Existential questions in religious education at junior highschool

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to get increased knowledge of how teachers motivate and teach youth about existential questions at junior highchool. My issue for this composition is to find out how – and how much – teachers in fact teach about existential questions in the religious education. I interviewed four teachers at junior highschool, with various experiences. One teacher had about thirty years of experience in teaching, and one teacher was quite young and unexperienced. The result indicates that the youth were interested in a lot of existential questions. The study also indicates the teachers view of youth’s identity-work and their existential questions. The resultat is compared with studies of Dahlin, Hartman and Sjödin
