The effect of Orthodox Jewish education on adolescent identity : a case studyHensman, Colleen Rose 31 January 2003 (has links)
Orthodox Jewish adolescents develop and mature within a very structured environment.
The aim of this study was to explore adolescent psychosocial identity development
within Orthodox Jewish education. The secondary focus was the nature of the religious
identity acquired through religious education, specifically Jewish Orthodox education.
The literature study explored adolescent identity and development (within Erikson's
framework), religious orientation and Orthodox Jewish education. The qualitative
research was conducted empirically, in the form of a case study of seven adolescents
from a single-sex Orthodox school based in Johannesburg. The themes that emerged
from the empirical study are as follows: the community; Orthodox Judaism; education;
parents, family and peers; adolescent and religious identity. The study indicated that
the participants' identity development is dominated by their religious psychosocial world
that paradoxically provides the structure that supports and complicates their identity
development. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Guidance and Counseling)
