This chapter outlines the arrival of skills as a component in educational discourse on the British scene. It examines skills from a psychological perspective and mounts a critique of them that is philosophical as well as psychological. It concludes that skills discourse is often intellectually incoherent or inapplicable to Religious Education (RE).
