QUINTERO TORRES, Fredy Alonso. Social Representations of Religious Instruction in a Plural Society. Educ. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.3, e2433.  Epub 11-Fev-2022. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2021.24.3.3.

This article presents the methodological procedure, findings, and results of a study on the social representations (SR) of religious instruction (RI) classes. It aims to glimpse and understand the components of the social knowledge found in the SRs of RI of students from two confessional schools in Bogotá and recognize the contributions of these SRs to consolidating a religious education with a pluralistic approach. The methodological process is mixed and builds on the SR study approaches, supplemented by procedural and structural perspectives that harmonize narrative and associative techniques to reveal the essential components of SRs. The results showed that the SRs of RI are structured mainly from Catholicism and pluralism and that the mixed methodological perspective complements the approaches for SR research, making it possible to know precisely and consistently the structural elements of the SRs of RI.
