Abstract

One of the environments of intellectually disabled children’s religious upbringing is school and religious education provided in it. Its main goal is to prepare these schoolchildren for participation in the broadly understood religious life. This article is devoted to teaching measures used during religious instruction lessons for the above-mentioned recipients because, if used correctly, they contribute to the effectiveness of the educational process. The article pays particular attention to their types, role, significance and rules for their use. They should be adjusted to the children’s age and intellectual capacity and to the contents of the religious education unit and the goals that the teacher intends to achieve.

There is no doubt that schoolchildren with intellectual disability have difficulty concentrating, and therefore require constant stimulation of interest using a variety of teaching measures. Their poorly developed memory and imagination require visual aids as well as various forms of play. In turn, their perceptual thinking explains the need for close contact with the object being learned through touch or observation. It is worth noting, however, that the teacher’s activities and teaching aids should be harmonised with each other so that their interaction can contribute to the achievement of the intended effects.
