In 2000 Campion High School, a Catholic, Jesuit, single-sex secondary school created and adopted the Grad-at-Grad statement as the school‘s expected school-wide learning results (ESLRs) and has articulated a need for a comprehensive, reliable assessment of these graduation outcomes. This case study used interviews, a survey, and participant observation to understand how the school has implemented and assessed the ESLRs since their inception. The study also thematically compared Jesuit educational philosophy to current theories of educative assessment and outcomes-centered curriculum development. Findings reveal that the school relies on a random, individual approach to curricular incorporation and has not incorporated the outcomes at the departmental level. Teachers at the school provide good role models for the Grad-at-Grad outcomes, and the Campus Ministry and Community Service programs provide meaningful learning experiences in relation to the outcomes. The school uses a variety of traditional assessment measures to assess students‘ growth toward the graduation outcomes. The study concluded that the school is in the middle of the implementation process and should utilize more professional development and the current theories of educative assessment and outcomes-centered curriculum design as it continues to implement and assess the ESLRs.

The dissertation is a study of the origins, development and contemporary manifestations of Christian retreats. It traces origins from the Biblical record until current retreats. Christian retreat is a period of withdrawal from usual activities to experience encounter with God through Christian prayer. Jesus' pattern of engagement in ministry and withdrawal is a vital basis for retreat. Other Biblical descriptions of retreat are studied. There is an examination of retreat experiences in Church history with a particular focus on monasticism, as a major expression of retreat life, and Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the modern retreat movement. Varieties of subsequent retreat types in the spiritualities of different traditions from the Protestant Reformation onwards are considered. The spectrum of study includes Protestant, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Pentecostal spiritualities. The study culminates in focusing on current Ignatian and other retreats in their many forms. This includes private devotions to lengthy periods of retreat. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / M.Th. (Christian Spirituality)

This thesis examines the Jesuit and Ignatian influence on the works of Juan Eusebio Nieremberg (1595-1658), who was a prolific and widely published author and a member of the Society of Jesus in Spain. He wrote several works across different literary genres both in Spanish and Latin, but was best known for his popular works in Spanish: two miscellanies of natural philosophy, Curiosa filosofía (1630) and Oculta filosofía (1633); a catechism, the Práctica del catecismo romano (1640); his ascetical treatises, especially De la diferencia entre lo temporal y eterno (1640); and his ‘advice-books’ to princes and nobles, most notably Causa y remedio de los males públicos (1642). As a member of the Jesuit Order, Nieremberg wrote these works with the intention to ‘save souls’, this being the main apostolic goal of the Society. While they provide people with knowledge (‘noticia’) – whether doctrinal, natural, spiritual, or political – these works teach readers to view human existence according to its true end: God’s will of salvation. All things of the temporal world are portrayed as a means to that end. In order to accomplish this goal, Nieremberg incorporates elements from Loyola’s Ejercicios espirituales (1548), the spiritual foundation of the Jesuit Order, and develops a rhetorical strategy which encourages readers to discern the will of God in the world they inhabit. He also develops this rhetoric according to some of the principal literary and artistic conventions of the seventeenth century, and provides an important example of how a prominent Jesuit writer came to express the apostolic and spiritual principles of his Order, but in the language and imagery of Spain’s Siglo de Oro.

Na comunidade científica, o termo rede foi utilizado pela primeira vez pelo matemático Leonard Euler, em 1736, em Königsberg. Também, este termo tem sido utilizado na Biologia, na Física, na Administração e nas Ciências Sociais, onde este trabalho vai apoiar-se para falar das redes sociais. Contudo, este trabalho buscará discutir as redes sociais na Educação. Na experiência que tenho desenvolvido com os colégios jesuítas no Brasil, tenho percebido que a distância geográfica entre os colégios, torna-se um fator limitador do desenvolvimento de um trabalho colaborativo, em rede, em nível nacional. Entretanto, as atuais tecnologias digitais, entre elas os ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem, a Web 2.0, os mundos virtuais em 3 dimensões, entre outros... podem contribuir para superar este limite, possibilitando a construção de uma forma de trabalhar colaborativamente, em projetos comuns. É a partir dessa constatação que surge o problema principal dessa dissertação, que consiste em investigar como se configuram e são potencializados os processos de formação continuada, em rede, na constituição de ECODI, permeados pelo Paradigma Pedagógico Inaciano (Contexto-Experiência-Reflexão-Ação-Avaliação), no âmbito dos Colégios Jesuítas através do Programa Loyola? Do problema principal, derivam os seguintes objetivos: que envolvem o conhecimento que os professores tem em relação a Pedagogia Inaciana, como trabalhar a PI em ECODIs e se o trabalho neste ambiente é uma forma de potencializar o trabalho em rede entre os docentes. Além disso, buscar-se- á verificar se este trabalho pode gerar uma aproximação maior entre os docentes e a geração digital. O método científico utilizado na pesquisa foi uma abordagem quali-quanti-quali, configurando-se de forma exploratória e utilizando os procedimentos técnicos do estudo de caso e classificada como uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Além disso, foi utilizada uma análise de conteúdo aplicada para analisar os chats e as imagens no curso ECODI Inaciano. Com isto, a pesquisa identificou que os docentes que participaram do curso tem uma compreensão satisfatória a respeito da Pedagogia Inaciana e com isso, conseguem trabalhar o tema em ECODIs, estabelecendo relações entre os temas. Também, depois de aprenderem como utilizar o metaverso, sentem-se muito a vontade para trabalhar em grupo, superando o limitador que é a distância geográfica. Além disso, um dos objetivos principais dos docentes ao fazer o curso é a busca de novas formas de ensinar e aprender para se trabalhar com a geração homo zapiens. / The term "network" has been used by different fields of knowledge. In the scientific community, the term network was first used by the mathematician Leonard Euler in 1736 in Königsberg. Also, the term has been used in biology, in physics, Administration and Social Sciences, where this work will rely on to speak of social networks. However, this paper aims to discuss social networking in Education. In the experience I have developed with the Jesuit schools in Brazil, I noticed that the geographical distance between the schools, becomes a factor limiting the development of a collaborative, networked, nationwide. However, current digital technologies, including virtual learning environments, Web 2.0, virtual worlds in three dimensions, among others... may help overcome this limit, allowing the construction of a way to work collaboratively on common projects. It is from this premise that comes the main problem of this dissertation, which is to investigate how to configure the processes are enhanced and continued training, networking, the provision of ECODI, permeated by the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (Context-ExperienceReflection-Action-Assessment), under the Schools Program through the Programa Loyola? The main problem, derive the following objectives: to involve the knowledge that teachers have in relation to Ignatian Pedagogy, how to work with Ignation Pedagogy into ECODIS and if the work in this environment is a way to promote networking among teachers. Moreover, it will seek to verify that this work can generate a closer contact between teachers and the digital generation. The scientific method used in this research was a qualitative-quantitative approach to quality by setting up an exploratory manner, using the technical procedures of the case study and classified as a documentary and bibliographical research. Furthermore, we used a content analysis applied to analyze the images and chats in the course ECODI Ignatian. With this, the survey showed that teachers who attended the course has a satisfactory understanding regarding the Ignatian Pedagogy and with that, get to work on the theme ECODIS in connecting themes. Also, after learning how to use the Metaverse, they feel very comfortable working together, overcoming the limitation is that the geographical distance. In addition, a major goal of teachers doing the course is the search for new ways of teaching and learning to work with the generation homo zapiens.

However, it does not intend to demonstrate that this work by Loyola is still relevant nowadays. We know it is, given that it has been continuously used since it was written. Neither does this work aim at explaining the spiritual exercises themselves, for they are self-explanatory in being realized within a person. I will rather bring up some aspects that may allow one to get to know Loyola in his context, his life, and his paths. It is in this common man of his time Iñigo that a transformation happened, which can also happen to any human being (including in our present time). Supporting this transformation are the spiritual exercises, an initiation method whose goal is a type of knowledge that does not result from education or science, but rather a type of knowledge that amounts to search for illumination and intimate contact with God. In order to present the content of Spiritual Exercises, we first show its making up, the influences it received, its internal structure, and specific subparts. We show that Iñigo s socio-historical context and the different types of influence he received contributed to the writing of Spiritual Exercises. To highlight its relevance at the present time, we resort to the reading Roland Barthes made of it, which enables us to understand why it can lead to the construction of a specific language that delimits one s subjectivity, thus allowing us more autonomy due to deeper self-knowledge. The present work is justified by the contemporary people s own quests for selfknowledge and something that transcend them, helping them to get out of that massification network that consumption society nourishes / O objetivo deste trabalho é examinar os Exercícios Espirituais de Inácio de Loyola, um pequeno livro escrito há 500 anos, e trazê-lo para a atualidade. No entanto, não se trata de demonstrar que ele é atual, pois já se sabe que ele é, pois seguiu sendo usado ininterruptamente desde o momento de sua confecção. Não se trata de explicar os Exercícios Espirituais, pois eles explicam-se a si mesmos, ao se fazerem na pessoa. Trata-se de levantar aspectos que possibilitem conhecer Inácio, em seu contexto, sua vida, seus caminhos e descaminhos, porque é nesse homem comum e do seu tempo, o Iñigo, que a transformação foi se dando, como pode dar-se também em qualquer ser humano comum e do seu tempo, como o de hoje. Para favorecer essa transformação estão os Exercícios Espirituais, um método de iniciação que tem como fim um conhecimento que não é de educação e nem de ciência, mas sim um conhecimento que é busca de iluminação e de contato íntimo com Deus. Para dar a conhecer o texto dos Exercícios Espirituais, foi feito um levantamento de como se deu sua construção, influências recebidas, sua estrutura interna e divisões que o compõem. Mostramos como o contexto sócio-histórico de Iñigo e as influências recebidas contribuem para a construção dos Exercícios Espirituais. Para fortalecer essa condição de sua atualidade, valemo-nos da leitura que Roland Barthes fez deste texto, numa análise que nos permite depreender porque eles podem levar à construção de uma língua própria, que marca e demarca a subjetividade de quem o faz permitindo-lhe maior autonomia, pois maior conhecimento de si. Justifica-se esse trabalho pela própria demanda do homem contemporâneo, necessitado de encontro consigo mesmo e de algo que o transcenda, ajudando-o a sair da rede de uma massificação que a sociedade de consumo favorece

No. of bitstreams: 1 Laez Barbosa Fonseca.pdf: 917553 bytes, checksum: 1bbac41b066dc7acbe129971ffc3f860 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-10-19 / Our reflection starts on the finding that school education is suffering a moment of tension and crisis. The origin and the explanation for this phenomenon can be found in the coexistence, in the school environment of two paradigms, both opposite and divergent: one from the unity and the one from multiplicity, each one with its own features built in distinguished cultural moments. The former in the Modern Age and the latter in the Post-Modern Age. Based on an anthropological understanding which finds the human being constituted by desire and pursuit, at the same time, from the unity and the from multiplicity, we propose a dialectical method as a tool for the understanding, the approach and the overcoming of the two antagonistic paradigms surpassing the harmful aspects and keeping the achievements of each one for the educational practice. Then, we present some discussions starting from the dialectic, seeking a synthesis between the unity and the multiplicity. At the end of the study, we investigate some aspects of the Ignatian Pedagogy - a pedagogical purpose of the Jesuit education - demonstrating, from its documents and its educational tradition, as it is itself, dialectically, facing, and overcoming of the mentioned tensions and the dynamic feature of the crisis in school education / A presente dissertação tem como ponto de partida a constatação de que a educação escolar vive um momento de tensão e crise. A origem e a explicação desse fenômeno encontram-se na coexistência, no ambiente escolar, de dois paradigmas, opostos e divergentes: o da unidade, e o da multiplicidade, com suas características próprias, tecidos em cenários culturais distintos. O primeiro, na Modernidade; o segundo, na Pós-modernidade. Partindo de uma compreensão antropológica que entende o ser humano como constituído pelo desejo e busca, ao mesmo tempo, de unidade e de multiplicidade, propomos o método dialético, como ferramenta, para a análise dos dois paradigmas, superando os aspectos nocivos e conservando as conquistas de cada um deles para a prática educativa. Em seguida, apresentamos algumas reflexões, a partir da dialética, buscando nelas a síntese entre unidade e multiplicidade. Ao término do trabalho, investigamos alguns aspectos da Pedagogia Inaciana - proposta pedagógica da educação jesuíta - demonstrando, a partir de seus documentos e da sua tradição educativa, como ela procede, dialeticamente, no enfrentamento, encaminhamento e superação das tensões e da crise, características do dinamismo presente na educação escolar

The purpose of this study was to assess how graduating students at St. Paul’s High School are fulfilling the characteristics of the Jesuit Secondary Education Association’s Profile of the Graduate at Graduation. These characteristics include being open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice. While these five characteristics are identified as desired traits for graduates of St. Paul’s, there has not yet been an evaluation process undertaken in order to gauge student attainment of these characteristics. The methodology involved a document analysis, a collection of data from the sixty-two JSEA schools’ websites, and four interviews with St. Paul’s graduates from 2014. The three-fold approach allowed for a deep understanding of the context and experience of the Profile. This allowed for a reflection that showed there is a successful outline for creating a culture where the Graduate at Graduation is central to the mission of JSEA schools, which in turn makes the characteristics attainable.

[pt] Homem para os outros: a mística trinitária de Pedro Arrupe e seu impacto na renovação eclesial dos séculos XX e XXI propõe a ressignificação da mística para os dias de hoje a partir da sua vida e missão. Este jesuíta, assim como outros místicos contemporâneos – Simone Weil, Etty Hillesum, Thomas Merton e Christian de Chergé – deixaram sua marca no século passado e são ainda hoje testemunho real da possibilidade de instalação do Reino de Deus na história. Todos esses místicos contemporâneos e também outros, alimentados por uma profunda experiência do inefável, foram fonte de luz e esperança para o mundo, mesmo em condições extremas de sofrimento. Pedro Arrupe viveu em um momento conturbado na história, atravessado pelas duas Grandes Guerras e pela Guerra Fria. Em sua época, também a Igreja enfrentava tempos de tensão interna tentando se adequar às mudanças de aggiornamento propostas pelo Concílio Vaticano II. Como Superior Geral da Companhia de Jesus, alimentado por uma mística particular e profunda, entendeu como sua a tarefa de colaborar com a proposta conciliar de abertura ao mundo. Sua vida foi um exemplo de doação aos outros e, entre as frentes de luta que assumiu, estão o compromisso da fé com a justiça e o diálogo com a cultura e as demais religiões, com atenção especial à questão dos refugiados e migrantes. Arrupe é considerado por muitos um profeta, além de seu tempo, e como tal foi incompreendido. As sementes que plantou, no entanto, frutificaram e encontraram solo fértil em muitos que conviveram ou foram mobilizados por ele. Um exemplo, é o próprio papa Francisco, também jesuíta e formado na mesma espiritualidade, que a partir da mesma base bíblica tenta hoje implementar pautas que foram caras a seu antigo superior. / [en] A Man for Others: Pedro Arrupe s trinitarian mystic and its impact on the twentieth and twenty-first century ecclesial renewal proposes the resignification of mystic for today s world based on his life and mission. The Jesuit priest Arrupe, as many other contemporary mystics, such as Simone Weil, Etty Hillusum, Thomas Merton and Christian de Chergé – left their mark on the last century and, even today, bear real witness to the possibilities of the establishment of God’s Reign in history. Those contemporary mystics, among others, fed by a deep experience of the ineffable, were sources of light and hope for the world, even in conditions of extreme suffering. Pedro Arrupe lived through a troubled moment in history, marked by World War I and World War II and by the Cold War. During his lifetime, even the Church faced periods of internal tension trying to adapt itself to the aggiornamento changes brought about by the Second Vatican Council. While serving as the Superior General of the Society of Jesus, supported by his own deep and private mystic, he took upon himself the task to collaborate with the Second Vatican Council proposal to open the Church to the world. His life was an example of commitment to working for those in need, and, among many of the battle fronts he had to face, we can mention the promotion of faith with justice and the dialog with other cultures and religions, with special emphasis on the plight of refugees and migrants. Arrupe is considered by many as a prophet ahead of his time, and, as such, often misunderstood. However, the seeds he planted did bear fruit and found fertile soil in many people that knew him and those who were touched by him. Pope Francis is a good example. He is also a Jesuit who shares the same spirituality, and tries to implement, based on the same Biblical basis, the guidelines that were dear to his former Superior General.
