The role of religious education in the development of competencies specific to the training profile of high school graduates

Abstract

Through the information, knowledge and values offered, the educational process aims at forming and shaping characters. The Christian character presupposes an improvement of each faculty of the soul through the relationship between grace and freedom and their constant harmonization, which can be achieved only with the help of a moral-religious education.If in most study disciplines the emphasis is mainly on information, in the case of religious education, the emphasis is on the formative aspect, which brings a balance in the holistic training of the young person. Based on the descriptions of the key competencies, the training profile of the high school graduate was derived from a European Commission document on these competencies on three levels of acquisition: elementary, functional and developed. Thus, by achieving the derived competencies proposed in the religious classes, the eight competencies aimed at training the graduate for integration into society can be developed.
