This study serves two aims: (1) to evaluate the results of role playing on relevant criteria, and (2) to evaluate these same results from the standpoint of a particular frame of reference, namely that of religious education.

Because of the enormity of the field [Christian education] and in order to be very specific the subject matter will be confined to the curricula of the Sunday Church Schools. More specifically, the aim is to examine the present-day emphases that are to be found in the curricula of Christian education and to offer suggestions for the blending of these emphases that will add to the force and effectiveness of the great job already being done in this area of Christian education.

However, specifying a bit more the issue, this work limited the scope of these discussions children´s sexuality, explicit in some materials made public at the national level by the Methodist Church and later in the practical context of their Sunday Schools, located in the ABC region of São Paulo, São Paulo state. Methodologically, the first moment of this research aims to understand the terms and concepts related to religion, sexuality and childhood. In this sense, there was a course record in this regard. They are then checked some official documents of the Methodist Church in relation of education, children and sexuality, in order to establish a dialogue with the practice observed in fieldwork and carried out through a questionnaire answered by the pastor local church, a teacher and ED children's ministry leader. Finally, the fourth chapter, it is a reflection on possible pastoral practices that value the questions about sex education for children. / Esta pesquisa pretende caracterizar a importância da educação sexual dentro dos projetos de educação cristã nas igrejas protestantes. Porém, especificando um pouco mais a questão, esse trabalho circunscreve essas discussões ao âmbito da sexualidade infantil, explicitados em alguns materiais tornados públicos em nível nacional pela Igreja Metodista e, posteriormente, no contexto da prática de suas Escolas Dominicais (ED), localizadas na região do ABC paulista (Santo André, São Bernardo do Campo e São Caetano do Sul), estado de São Paulo. Metodologicamente, o primeiro momento dessa pesquisa pretende compreender os termos e conceitos ligados a religião, a sexualidade e a infância. Neste sentido, realizou-se um trajeto histórico em relação ao tema. Em seguida, são verificados alguns documentos oficiais da Igreja Metodista em relação à educação, a criança e a sexualidade, a fim de se estabelecer um diálogo com a prática observada na pesquisa de campo e concretizada por meio de um questionário respondido pelo pastor(a) da igreja local, um professor(a) de ED e o(a) líder do ministério infantil.

In his trilogy: Help I m a Sunday School Teacher from 1997, Defeating the Sunday School Enemies from 1998 and The New Sunday School, The Usual Sunday School from 2001, Dornas introduces teachers to new possibilities on Sunday School. Nonetheless, in its pedagogical and theological tenets, Dornas proposal shows certain limitations in building a dialogical-liberating educational praxis which responds to contemporary challenges and needs. The proposal of this dissertation is to offer a critical reading of the pedagogical and theological tenets of Lécio Dornas proposal to the Sunday School of the Baptist Church, from the perspective of Paulo Freire and Juan Luis Segundo. Both will unveil a new approach to the Sunday School which intends to establish itself as praxis. / Quando olhamos o histórico da Escola Bíblica Dominical (EBD) no Brasil, com exceção do material produzido e trazido por missionários estadunidenses, até muito recentemente, apenas um brasileiro batista, Lécio Dornas, produziu literatura que auxiliasse pastores, líderes e professores nesta difícil tarefa da docência cristã. Em sua trilogia: Socorro sou Professor da Escola Dominical de 1997, Vencendo os Inimigos da Escola Dominical de 1998 e A Nova EBD, A EBD de Sempre de 2001, Dornas introduz o docente a novas possibilidades na EBD. Todavia, em seus pressupostos pedagógicos e teológicos, a proposta de Dornas evidencia algumas limitações para a construção de uma práxis educacional dialógico-libertadora que responda às necessidades e desafios contemporâneos. O objetivo desta dissertação é oferecer uma leitura crítica dos pressupostos pedagógicos e teológicos da proposta de Lécio Dornas para a EBD da Igreja Batista a partir de Paulo Freire e Juan Luis Segundo. Ambos revelarão uma nova abordagem para a EBD que pretende constituir-se como práxis.

The purpose of this study is to determine to what extent the teacher’ manual, The Methodist Teacher V-VI, Fall, Winter, and Spring 1964-65, published by the Graded Press, Nashville, Tennessee, succeeds in providing insights for church school teachers in understanding the developmental patterns of the late elementary years in order to encourage and guide the child intelligently in his Christian growth.

As outlined in this paper, Rotation Model (RM) Sunday school employs early childhood education practices. This study investigates the attitudes of parents, children's Sunday school leaders, and children in RM Sunday school compared to those in Non-Rotation Model (NRM) Sunday school. The purpose of the study was to determine if the attitudes of children and adults involved in RM were more positive than children and adults not participating in the model. Thirteen churches in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia participated in the study. Surveys rating attitudes toward Sunday school were completed by 100 children and 63 adults. Results showed no difference between attitudes toward Sunday school of the children in RM and NRM programs. Adults in this study involved in RM have significantly more positive attitudes toward children's Sunday school than those in NRM. Children's Sunday school attendance was reported for nine Sundays in order to study attendance patterns.
