The Teaching of Religion in a Multi-Cultural Environment. The Results of Empirical Research in The Catholic Middle Schools in Rome

Summary/Abstract: The article approaches the situation of Italian middle catholic schools from pedagogical perspective in the new multicultural society. The author considers problems related to migration such as teaching catholic religion in the presence of other members of different religions. As a part of his Ph. D. thesis, the author presents the main findings of his empirical research on multicultural education in the catholic middle schools in Rome. The questionnaire was delivered to teachers in the year 2000. The author of the article has tried to investigate the role of the middle catholic school in the new multicultural context. It was attempted to ask teachers about their attitude to intercultural education and to make proposals for conducting catholic schools which have pupils arriving from different parts of the world. It emerged that the teachers’ attitude was positive in many aspects. However, it was found that for many teachers it is difficult to change their mentality from monoculture to multicultural, which is typical for “one culture country”.
