Özet:

Religious education formed by the combination of the words "religion" and "education" is the teaching of both religious dogmas and rituals as well as the organization of human life, the provision of religious culture and the provision of religious personality. Religious education, which has a religious and social purpose, aims to correctly respond to the individual’s religious needs, questions and expectations, to have a religious understanding away from the hurafe and the false beliefs, to solve problems. In this context, the various principles established by the religion contribute to the development of the individual’s positive perspective on the problems faced. In reducing the negative effects of the problems encountered in the youth period, which constitutes the most critical or the most problematic period of human life, the individual’s mental well-being can be functionally benefited from religious education. This is the role of religious education in dealing with these problems by identifying the current problems that young people face. The study was addressed by an imaginary approach, which is one of the quantum research patterns. Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University has formed a sample of the study of 405 students studying at the University of Zonguldak. The study found that the majority of students/young people have a positive view on religious education, and that religious education contributes significantly to their problems.
