Özet:

Developmental religious education is an educational activity formed in the framework of developments in the fields of psychology and educational sciences. In our study, the developments and theories in the field of psychology and pedagogics in the historic process are presented through the leading figures in this field. Studies in these fields are adapted to religious development and religious education. In this framework, our work has studied the methodology, principles and problems of religious education studies that move from the data of studies in psychology and educational sciences. As a method of our study, we have first studied the basic views of the theory-developing personalities in general development, then the theories of religious development and religious education developed based on them. Our work is based on literature scan and document examination. The primary sources related to the subject have been studied and their effects on religious education have been evaluated along with different field research. As a result, it was seen that religious education should be addressed together with the theories of development and programmed in the framework of scientific standards. It is obvious that such a religious education activity will have a positive contribution in many aspects. However, we need to note that the subject of religious development and education is limited to purely scientific standards, facing a problem such as neglecting the important components of religious education such as spirituality and sainthood.
