Abstract

Being a teacher in Chile is subject to profound questions in various areas, both academic and social, expressed in an overemphasis on measuring everything an actor does. This situation is not different from what happens specifically to teachers and religion classes in Chile, especially considering the secular character of Chilean society. It raises a number of questions regarding the meaningfulness that the professional group would have in the formative work of future citizens. With a systematization of a series of meetings between teachers of religion and a survey, tensions and challenges in three areas designed to configure the sense of purpose of religion classes in Chile are analyzed: to consider the initial training, curriculum levels, and the level of practice within school institutions.
