Therefore, it was important to outline the genesis of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in its relationship with the Millerite Movement indicating the relevance of the work of Ellen G. White church in the development and institutionalization. Compounding the specter of Adventist denomination, we stopped in the origin and development of the Adventist educational system, showing that even when transplanted to Brazil maintained relations intertwined with education Protestant installed here, as well as the socio-historical invigorating season. As sketched in outline pedagogy Adventist provide the foundations on which rest the educational concepts of this confession, as well as guidelines that regulate and normalize relations pedagogical undertaken within the Adventist educational institutions. Only after we walk this path elements needed to safely approach the object of our study, the subjects offered in Higher Education confessional this confessional education system. Our theoretical framework has contributed to the sedimentary multidisciplinary perspective that shapes our research. The results show that education in this school system is mapped out for evangelistic purposes, so the ER as is taught at the university level is effective as an instrument of catechesis / doctrination, which in turn shows a markedly denominational previous guidance in curriculum construction. So, the pedagogical relations undertaken in the ER teaching this grade level are asymmetric and earn more defined contours in the homogenization of differences and developments in the hierarchy of knowledge / Esta dissertação é balizada por uma pesquisa bibliográfico-documental acerca da presença do Ensino Religioso no Ensino Superior da educação adventista. Para tanto, foi relevante esboçar a gênese da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia em sua relação com o Movimento Milerita apontando a relevância da atuação de Ellen G. White no desenvolvimento e institucionalização denominacional. Compondo o espectro da Denominação, detivemo-nos na origem e desenvolvimento do sistema educacional adventista, evidenciando que o mesmo ao transplantar-se para o Brasil manteve relações imbricadas com a educação protestante aqui instalada, como também com as condições sócio-históricas vigorantes na época. Ao esboçarmos em linhas gerais a pedagogia adventista oferecemos os fundamentos sobre os quais repousam as concepções educacionais desta confissão, bem como as diretrizes que regulam e normatizam as relações pedagógicas empreendidas no interior das instituições educacionais adventistas. Somente após percorrer este trajeto tivemos os elementos necessários para aproximarmos com segurança do nosso objeto de estudo, as disciplinas confessionais ofertadas no Ensino Superior deste sistema de ensino confessional. A nossa fundamentação teórica contribuiu para sedimentar a perspectiva multidisciplinar que configura nossa pesquisa. Os resultados atestam que a educação neste sistema de ensino é balizada por propósitos evangelizadores, de forma que o ER conforme é ministrado no nível universitário se efetiva como instrumento de catequese/doutrinação, o que por sua vez evidencia uma orientação prévia marcadamente denominacional na construção curricular. Assim que, as relações pedagógicas empreendidas no magistério do ER neste nível escolar são assimétricas e ganham contornos mais definidos na homogeneização das diferenças e nos desdobramentos da hierarquização dos conhecimentos

For that purpose, it offers an analysis of the evaluation process with emphasis on the assessment tool used by Adventist elementary schools in São Paulo, considering that Adventist education has become a consistent part within the structure of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The main goal for this study was to understand how the Adventist Educational Network undertakes its institutional assessment. The research method included a literature review of the main theoreticians of public policies, private education, and institutional evaluation. It also included a documentary examination of the assessment tool used in the institutional evaluation process. The study also focuses the historical context of the development of private schools in Brazil, highlighting relevant aspects of their relationship with the State. It also briefly presents the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the United States (US) and in Brazil, in order to contextualize the emergence of the Adventist educational system, as well as its educational philosophy, seeking to understand the origins of this religious group that operates for more than a century in the Brazilian educational scenario. The study then discusses important aspects of institutional evaluations. Finally, it presents a summary of the evaluation process and an analytical description of the institutional assessment tool for SDA elementary schools. In the end, no indications that the Adventist concept of educational evaluation is different from traditional approaches were found. However, the Adventist concept of institutional assessment shows more strongly a concern for maintaining a continuous and systematic evaluation process. / O tema desta dissertação é a Avaliação Institucional da Educação Básica. Para tal, faz-se a análise do processo de avaliação, com ênfase no instrumento utilizado pelas Escolas Adventistas de nível básico do estado de São Paulo, considerando que a educação adventista se tornou uma parte consistente dentro da estrutura da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia. Procurou-se, neste trabalho, como objetivo geral, compreender como se configura a prática da avaliação institucional das escolas da Rede Adventista de Educação. O método da investigação incluiu análise bibliográfica dos principais teóricos da área de políticas públicas e do sistema privado bem como da avaliação institucional, seguido de exame documental do instrumento utilizado no processo de avaliação institucional. O estudo resgata a contextualização histórica do desenvolvimento da escola privada, destacando aspectos relevantes de sua relação com o Estado. Também apresenta brevemente a história da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia (IASD) nos Estados Unidos (EUA) e no Brasil, de modo a situar o surgimento do sistema educacional adventista, bem como a sua filosofia de ensino, buscando conhecer as origens desse grupo religioso que há mais de um século atua no cenário educacional brasileiro. Em seguida, aborda aspectos da Avaliação Institucional. Finalmente, apresenta-se uma síntese do processo e uma descrição analítica do instrumento de avaliação institucional das escolas de nível básico da Educação Adventista. Na conclusão do trabalho, não se encontraram indícios de que o conceito adventista de avaliação educacional seja diferente do das abordagens tradicionais. Entretanto, na concepção adventista de avaliação, existe mais fortemente a preocupação de se manter um processo de avaliação contínuo e sistemático.

We proposed four specific objectives, each of which became one of the chapters of this dissertation. These chapters have been guided by three hypothesis. The first suggested that Ellen White has characteristics that shape as a border thinker who lived on the frontier. Using theories of Walter Mignolo, Boaventura de Souza Santos and Gloria Anzaldúa, it was observed that in Ellen White there are traces of liminality manifests in life and different discourses, which sometimes went against the dominant thinking of the majority, but it was positive for the denomination. The second hypothesis of this study was the existence of three possible approaches that guide the concept of education by Ellen White: redemption, freedom and service. What was once just a bet was confirmed by the reading and analysis of key works of White. So that the full understanding of the Ellen White concepts of education requires an articulate reflection of these three themes. That is not enough that there is a separate reading them or even approach juxtaposed; it is necessary articulation. The third hypothesis was that if the theme of freedom is present in a convincing way in the writings of Ellen White, then we may think that her educational philosophy - and therefore the educational praxis - is directly conditioned by this approach. What can be said at the end of this research is that in the Ellen White writings freedom constitutes a kind of golden thread running through the various issues and hopes raised by the author, beginning with the story of the fall - which means the loss of freedom - and ending with the hopeful narrative of a perfect world - which ultimately responsible freedom is restored. Therefore, the Ellen White notion of education is driven by the issue of human freedom: freedom to think, to develop, to learn, to create, to serve, to let himself be redeemed.(AU) / O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi descrever e analisar os conceitos de redenção, liberdade e serviço nos escritos de Ellen Gould White (1827-1915), uma das fundadoras da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia, refletindo sobre as implicações para a práxis educacional. Foram propostos quatro objetivos específicos, cada um dos quais se transformou num dos capítulos desta tese. Esses capítulos foram norteados por três hipóteses. A primeira sugeria que Ellen White apresenta características que a configuram como uma pensadora liminar , que viveu na fronteira . Usando teorias de Walter Mignolo, Boaventura de Souza Santos e Gloria Anzaldúa, observou-se que em Ellen White há traços de liminaridade, manifestos numa vida e discursos diferentes, que algumas vezes contrariaram o pensamento da maioria dominante, mas que se demonstraram positivos para a denominação. A segunda hipótese deste trabalho dizia respeito à existência de três possíveis eixos que norteiam a noção whiteana de educação: redenção, liberdade e serviço. O que antes era apenas uma aposta confirmou-se pela leitura e análise de obras fundamentais de White. De modo que a compreensão plena da noção whiteana de educação requer uma reflexão articulada desses três temas. Ou seja, não é suficiente que haja uma leitura separada deles ou mesmo uma abordagem justaposta. É necessário articulação. Finalmente, a terceira hipótese dizia que se o tema da liberdade está presente de maneira convincente nos escritos de Ellen White, então se pode pensar que sua filosofia educacional e consequentemente a práxis pedagógica é diretamente condicionada por essa abordagem. O que pode ser dito ao término deste trabalho é que, nos escritos whiteanos, a liberdade constitui-se numa espécie de fio dourado que perpassa os diversos assuntos e esperanças abordadas pela autora, começando pela narrativa da queda que implica na perda da liberdade e terminando na narrativa esperançosa de um mundo perfeito onde finalmente a liberdade responsável será recuperada. Conseqüentemente, a noção whiteana de educação é movida pela temática da liberdade humana: liberdade para pensar, para se desenvolver, para aprender, para criar, para servir, para deixar-se ser redimido.(AU)

From this conception, we go through the history of Protestantism in Brazil, through the economy to politic and culture, to the influences of the new ideologies brought by the protestants in the education. In this context, we developed this study in order to seek the origin and the philosophy of the adventist education, preached by Ellen G. White, who is considered a prophet by the adventist church. This philosophy has successfully for more than a century. From this perspective we deal with the religion issue to be worked with the learning and teaching processes, regarded as an emergency in a kind of education that a person can become more human in one s relationship with others / Educação como obra missionária é um trabalho que procura por meio de analise de algumas obras, elaborar um conteúdo que possa auxiliar no pensar uma busca na qualidade da educação e também na qualidade de vida. A partir dessa concepção, passamos pela história do protestantismo no Brasil, bem como pela economia, a política e a cultura, e contribuição para a educação nas novas ideologias trazidas pelos protestantes. Nesse contexto, desenvolvemos este trabalho no sentido de buscar a origem e a filosofia educacional adventista, pregadas por Ellen G. White, considerada uma profetiza pela Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia, filosofia esta que atravessou mais de um século, chegando até aos nossos dias com tanto sucesso. Nessa perspectiva trabalhamos a questão da religião a ser inserida no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, vista como à emergência de uma educação que torne a pessoa mais humana em suas relações com os outros

This study discusses the contribution and influence of the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) Church to the development of post- secondary education in South Nyanza, Kenya. This has been done by focusing on the establishment and development of Kamagambo and Nyanchwa Adventist colleges whose history from 1971 to 2000 has been documented. This is a historical study which has utilized both the primary and secondary source of data. For better and clear insights into this topic, the study starts by discussing the coming of Christian missionaries to Africa. The missionaries who came to Africa introduced western education. The origin of the SDA church to Africa has also been documented. The SDA church was formed as a result of the Christian evangelical revivals in Europe. This called for the Christians to base their faith on the Bible. As people read various prophecies in the bible, they thought that what they read was to be fulfilled in their lifetime. From 1830s to 1840s preachers and lay people from widely different denominations United States of America around William Miller (1782-1849). This led to the establishment of the SDA Church in 1844. The study focuses on the coming of the SDA Missionaries to South-Nyanza. The efforts of the SDA Missionaries to introduce Western education in the said area, an endeavor which started at Gendia in 1906 has been discussed. From Gendia they established Wire mission and Kenyadoto mission in 1909. In 1912 Kamagambo and Nyanchwa, the subject of this study became mission and educational centres. The SDA mission, as was the case with other missionaries who evangelized South Nyanza, took the education of Africans as one of the most important goals for the process of African evangelization. The Adventist message penetrated the people of South Nyanza through their educational work. The conversion of the first converts can be ascribed to the desire for the education which accompanied the new religion. Kamagambo Adventist College became the first college in South Nyanza. Equally, Nyanchwa became the first college in the Gusii part of South Nyanza. The two colleges exercised a great influence on the local community especially in the socio-economic and educational fields. At the same time the colleges have also contributed enormously to the community’s development through the roles played by its alumni in society. Besides this, the study has also recommended some other pertinent areas for further study and research. / Educational Foundations / D. Ed. (History of Education)
