The problem with which this study is concerned is the perception of faculty members at Free Methodist colleges regarding the integration of faith and learning in the total environment of their institution. In order to study this problem, the entire population of faculty was studied at Greenville College, Greenville, IL.; Roberts Wesleyan College, Rochester, N.Y.; Seattle Pacific University, Seattle, WA.; and Spring Arbor College, Spring Arbor, MI. The purposes of this study are fourfold: (1) to identify and to validate statements which describe individual criteria which must exist if integration of faith and learning is occurring on Christian college campuses; (2) to use these criterion statements in evaluating the perception of faculty at Free Methodist colleges concerning integration of faith and learning at their institutions; (3) to study the effect of age on the perception of integration of faith and learning among faculty; (4) to study the effect of the undergraduate alma mater on the perception of integration of faith and learning among faculty. An instrument containing forty-seven statements of criteria for integration of faith and learning was developed for this study and given to the faculty at the four institutions. Content validity was established by using nine experts in the Delphi Technique. Criterion-related validity was established by means of a discrimination study of faculty at Wheaton College and Southern Methodist University. A significant difference was found at the .01 level. A reliability coefficient of .93 was established through a test for internal consistency. Instruments were sent to 298 faculty representing all full-time faculty at the four schools under examination. The response rate was 49.7% or 148. Based on the findings of three hypotheses which were tested, it can be concluded that (1) age makes a difference in the perception of integration of faith and learning, (2) the four institutions under study are different in their effectiveness of integrating faith and learning, and (3) the undergraduate alma mater has no impact on the perception of integration of faith and learning.

This study is a historical and philosophical analysis of significant educational concepts John Wesley espoused during his lifetime from 1703-1791. Specifically this document examines Wesley's use of pedagogical and andragogical principles through the educational undertakings of the early Methodist movement.

An analysis of the United Methodist Church kindergarten curriculum has been made in this thesis in an attempt to determine to what extent the curriculum affrims personhood, The study is limited to six years of kindergarten curriculum, fall 1967 through summer 1973. The first objective is to examine the curriculum to discover the extent of affirmation of personhood in general. The second objective is to determine significant trends or changes over a six-year period of curriculum surveyed in terms of affirmation of personhood. The third objective is the recommendation of further changes in the curriculum so that it is more affirming of personhood.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Christiane Grace Guimarães da Silva.pdf: 1884302 bytes, checksum: 65e4d267b07f849e9df83782f1821f2f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-06-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Idealized by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the periodical ―Woman‟s Missionary Advocate‖, published monthly in the United States and without any interruptions between 1880 and 1910, used to receive information from the missionaries who reported their experiences in several parts of the world, including Brazil. Its first number was started in July, 1880 with 16 pages and its last edition was published in December, 1910 with 47 pages. The newspaper based on the saying ―from woman to woman‖ was totally managed by women and supported by annual subscriptions. Besides the actions of the missions in the educational field, it published, in full, the annual meetings of the Woman‘s Board of Foreign Mission and the several missionary activities accomplished in the mission fields. In the end of XIX century, several societies were organized with the purpose of becoming the activity of expanding Methodism more efficient and structured. Even the movement being led by men and considering the missionaries were married and their wives were consequently equally involved in this project, the scenario changes after the increase of the Woman's Missionary Societies that became an objective of great benefit at Church to take different positions and tasks, mainly in the establishment of schools. The purpose of this research is to study the North-American Methodist Missionary Movement in Brazil, in reference of the educational aspect, based on the woman's involvement. Through analysis procedures based on the Cultural History perspective, it is supported in the studies of Roger Chartier about practical notions and representations, and of Michel de Certeau in the distinction of the categories called tactics and strategies, in the study of the cultural practices. The Woman‟s Missionary Advocate, a diffusing newspaper about the Methodist missionary movement, especially with regard to the school education, was a privileged place of dissemination and defense of the Methodist missionary ideals in a historicity that highlights the women's role. Through its study was possible to defend the theses about the female protagonism in the Methodist missionary movement in Brazil, showing the women's effective involvement more than the direct action at schools / Idealizado pela Sociedade Missionária Estrangeira da Mulher da Igreja Metodista Episcopal do Sul, o periódico Woman‟s Missionary Advocate, publicado nos Estados Unidos mensalmente e sem interrupções entre 1880 e 1910, recebia informações das missionárias que relatavam suas experiências em diversas partes do mundo, inclusive do Brasil. Iniciando seu primeiro número em junho de 1880 com 16 páginas e tendo sua última edição publicada em dezembro de 1910 com 47 páginas, o periódico, baseado na máxima ―da mulher para a mulher‖, era dirigido integralmente por mulheres e mantido com assinaturas anuais. Divulgava, além das ações das missões no campo educacional, a íntegra das reuniões anuais do Conselho Missionário Estrangeiro da Mulher e as diversas atividades missionárias realizadas nos campos de missão. No final do século XIX, diversas sociedades foram organizadas com o objetivo de tornar mais eficiente e estruturada a atividade de expansão do metodismo. Mesmo que o movimento fosse liderado por homens, considerando que os missionários eram casados e suas esposas, por consequência, estavam igualmente envolvidas nesse projeto, o cenário muda após o incremento das Sociedades Missionárias Femininas, que se tornaram um alvo de grande interesse na Igreja para ocupar diferentes posições e trabalhos, especialmente na fundação das escolas. Esta pesquisa se propõe a examinar o movimento missionário metodista norte-americano no Brasil, no que tange seu aspecto educacional, tomando como base a participação da mulher. Com procedimentos de análise baseados na perspectiva da História Cultural, ampara-se nos estudos de Roger Chartier sobre noções de práticas e representações, e de Michel de Certeau na distinção das categorias denominadas como táticas e estratégias, no estudo das práticas culturais. O Woman‟s Missionary Advocate, como um periódico difusor do movimento missionário metodista, especialmente no que concerne à educação escolar, foi um espaço privilegiado de divulgação e defesa dos ideais missionários metodistas dentro de uma historicidade que destaca o papel da mulher. Seu estudo permitiu defender a tese do protagonismo feminino no movimento missionário metodista no Brasil, mostrando a participação efetiva das mulheres para além da atuação direta nas escolas
