The aim of this study is to reach detailed information about what religious teaching is and how it is applied by starting from the practices of teachers who carry out religious teaching. This objective was tried to be achieved through case study method. The research was conducted on 4 case studies related to religious culture ethics course. These case studies were interpreted with the findings of educational sciences. The results of this research show that teachers of religious culture ethics have developed teaching styles that do not coincide with the findings of contemporary educational sciences.
