Abstract

Ethics in Austria, like in the majority of European countries, is an alternative subject for Religious Education in the public school education system. Although this situation has lasted for more than two decades now, there is no social or political initiative to change it. This article presents the ETiK International study which was carried out in Vienna in 2014 by a team of scientists from Wiener Univeristät and Kirchliche Pädagogische Hochschule Wien/Krems. This article consists of four parts. The first offers a description of the legal as well as the social and cultural determinants of teaching Ethics and Religious Education in Austria. The second chapter introduces the research problems studied in the ETiK-International project. The last two chapters discuss the quantitive results (third one) and qualitative results (fourth) obtained in eleven high schools in Vienna.

Keywords:
