Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
The theme of the research program, the theory and practice of moral and religious education, is studied from both a philosophical and historical perspective. The philosophical research on moral education focuses on the nature and justification of types of virtues, emotions and ideals that are to be cultivated or transmitted in moral education. The philosophical research on religious education concentrates on the concept of religious education (upbringing), the character of religious education at Christian primary and secondary schools and the way in which their identity should be conceived.
