Teacher professional stance in the Québec ethics and religious culture programKnott, Natalie Kay January 2011 (has links)
2008 saw the implementation of a new Ethics and Religious Culture program in Québec classrooms. This program replaces the former religious and moral instruction courses and has the potential for being ground-breaking and transformative. In order to teach this program teachers are required to adopt a professional stance of objectivity and impartiality. Although a beginning exploration, this thesis demonstrates that cultural norms of Whiteness are impeding the successful implementation of the new ERC program. The majority of pre-service teachers are white, Christian and female who are unaware of privilege and who enter teaching with the objective to civilizing their students. Observations of and discussions with both pre-service and classroom teachers indicate a dialogue has begun and that more self-examination and critical reflection is necessary before this program can experience success. / En 2008, dans les écoles du Québec, on a mis en œuvre un nouveau programme d'éthique et de culture religieuse. Ce programme vient remplacer les anciens cours d'instruction religieuse et morale et pourrait être innovateur et transformateur. Il est requis que les enseignants qui enseigneront ce cours adoptent une attitude d'objectivité et d'impartialité.Bien que cette thèse ne soit qu'un début d'exploration, elle prouve que les normes culturelles de la blancheur nuisent au succès de la mise en œuvre du nouveau programme ÉCR. La plupart des professeurs qui ont l'intention d'enseigner le cours sont caucasiennes, chrétiennes et des femmes, qui ne sont pas conscientes des privilèges et se lancent dans l'enseignement dans le but de civiliser leurs élèves.L'observation des enseignants et enseignantes avant qu'ils ne commencent leur carrière et en cours de route, ainsi que les discussions avec eux et elles, indiquent qu'un dialogue a été amorcé et que plus de prise de conscience de soi et de réflexion critique seront nécessaires avant que ce programme ne puisse réussir.

The Confession of Cyprian of Antioch: introduction, text, and translationBailey, Ryan January 2009 (has links)
The first-person narrative of the Confession of Cyprian of Antioch, one of three principal witnesses to the fourth-century hagiographical romance of the pagan magician turned Christian bishop and martyr, has remained a largely unexploited resource for the study of late-antique Religionsgeschichte. The vivid details ofCyprian's occult curriculum vitae and public confession before the Christian audience of Antioch have languished in virtual obscurity due to the lack of a modern critical edition. This thesis offers a critical edition of the complete text of the Greek version, newly restored using previously unedited manuscript material.The introduction provides an overview of critical scholarship on the Confession, an examination of its sources and reception history, and an assessment of the manuscript evidence. The Greek text is accompanied by an English translation and explanatory notes. / Le récit à la première personne de la Confession de Cyprien d'Antioche, qui représente l'un des trois principaux témoins d'un roman hagiographique portant sur la vie de ce magicien païen du IVe siècle, devenu évêque chrétien etmartyr, demeure une ressource en grande partie inexploitée pour l'étude de la Religionsgeschichte de l'Antiquité tardive. Sans édition critique moderne, les détails saisissants du curriculum vitae occulte de Cyprien d'Antioche et sa confession publique devant l'auditoire chrétien d'Antioche sont demeurés pratiquement inconnus. Cette thèse propose une édition critique complète de la version grecque du texte, nouvellement restaurée grâce à l'utilisation de matériel scripturaire jusqu'ici inédit. L'introduction présente un survol de l'étude critique de la Confession, une analyse de ses sources et de l'histoire de la réception, de même qu'une évaluation critique des manuscrits. Le texte grec est accompagnée d'une traduction anglaise et de notes explicatives.

The impact of spiritual intelligence triggers and student engagement with the scriptural story on fourth grade Sunday School learnersMeekins, Katrina L. 28 August 2014 (has links)
<p> Sunday School is of the primary educational setting within the Protestant Christian church for teaching the faith and scriptural stories to children. Traditionally, the Sunday School classroom has utilized a schooling method curriculum that focuses on the logical and linguistic intelligences and seeks to impart scriptural knowledge through a story, an activity, and a craft or game. This study compares this traditional schooling method with that of a multiple intelligences triggered curriculum, especially the spiritual intelligence, curriculum for student engagement with the scriptural story. This study examines these two different curriculums within the fourth grade Sunday School classroom. Six classes were involved in the study; three participated in the traditional curriculum while three participated in the multiple intelligences triggered curriculum. Both curriculums reflected the same scriptural stories, which were taught over a six-week period of time. Following the six-week study, each class participated as a focus group to discuss the learners' experience during the study as well as their understandings of the scriptural stories. After the focus group, one student from each group was selected randomly to participate in an individual interview. Data from this study reflects the student engagement with the scriptural stories as well as the students' excitement about the activities within the curriculum. Activities and tasks within the curriculums illustrate the triggers for the multiple intelligences, especially the spiritual intelligence. Conclusions from the data illustrate that the multiple intelligence triggers, especially the spiritual intelligence triggers, provide for greater student understandings of the scriptural stories. </p>

Elementary school teachers and the ethics and religious culture coursePelchat, Alex January 2014 (has links)
In 2008, a new course entitled Ethics and Religious Culture was introduced in Quebec for students from first grade to secondary five, with the exception of secondary three students. The implementation of the course was controversial and many parents and private schools were vocal about their dissatisfaction with the new course. A certain number of teachers were also dissatisfied with the arrival of the new course. The following study focuses on the perceptions of elementary school teachers on the new Ethics and Religious Culture course. Unlike secondary school teachers who teach the course, elementary school teachers have limited training on the subject. Interviews and a focus group discussion were conducted with seventeen participants from March 2012 to June 2012. The results show that while the majority of participants agree with the course's objectives, the training offered for the course was seemingly insufficient since many participants question their level of knowledge on the subject or their ability to properly evaluate their students. / En 2008, un nouveau cours nommé Éthique et culture religieuse fut introduit au Québec pour les élèves de la première année jusqu'au cinquième secondaire, à l'exception des élèves du troisième secondaire. L'implantation du nouveau cours s'est fait dans la controverse et de nombreux parents et établissements scolaires privés firent connaître leur mécontentement par rapport au nouveau cours. Un certain nombre d'enseignants étaient également insatisfaits de l'arrivée de ce nouveau cours.L'étude présentée vise à mieux comprendre la perception des enseignants des écoles primaires par rapport au nouveau cours d'Éthique et culture religieuse. Contrairement aux enseignants spécialistes des écoles secondaires, les enseignants de l'école primaire ont une formation limitée sur le sujet. Des entrevues ainsi qu'une discussion de groupe furent conduite avec dix-sept participants entre mars 2012 et juin 2012. Les résultats démontrent que bien que la majorité des participants supportent les objectifs du cours, les formations offertes pour enseigner le cours étaient vraisemblablement insuffisantes puisque plusieurs participants doutent de leur niveau de connaissance sur le sujet ou de leur capacité à évaluer adéquatement leurs élèves.

Inside-out : a study of Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka and its social contributionGoldberg, Kory. January 2001 (has links)
This thesis explores the relationship between S. N. Goenka's technique of Vipassana meditation, an approach inspired by the Buddha designed for the liberation of human suffering, and constructive social engagement. The first chapter introduces the general field of Theravada Buddhist meditation practices to demonstrate how Goenka's approach conforms to and differs from traditional Theravada meditation. The second chapter provides an overview of Goenka's reformist movement, while the third chapter investigates his methods of dissemination and the supporting theories behind them in light of traditional Pali canonical sources. The final chapter examines the notion that social reparation depends on the alleviation of individual afllictive mental states. This claim is analysed through reports concerning the therapeutic effects of Vipassana on the practitioner, and through case-studies regarding the integration of the technique into the curriculums of various social institutions in the fields of health, corrections, and education.

Religious Similarity Among SiblingsField, Layton 02 October 2013 (has links)
For many individuals, religious development begins in the family. Previous
literature has confirmed this assumption and demonstrated that parents play a dominant
role in the development process. There is a gap in the current literature regarding how
other family members could also potentially contribute to religious development. This
project takes the first step towards understanding how siblings may influence religious
development by investigating the extent to which siblings share similar religiosity levels.
Hierarchical linear models are applied to data from the National Longitudinal Study of
Adolescent Health in order to assess whether siblings share similar religiosity levels.
This project also investigates potential explanations of this similarity.
The results of this thesis demonstrate that siblings share common levels of
religiosity. The similarity was still moderate after controlling for known predictors of
adolescent religiosity such as parental influence, religious affiliation, race, and age.
Sibling communication also explained a small proportion of sibling religious similarity.
The results of this project leave open the possibility that siblings may contribute to one
another’s religious development. Suggestions for future research are discussed.
