Participatory learning is one way for religious education at school to deal with studentsâ lack of religious experience. In this paper we analyze the impact of participatory learning on the attitude of students towards church buildings. We engaged 594 third graders (about 8 years old) in German primary schools in an instructional sequence about this building. We assigned students to two groups following different instructional techniques, namely field trips to the local church and multi-sensory methods in the classroom. Both learning environments realized the concept of participatory learning. Before and after the sequence we had all students fill in a questionnaire and answer eight questions from which we infer their attitude towards church buildings. Our results indicate that participatory learning has the power to affect the studentsâ attitude. However, these changes are independent of the instructional technique.
