DYNAMICS OF EDUCATIONAL PARADIGMES

Summary/Abstract: Focused on exploring the relations between Church and youth, our study comparatively addresses the upgrading of curricular structure of secular educational offers and the doctrinal limits of ”modernization” initiatives with respect to religious education of young people, undertaken in the hope of making religious practices more ”attractive”. Thus, unlike the learning contents offered byall other subject matters in the curriculum required to resonate permanently with the rhythms and proportions of the contingent social space evolution, epistemological contents of religion as transcendentally framed, being therefore perennial, may not be subject to similar ”modernizing” imperatives unless taking the risk of doctrinal and praxiological sideslips. Without opening polemics ofquestionable utility with neo-Protestant cults’ practices, the present study brings a couple of sound arguments to demonstrate that tradition does not mean primitivism, and confessional teaching of religion finds its well-deserved place within the identity profile of contemporary educational offers; moreover, upgrades of school logistics are attractive vectors to all kinds of activities, including pastoral and ritual components of religion.
