Description

The article's central design recommendation is that tolerance results are achieved through immersion of students in the content of a special course, with the article stating "Results can be achieved under certain pedagogical conditions and particularly using the effect of immersion of students in the content of a special «Religions of the region under study» course." The course ran 292 hours (144 class hours) over an annual cycle, was regular and obligatory, and used active forms with didactically activating elements. The authors frame this as usable in state programs for preventing ethnic and confessional contradictions and extremism.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • The number of Muslim students in the group should be significantly less than 50% of its composition (preferably up to 25–30%)
  • A group of 8–15 people is seen the best possible
  • Classes should cover quite a long period of time (annual cycle), be regular and obligatory
  • Professors must be of high qualification and a certain authority, and should not be deeply religious; clergy should not teach confessional-cycle subjects

Constraints

  • The approach is not very effective for students with a high level of religious addiction
  • It is cost-consuming in the extent and form present in the experiment
  • The methodology was insufficiently effective when used incidentally in another discipline with Muslims at 50% of the group

Target Learners

  • University students aged 17–20 in Regional studies and humanities programs

Learning Goals

  • Confessional and interethnic tolerance
  • Multicultural consciousness
  • Understanding of religions of the region
