<p>This essay is about Abrahams children and its teaching method the IE- method. The purpose of this essay is to see what four teachers who use the method in their teaching think about it. To get an idea of how these teachers are working with the IE- method, I interviewed them. What are the pros and cons, is it a good way to teach religion? In addition, I look at how the IE- method follows the Lpo94 values and goals. I want in my study to answer these questions:</p><p>1. How is the IE- method used in the classroom?</p><p>2. Is it a good way to teach religion in substance? Can you use the IE- method in other school subjects?</p><p>3. What do the teachers think about the IE- method? The pros and cons?</p><p>4. Does the IE-method meets the requirements of Lpo94? About values and goals?</p><p>5. Is this a teaching method that I could work with in my future work as a teacher?</p><p>To get the answers to my questions, I have been using the interviews in addition to observations of the IE- method in a classroom. And I've also read books and essays on the IE method. The theories I am using is Hjalmar Sunden's role theory, Ulla Holm's empathy theory and Kieran Egan theory about teaching as storytelling. I have linked together these theories with the information I have received through the interviews and my observations.</p><p>With this study, I have been able to see how much the IE-method is popular among children and teachers who use it. The advantage of this method is that it includes all three Abrahamic religions, and among the students I have observed, this has been seen as something positive. The disadvantage with the IE- method is that if we as teachers are going to use it we should know our students very well, where the stories that can become very sensitive.</p>
