Abstract

The article presents the results of two interdisciplinary research projects carried out by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Community) in 2005-2010 by a group of pedagogues and theologians from the Humboldt University in Berlin. Their goal was to find the answers to two questions. The first one: How religious competence transferred during religion classes in public schools can be defined? The second one: How should this competence be measured? The result of the project work was creation and validation of a tool which can measure the effectiveness of religion teaching. Evangelical religion classes in public schools served as an example.
