L'objectif de cette étude était de comprendre comment un district scolaire unifié californien de la maternelle à la terminale, très performant, s'engageait à mettre en ¿uvre les compétences du 21e siècle.

"Exploring the Philosophy of Religion "combines the best features of a text and a reader. Organized around seven topics, each of the 28readings is long enough to allow students to encounter first-hand the works of a major thinker.The introductions to the readings are clear and concise and help prepare students for meaningful class discussion.The topics begin with religious experience then transition to the relation of religion to life, to human destiny, and then on to arguments for God s existence and the problem of evil. The last two sections analyze the relationship between faith and reason and the nature of religious language."
