Ways of Knowing: a Toolkit

Alongside the content of the study of (non)religion in the classroom, there is growing interest in also examining methods of study. Variously called ways of knowing, or (multi)disciplinary study, or knowing how, inducting students into these methodological skills is a challenge.
This book introduces ways of knowing and equips you to apply them in your classroom.
It includes:
• background to ‘ways of knowing’ and justification for their use
• ways of knowing as methods, including icons
• ways of knowing as disciplines
• examples of methods applied to handling texts
• details of a large-scale multidisciplinary study of non-religion, and the application of ways of knowing to analyse the findings.
