Abstract (English): The following reflection article aims to address the topic of Religious Education in schools as a matter of public interest that has generated various tensions in Colombian society throughout history. To this end, it begins with an acknowledgement of the role of the Catholic Church in schools, from colonial times to the tensions that arose in the 19th century due to the incursion of pedagogical movements different from the hegemonic ones that proposed a process of secularization in the public sphere until the 1991 Constitution. Subsequently, the need to explore new proposals on the topic of religious education is raised. To this end, five master's degree theses published between 2021 and 2024 were selected. Common and differentiating elements were identified, as well as relevant aspects related to religious freedom, the need for teacher training in Religious Education, and the promotion of civic competencies. For this, we start from the paradigm of qualitative research, which as Bonilla and Sehk (2005) state, attempts to make a global approach by carrying out an exploration, description and understanding of the social situations to be studied. Finally, this paper seeks to highlight the demands placed on the subject of religion in schools, highlighting the urgent need for pedagogical practices that respond to the problems of today's society, linking civic competencies and religious practices from the perspective of respect for difference as a constitutive element of democratic societies.

Abstract (Spanish): El siguiente artículo de reflexión pretende abordar el tema de la Educación religiosa en la escuela como un asunto de interés público que ha generado diversas tensiones en la sociedad colombiana a lo largo de la historia, para lo cual, se inicia con el reconocimiento del papel de la Iglesia católica en la escuela, desde la colonia, hasta las tensiones que se dieron en el XIX ante la incursión de movimientos pedagógicos diferentes a los hegemónicos que plantean un proceso de secularización en la esfera de lo público hasta la Constitución de 1991. Posteriormente, se plantea la necesidad de explorar nuevas propuestas en el tema de la Educación religiosa, para ello se seleccionaron 5 trabajos de grado de maestría publicados entre el año 2021 y 2024, se identificaron elementos comunes y diferenciadores, así como aspectos relevantes en relación con la libertad religiosa, la necesidad de la formación del maestro en la Educación religiosa y el fomento de las competencias ciudadanas. Para esto, se parte del paradigma de la investigación cualitativa, el cual como manifiesta Bonilla y Sehk (2005), intenta hacer una aproximación global efectuando una exploración, descripción y comprensión de las situaciones sociales a estudiar. Finalmente, este trabajo busca poner en evidencia las exigencias que encierra la asignatura de religión en la escuela, señalando las urgencias de prácticas pedagógicas que respondan a las problemáticas de la sociedad actual, vinculando las competencias ciudadanas y los hechos religiosos desde propuesta por el respeto a la diferencia como elemento constitutivo de las sociedades democráticas.
