Abstract

The purpose of the article is to contribute to the improvement and upgrading the view of the subject of Religious Education nowadays, by studying the way young people experience its teaching and the problems that they face. In the present research, the perceptions of 147 Secondary Education students concerning the necessity of the subject of Religious Education, as well as the role that the teacher plays in the teaching of this subject, are presented. In the following field research, by selecting random sampling, the relationship of students with the value and purpose of religion in general, as well as their perceptions on the nature of the subject of Religious Education in particular, are presented through descriptive analysis and the use of anonymous questionnaires. As presented in detail in the conclusions of the research, the majority of the respondents believe in God, are satisfied with the teaching of this subject and consider the teacher and his/her transmissibility directly responsible for accepting or not the teaching of this subject.
