Conocimientos sobre valores y estrategias didácticas para la Enseñanza Religiosa Escolar de la Unidad Educativa Santa Mariana de Jesús

Abstract

Abstract:This study seeks to understand how Religious Education teachers know, perceive, and teach values ​​to their students. For this research, a questionnaire was administered to eight teachers at the Santa Mariana de Jesús Private Educational Unit. The main objective was not only to collect concrete data but also to listen to their own opinions in order to gain a more complete understanding of what happens in the classroom. The results show that the teachers have a clear grasp of the basic concepts of values: they differentiate between values, attitudes, and feelings, and recognize their importance both culturally and ethically. In their daily practice, it is evident that the teachers genuinely strive to live what they teach: they plan their lessons with values ​​in mind and include them in their assessments. It's also clear they are eager to learn new teaching methods to enhance their students' learning experience. Ultimately, all this work not only benefits the students but also creates a healthier school environment. This study provides a solid foundation for developing teacher training opportunities and motivating them to continue improving.
