BIBLICAL DIDACTICS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL RELIGIOUS TEACHING

Pitanje o suvremenim načinima komuniciranja s Biblijom jedno je od gorućih vjeronaučnih pitanja i implicira kategorije iskustva, relevantnosti i životne orijentacije. Ono glasi: na koji način Biblija današnjim učenicima može ponuditi životnu orijentaciju? Kako se može povezati životno iskustvo učenika s onim biblijskog čovjeka tako da biblijska istina o tome da Bog ljubi čovjeka postane učenicima plauzibilna i relevantna za život? Na neka od tih pitanja u ovom ćemo radu odgovoriti s didaktičko-metodičkog stajališta. U prvom dijelu riječ je o pedagoškoj ulozi Biblije u vjeronauku. U drugom podastiremo načela iskustvene i cjelovite nastave u komunikaciji s Biblijom. U trećem dijelu izlažemo didaktičko-metodičke elemente u pristupu Bibliji i neke suvremene metode vjeronaučnog rada s Biblijom. Dodatak potvrđuje središnjost biblijskih sadržaja u Planu i programu katoličkoga vjeronauka za osnovnu školu i nudi njihov pregled po razredima.The issue about the ways of communicating with the Bible is one of the burning issues and implies the categories of experience, relevance and life-orientation. It reads: In which way can the Bible offer a life-orientation to the present pupils? How can the pupils’ life-experience be relevant to that of a biblical man so that the biblical truth that God loves man becomes plausible to the pupils and relevant to life? This work answers to some of these questions from a didactic-methodological point of view. The first part is about the pedagogical role of the Bible in religious teaching. In the second part we present the principles of experiential and integral teaching in communication with the Bible. In the third part we set out the didactic-methodological elements in the approach to the Bible and also some contemporary methods of catechetic work with the Bible. The appendix confirms the central position of biblical contents in the Plan and Programme of the Catholic religious teaching for primary schools and offers a list of these according to the school classes
