Following the recent publication of the Model Syllabuses for Religious Education, this paper considers some of the arguments surrounding multi-faith teaching. Focusing specifically on children learning about Judaism, it reports the findings of two studies. The first, involving 12- and 13-year-olds, offers prima facie support to those who criticise a multi-faith approach on the grounds that it inevitably leads to confusion. The second, carried out with a younger age group, undermines the force of this criticism, for it was discovered that the children had acquired misconceptions about Judaism outside the sphere of formal education. The implications of the second study are discussed in the context of claims made on behalf of multicultural education. |
