The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which faith-based preschools promote spiritual development in preschoolers. The participants in the study were faith-based early childhood teachers and administrators from seven states. Early childhood professionals representing 11 Christian faith traditions completed written surveys or online surveys. A total of 201 faith-based educators completed the survey; 20 respondents participated in semi-structured interviews. The concurrent triangulation mixed-method design provided data on 8 program dimensions which support children's spiritual development: prayer, Bible literacy, worship, building character, service opportunities, assessment, parental involvement and context. I analyzed quantitative data using descriptive and inferential statistics. All items were examined using mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentages. Qualitative data gathered from semi-structured interviews were coded and analyzed using NVivo8® qualitative analysis software (QSR International, Inc., Cambridge, MA, http://www.qsrinternational.com). From this data I identified the extent to which faith-based preschool programs support children's spiritual development through the practices of prayer, Bible literacy, worship, building character, service opportunities, assessment, parental involvement and context. Data analyses revealed statistically significant differences in faith-based teachers' hours of training in children's spiritual development across all program practice dimensions. A key finding of the study was that training in children's spiritual development is important regardless of the education level of the early childhood professional. Qualitative data indicated no standardized spiritual development training in faith-based preschools represented in this study. The mixed-method analysis revealed that the 8 program practice dimensions were not always connected in a framework that supported children's spiritual development. Recommendations for professional practice include a program framework to support children's spiritual development in faith-based preschool programs; training for faith-based early childhood professionals in children's spiritual development; and formulating a definition of children's spiritual development.

TITLE: Specifics of the Church grammar schools in the Czech Republic AUTHOR: Bc. Jan Pech DEPARTMENT: School Management Center SUPERVISOR: Mgr. et. Bc. Jiří Trunda ABSTRACT: The churches and religious denominations can become school and school facility founders. What are the specifics of the church schools from the management of education point of view, which this work deals with? And do these specifics actually exist? Do the tangible differences that clearly specify the church school against the school founded by the municipality, region or the union of municipalities exist? We will focus on the church grammar schools. There are twenty such grammar schools in the Czech Republic and almost all of them, were founded by the Roman Catholic Church. These institutions create a specific, not large group of schools that in addition to efforts to provide high-quality education strive for transfer of religious values. The work looks into the historical development of the church schools and describes their actual position in the regional education system. Then, using the qualitative research method - the analysis of the materials, it deals with the issues of the church schools management and capturing their specifics. KEYWORDS: church school, church grammar school, financing of the church schools, founder of the...

A Research Project Submitted to the Faculty of Education University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg for the Degree of Master of Education / THE COMMUNITY OF THE RESURRECTION'S INVOLVEMENT IN AFRICAN SCHOOLING ON THE WITWATERSRAND, FROM 1903 TO 1956 This research project is an historical reconstruction of the schools established and run by the Community of the Resurrection (CR) on the Witwatersrand from 1903 40 1956. The aim of this research is to contribute to knowledge and understanding of missionary education in South Africa, through a study of the educational work of this particular missionary body, as embodied in their schools. The report examines key aspects of the schools, including their financial and organizational structures, the education they offered and their ethos. The CR schools varied in physical size, numbers of pupils and level of sophistication, from the well established St Peter's Secondary School, to numerous one-roomed wood and iron shacks. Similarly, the products of these schools varied from well-known African leaders and academics to domestic servants. Although a definitive judgement on the merits of missionary education is not the focus of this study, the project concludes that the initial Eurocentric attitude of the CR towards Africans and their education was transformed to one of genuine sympathy and the CR brethren became leaders in the fight for equal education for Africans in the face of Government opposition. This project is based on primary source material located in the Church of the Province Archives of South Africa at the University of the Witwatersrand and is influenced by secondary sources such as historical works and theories on missionary education. as well as works by CR members themselves. / Andrew Chakane 2019

[Truncated abstract] Within the State of Western Australia, from its early years, education has been provided not only by the State, but also by religious denominations, particularly the Catholic Church, the Anglican Church and other Christian groups. This thesis is concerned with Anglican education in the State from the years 1917-92. The particular focus is on the structures established for the provision of Anglican education in the Diocese of Perth throughout the period. The central argument of the thesis is as follows. During the period 1917-92, the structures established for the provision of Anglican education in the Diocese of Perth changed across four subperiods: 1917-50, 1951-60, 1961-80 and 1981-92. During the first subperiod, provision was made under structures which allow for the schools which existed to be classified according to three ‘types’: ‘religious-order schools’, ‘parish schools’, and ‘schools of the Council for Church of England Schools’. The first two types continued during the second subperiod and were joined by two new types, namely, ‘Perth Diocesan Trustees’ schools’ and ‘synod schools’, while ‘schools of the Council for Church of England Schools’ceased as a type. During the third subperiod ‘synod schools’ continued as a type, but the other three types ceased to exist. At the same time, one new type emerged, namely, ‘schools of the Church of England Schools’ Trust’. During the fourth subperiod there were also two types of schools within the Diocese, but the situation was not the same as in the previous subperiod because while ‘synod schools’ continued as a type, ‘Perth Diocesan Trustees’ schools’ ceased to exist. Furthermore, a new type was established, namely ‘schools of the Anglican Schools Commission’. This two-type structure for provision which was established during the sub-period 1981-92, is still that which exists to the present day for the provision of Anglican education within the Diocese of Perth.

O estudo teve como propósito narrar o processo histórico do Colégio do Carmo, localizado em Caxias do Sul, abrangendo o período de 1908 a 1933, especialmente, no que se refere às práticas pedagógicas e rotinas escolares dessa instituição. O córpus empírico principal foi constituído de documentos escritos diversos, como correspondências, relatórios, regimentos internos, atas, publicações impressas em jornais locais e outros e também as fotografias, pertencentes ao acervo da Secretaria do Colégio do Carmo, além de documentos pertencentes ao Arquivo Histórico Municipal João Spadari Adami. As bases do estudo apresentadas nesta Dissertação de Mestrado em Educação pela Universidade de Caxias do Sul, compreendem a Linha de Pesquisa em História e Filosofia da Educação, narrando os primórdios da fundação do Colégio do Carmo pelos Irmãos Lassalistas em 1908 até o período de comemoração dos 25 anos de sua fundação, em 1933. O estudo foi estruturado em cinco capítulos. No primeiro estão apresentadas as considerações iniciais mencionando o tema, a revisão bibliográfica, enfatizando ainda o problema, a importância do estudo, os objetivos geral e específicos, as categorias analíticas e os procedimentos metodológicos adotados. No capítulo dois foi abordado o contexto político-social francês, as escolas cristãs, a expansão da obra lassalista pelo mundo, a história de Caxias e o projeto de uma escola cristã para meninos e moços em Caxias. No capítulo três foram narrados os indícios históricos de uma escola confessional com a chegada dos fundadores, as relações e as tensões entre a paróquia e os Irmãos Lassalistas, as transformações e as instalações do Colégio do Carmo e o ensino oferecido pela instituição no período de 1908 a 1933. No capítulo quatro são apresentadas as práticas pedagógicas e as rotinas escolares vivenciadas no Colégio do Carmo no recorte temporal indicado. No capítulo cinco que corresponde às considerações finais pode-se inferir que a fundação do Colégio Carmo em Caxias pelos Irmãos Lassalistas, a partir de 1908 pode ser considerada importante à sociedade caxiense, que carecia de uma instituição de ensino à época. A proposta educativa desenvolvida pelos Irmãos Lassalistas mostrou qualidade de ensino, no ambiente e disciplina escolar, bem como nas atividades educativas complementares e na participação dos alunos e familiares nas atividades religiosas, sociais e festivas no recorte temporal de 1908 a 1933. Portanto, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento educacional, político-social e cultural de Caxias e, também, para a disseminação do espírito comunitário, humano e fraterno, que ainda são próprios das comunidades cristãs, como é o caso do Município de Caxias do Sul. Neste sentido, a pesquisa mostrou que o Colégio do Carmo à época apresentava três pilares que nortearam as práticas pedagógicas e as rotinas escolares, no recorte temporal estudado: ensino de qualidade, com exigências aos alunos e aulas diferenciadas; disciplina como ponto de formação de bons profissionais; e a educação direcionada à religiosidade formando pessoas de caráter. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-11-12T17:36:23Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Vanessa Lazzaron.pdf: 23977317 bytes, checksum: 726d74228e1affec4a54929d2413cf19 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-11-12T17:36:24Z (GMT).

A pesquisa buscou compreender o processo histórico do Colégio Nossa Senhora de Lourdes, localizado em Farroupilha/RS, a fim de ampliar o conhecimento sobre a história da educação gaúcha e nacional. A investigação teve como categorias de análise as culturas escolares da instituição, os sujeitos e práticas no Ensino Primário. A instituição, fundada em 1917, pertence à Associação Educadora São Carlos das Irmãs Missionárias de São Carlos Borromeo Scalabrinianas de proveniência italiana. O recorte temporal do estudo é de 1922, ano em que ocorre a primeira mudança de endereço da instituição, até 1954, quando é autorizado o funcionamento do curso ginasial. Os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da História Cultural orientaram a análise, sobretudo com as contribuições dos historiadores Burke (1992, 2000), Le Goff (1996), Chartier (2002) e Pesavento (2008). Já para ancorar a compreensão das culturas escolares, contribuem Julia (2001), Viñao Frago e Escolano (2001), Vidal (2005, 2009) e Faria Filho (2007). Os principais documentos da investigação são: (a) documentos escritos (Livro Tombo da Paróquia Sagrado Coração de Jesus, livros de atas, exames finais do colégio e registros da vida apostólica de cinco professoras-religiosas), (b) fotografias e (c) história oral de sete sujeitos vinculados à instituição escolar (cinco ex-alunos e duas ex-professoras-religiosas). Porém, outras fontes foram utilizadas no decorrer da elaboração da narrativa como, por exemplo, o Relatório de Verificação Prévia para autorização do ginásio, jornais e documentos de acervos pessoais dos entrevistados. A narrativa realizada permitiu compreender o surgimento da instituição escolar no contexto local, bem como a emergência da Congregação das Irmãs Missionárias de São Carlos Borromeo Scalabrinianas, sua atuação no campo educacional e a expansão para o Rio Grande do Sul. Com relação aos sujeitos escolares, discentes, docentes e diretoras, foi possível perceber que os alunos trazem consigo marcas de etnicidade e cultura próprias deste local. O corpo docente, por sua vez, caracteriza-se por ser formado, principalmente por professoras-religiosas que têm como formação inicial a religiosa. Já a formação profissional, ela foi oportunizada pela congregação de diferentes formas (escola complementar, cursos de música, datilografia, dentre outros). As diretoras, irmãs da congregação, inicialmente não eram da região, mas essa realidade foi alterando-se com o passar do tempo. O cargo de diretora representa uma função que não é exclusiva e está aparentemente vinculada a outras hierarquias na congregação. As práticas escolares, analisadas a partir dos indícios e representações, permitiu perceber (a) a sala de aula como espaço privilegiado das práticas escolares, (b) as práticas de leitura e de escrita, como um fio condutor dos demais saberes, (c) permeados pela disciplina, ordem e religiosidade, e também (d) as formas de quantificar a aprendizagem. Tais práticas hibridizadas pelas ideias escolanovistas, legislações educacionais e pelo processo de nacionalização marcaram as culturas escolares da instituição pesquisada. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2016-12-23T11:17:09Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Gisele Belusso.pdf: 8382490 bytes, checksum: 478fe9d4b526ec4105d5f194bafe5b4d (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2016-12-23T11:17:09Z (GMT).

The teaching staff is mainly formed by religious-teachers which education is firstly religious. Professional education was made possible by the congregation in different forms (complementary school, music courses, dactylography, among others). Directors, congregation sisters, were initially not from the region, but this has changed a long time.

These practices, hybridized by “New School” ideas, by educational laws, and by the process of nationalization marked school cultures of the researched school.

The topic of this master thesis is focused on the analysis of NGOs in the field of education in the Central Bohemia Region. The thesis points out relationship and development of the private, public and non-profit sector in education. The goal is to capture the development of NGOs active in the field of education in the Central Bohemia Region, to identify their status, analyse the effectiveness of their activities and compare the current non-profit organization with a historic non-profit organization. The first part focuses on the historical development of NGOs in the field of education from 17. century. More specifically, it monitors development and changes in their institutional arrangements, legal environment and financing. Particularly is monitored Piarist college in Slany. Within the second part of work the current state of NGOs in the field of education in the Central Bohemia Region is analysed. It focuses on church schools and publicly beneficial organizations. This analysis is related to the performance of non-profit organizations, economic results and their justification in education.

M.Ed. / The world is currently in the grip of educational dilemmas of massive proportions. As a result of these various educational reform initiatives have been launched all seeking to remedy the ills in international public school systems. One of the reforms of this century is the establishment of evangelically Christian private schools. The research eminates from the confusion which is prevalent in South Africa with regards to what "Christian" education really is. White public schools are legislated to provide so-called "Christian" education; whilst evangelically Christian private schools claim they provide truly Christian education. There exists a need to distinguish between these two types of educational provision. This can only be done successfully, if the nature of each is scrutinised: it should provide the clue as to the reason why evangelically Christian private schools have increased with such urgency over the past few years. The primary purpose of this research is to discuss education from both a biblical and state perspective. In doing this the factors 'determining the founding of evangelically Christian private schools will be determined. Three fundamental structural elements of a Christian educational philosophy have been isolated into a model: these are the metaphysical, axiological and epistemological perspectives. The metaphysical foundation demands that education in order to be truly Christian, must be Christ-centred, evangelical and meta-cultural.
