This study was designed to examine: (1) the extent to which cheating occurs in fundamentalist Christian colleges; (2) the attitudes of fundamentalist Christian college students toward cheating; (3) attitudes of fundamentalist Christian college students toward cheating among their peers; (4) the kinds of cheating practices of fundamentalist Christian college students; (5) the degree to which students engage in neutralizing behavior to justify cheating; (6) differences in cheating behaviors according to gender; (7) differences in cheating behaviors according to ethnicity; and (8) differences in cheating behaviors according to the length of duration of Christian commitment. Based upon the responses of 337 students attending 3 different Christian colleges, it was concluded that: (1) most Christian fundamentalist students do not engage in cheating; (2) respondents believe that each of 17 self-reported cheating behaviors are serious forms of cheating; (3) respondents are unlikely to report cheating among peers; (4) plagiarism is the most common cheating behavior; (5) most respondents justify cheating on the basis of the workload at school and the pressure to obtain good grades; (6) there are no differences in cheating behavior according to gender; (7) there are differences in cheating behavior according to groups; and (8) most respondents do not cheat regardless of the self-reported duration of Christian commitment.

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.

The purpose of this study was to describe what Christian education programs were like in Black congregations of the Church of God (Anderson, IN) which were served by graduates of Bay Ridge Christian College or were located in Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi. The researcher, a Christian education professor at Bay Ridge Christian College which is located in Kendleton, Texas, used the description to assist in curriculum development at the College. A nine page research instrument was designed and distributed to sixty-three pastors in the constituentgroups. The data were provided from twenty-eight respondents, all pastors. The data were analyzed in four major categories: Demographics and Pastoral Role, Congregational Data, Status of Christian Education Ministries, and General Concerns. The data were used to test eighteen hypotheses. The study indicated the majority of the pastors were bi-vocational in urban settings. They considered preaching, teaching, and administration as their (Anderson, IN), the Sunday School in Churches, and Bay Ridge Christian College the thesis. Southern Black were included in primary pastoral responsibilities. In the churches, volunteers were responsible for the Christian education programs. The programs did not have written goals and objectives but provided a variety of programs for all age groups in addition to the Sunday School classes. The congregations represented by the respondents provided and encouraged leadership development. They used Sunday School curriculum published by Warner Press, the Church of God Publishing Company in Anderson, Indiana; but did not find the materials distributed by the Board of Christian Education in Anderson to be useful to their local programs. The respondents indicated Bay Ridge Christian College could serve them by providing workshops in the following areas: children's ministries, administration of Christian Education, use of audio-visual aids, youth ministry, and Sunday School growth and development. They also expressed a desire to know more of the content of The Bible and for help in Bible study skills. The study concluded with recommendations to the Christian Education Department at Bay Ridge Christian College, the Administration of Bay Ridge Christian College, and the Board of Christian Education of the Church of God located in Anderson, Indiana and the Board of Christian Education of the National Association of the Church of God located in West Middlesex, Pennsylvania. Brief histories of the Black constituency of the Church of God (Anderson, IN), the Sunday School in Southern Black Churches, and Bay Ridge Christian College were included in this thesis. / Department of Educational Administration and Supervision
