Sammanfattning

This paper deals how some teachers think regarding teaching religion in a Swedish upper secondary school in Sweden. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the possible issues that teachers face concerning the syllabus by means of an interview study. The main question if there is any specific challenges that teachers go trough in their teaching experience in the first coarse in religion for upper secondary school. If there is challenges, then what is it and can they be managed? My theory is interactionism and is about how the individuals interact with eachother and not about the individual person in the society. The purpose of my essay is to describe and analyze religious teachers experiences of their teaching, their didactic considerations and as teaching practice, in religious education in upper secondary school. What is the conclusion? The main obsticles all the teachers face is how the content in the course syllabus is too vast and intricate so fifty points for the whole course is simply to little. Religious science teachers want to raise the coarse points from fifty to 100 points.
