Art Chickering Klappentext When faculty unexpectedly encounter students' religious ideologies in the classroom, they may respond with apprehension, frustration, dread, or concern. This book explores what happens - and what can happen - in the higher education, and even secondary school, classroom when course content meets or collides with students' religious beliefs. Zusammenfassung This book is divided into three sections: student views on the role of religion in the classroom; general guidelines for responding to or actively engaging religious beliefs in courses (such as legal and diversity considerations); and specific examples from a number of disciplines.
