Kaftan, Iwona2026-03-032026-03-032008Seminare, 2008, Tom 25, s. 111-127.1232-8766https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/42053The article is devoted to applying the method of “the centre of work“ into teaching religion to mentally handicapped children. The research aims at presenting theoretical and practical usefulness of the method, introduced by M. Grzegorzewska into global teaching, in teaching religion actively to mentally handicapped pupils. The method of “the centre of work“ emerged from the method of “the centre of interest” by O. Decroly and it is regarded as the best method to work with the mentally handicapped learner as it is adjusted to his developmental needs, physical and psychical abilities. The method aims at the optimal, versatile psychophysical development of the child in modern conditions. It seems beneficial to add spiritual development of the learner into its assumptions. The author of the article is creatively looking for new teaching materials and new means of communication to motivate children to participate actively in religion lessons.polCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychkatecheza specjalnapedagogika specjalnakatechezapedagogikaniepełnosprawnośćniepełnosprawność umysłowaosoby niepełnosprawneosoby niepełnoprawne umysłowodziecidzieci niepełnosprawnedzieci niepełnosprawne umysłowonauczanie religiireligiaupośledzenieupośledzenie umysłowedzieci upośledzone umysłowolekcje religiispecial catechesisspecial pedagogycatechesispedagogydisabilitymental disabilitydisabled peoplementally disabled peoplechildrendisabled childrenmentally disabled childrenteaching religionreligionmental handicapmentally handicapped childrenreligion lessonsArticle
