 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.
