| Resumo: | In many religious education classrooms, the meaning of a sacred text is treated as something stable and authoritative. A teacher's job is to transmit that meaning to students. This study reports on a year-long intervention conducted in a seventh grade Hebrew Bible classroom in which students were asked to find their own meaning in the biblical text. The study found that religious text classrooms can offer a unique opportunity to support positive youth development when an effective interpretive community is created. |
