معرفی
Angelique Heijstek-Hofman is a Researcher at Tilburg University, affiliated with the Tilburg School of Catholic Theology in the Department of Religion and Practice under a hospitality contract. Holding a Master of Arts (MA) degree, her work addresses the absence of worldview education in Dutch public secondary schools and its implications for personhood formation and citizenship development.
Her research interests focus on worldview education as a critical component of citizenship education, emphasizing how exposure to diverse religions, worldviews, and cultures enhances students' self-understanding and societal resilience. She advocates for person-oriented approaches to cultivate democratic participation and ethical identity in rapidly changing social contexts, bridging educational theory with practical implementation in secular school environments.
Analysis of her 2019-2024 publications reveals consistent exploration of structural integration strategies for worldview formation within public school curricula. Key trends include identifying motivational barriers to citizenship engagement, developing frameworks for inclusive worldview pedagogy, and addressing institutional challenges in secular education systems. Her interdisciplinary work connects educational policy, religious studies, and civic development to advance student-centered citizenship models.
No scientific awards or fellowships are documented in available sources.
Information regarding student supervision or research grants is absent from current records, though her collaborative publications suggest engagement with co-researchers like van Dijk-Groeneboer and van Amelsvoort.
No dedicated laboratories or research teams are specified; her 2019 participation in the Publieksdag Tilburg School of Catholic Theology & Symposium Religie en Samenleving indicates active involvement in institutional knowledge exchange initiatives.
