Up until the 1950s, Catholic school principals were mainly priests, sisters, and brothers who were well grounded in theology, scripture, catechesis, and the Catholic social teachings they received during their formation. Conversely, lay principals who currently staff most Catholic high schools may not have this same Catholic formational training that helped to form the religious mission of schools in earlier years. Hence, this study was developed to investigate current Catholic school leadership models and the way principals' perceptions of leadership may impact the religious missions of Catholic schools. Additionally, the factor of generational diversity may contribute to differences in principal's perceptions of leadership. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate how current lay principals from two generational cohorts perceive their roles as leaders and how such perceptions impact the religious mission of their schools. To accomplish this investigation, the researcher employed three elements of the Catholic school leadership framework designated by the United States Catholic Conference (USCC), including educational, managerial, and spiritual leadership. These concepts constitute the framework through which this study examined the principals' perceptions of leadership in Catholic high schools. To collect the data and answer the research questions, this study utilized a qualitative methodology consisting of document analysis, observations, and interviews. To conduct the study, six principals from two generations were selected from Catholic high schools in a large diocese on the West Coast of the United States. Based on the research results, differences were discovered between the generational cohort known as the Baby Boomers and those known as the Xers, where Baby Boomers exhibited more future-focused perspectives and Xers demonstrated a strong focus on values. Baby Boomers also connected the religious mission of the school to the charisma of the founding order or congregation of their school, while Xers relied exclusively on the identity of the diocese. However, despite these generational differences, the study results show that the current principals have not only maintained and preserved the religious mission to a new level of forming peer Christian leadership among students and teachers.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Paula Maria de Assis.pdf: 1030437 bytes, checksum: 7a95639fb0aeefe8d1eff56b9a6b4ef4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-09-27 / The study object of this research is the investigation on Education of the Senses at Marist schools through particular pedagogic methods built up from senses mobilization and experimental practices, in the period between 1853 and 1860. The time stretch is justified by the period when the Guide des Écoles was in use at the Congregation s schools, which goes from 1853, date of the first edition resulting from the works of the Second General Chapter of the Marist Brothers Institute until 1961, when the Vatican II Council was called, bringing forth great changes in the Catholic Church organization, leading to changing the educational guidelines and causing the Guide to stop being used. The hypothesis is that the Marist Congregation coming from Europe brought modern pedagogic methods of their own, developed under the aegis of science, experience, the education of the senses, and the catholic morale as a way to keep its status quo, theoretically based upon Saint Thomas de Aquino s thought. The research understands that Marist schools, in the perspective of the catholic universe of education, identify themselves with the other Congregations once they have a common matrix, namely, the policies coming from Vatican (Rome) and which in spite of the specificities around their way of acting are similar as far as the Christian moral formation proposal goes, of a citizen committed to faith and active in the Church. The core question guiding the work is What methodological proposals back up the Education of the Senses at catholic schools? And, in this perspective, the study shall center the analysis of the manual developed for the Brothers formation the Guide des Écoles. This choice is owing to modernity in the presentation of its method and the context in which it was developed, this being the core research source. The theoretical references to the analysis of this research are Peter Gay, E.P.Thompson and Arno Mayer / O objeto de estudo desta pesquisa é investigar a Educação dos Sentidos nas escolas Maristas por meio de métodos pedagógicos específicos construídos a partir da mobilização dos sentidos e das práticas experimentais, no período que se estende entre os anos de 1853 e 1960. O recorte temporal justifica-se pelo período em que o Guide des Écoles esteve em uso nas escolas da Congregação que vai do ano de 1853, data primeira edição - fruto dos trabalhos do Segundo Capítulo Geral do Instituto dos Irmãos Maristas - e se estende até o ano de 1961, ano em que foi convocado o Concílio Vaticano II quando a organização da Igreja Católica sofreu grandes mudanças o que acabou por alterar as diretrizes educacionais colocando o Guia em desuso. A hipótese é a de que a Congregação Marista vinda da Europa trouxe para o Brasil, métodos pedagógicos próprios e modernos, desenvolvidos sob a égide da ciência, da experiência, da educação dos sentidos e da moral católica, como forma de manutenção de seu status quo, tendo como base teórica o pensamento de Santo Tomás de Aquino. A pesquisa entende que as escolas Maristas, dentro de uma perspectiva do universo católico de educação, se identificam com as demais Congregações uma vez que têm uma matriz comum que são as políticas vindas do Vaticano (Roma) e que, apesar das especificidades em torno de suas formas de agir, são semelhantes no que diz respeito ao propósito da formação moral cristã, de um cidadão comprometido com a fé e atuante dentro da Igreja. A pergunta central que norteia o trabalho é: Quais são as propostas metodológicas que sustentam a Educação dos Sentidos nas escolas católicas? E nessa perspectiva, o estudo vai centrar a análise do manual desenvolvido para a formação dos Irmãos o Guide des Écoles. Essa escolha se deve à modernidade na apresentação de seu método, e ao contexto no qual foi elaborado, sendo este a fonte de pesquisa principal.

This study, based on survey and interview data, seeks to understand how and why teachers in Catholic schools can be supported in their own spiritual development. The research describes and suggests ways to support and nurture spiritual formation for those who accept the vocation of teaching in Catholic schools. Employing survey and interview methods, this inquiry is philosophically rooted in four Lonergan precepts of human consciousness. Be attentive; be intelligent; be reasonable; be responsible. The study begins with attentiveness to the researcher's personal experience followed by an attending to the literature relevant to that lived situation. The formation of an intelligent inquiry into the questions arising from the named experiences deepens into a reasonable and responsible summary of the knowledge gained through the research. Teachers from a small urban/rural Catholic school district were surveyed. Of the 267 surveys distributed, 112 were completed and returned (42%). From those surveyed, five volunteers were selected to be interviewed, responding to nine questions regarding spiritual formation and the factors contributing to it. Recommendations that may nurture the spiritual development of teachers in Catholic schools are put forth in the concluding chapter of the thesis. These include recognizing teaching as ministry and supporting it as such; remaining attentive to the life questions of those in the vocation of teaching; leadership through example and witness; and nurturing the building of rich, authentic relationships in the school community. / x, 143 leaves ; 28 cm.

FundaÃÃo de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Piauà / Os ColÃgios CatÃlicos tiveram participaÃÃo decisiva no processo de reconfiguraÃÃo dos papÃis sociais, especialmente os femininos, porque apresentaram e representaram para as mulheres (mesmo para as que nÃo fizeram parte de seu alunado) a possibilidade de uma formaÃÃo intelectual e profissional que levou a ampliaÃÃo e diversificaÃÃo da inserÃÃo e atuaÃÃo social destas, antes restrita ao ambiente domÃstico e aos papÃis de esposa e mÃe. Para demonstrar esta conseqÃÃncia da aÃÃo educacional da Igreja CatÃlicas â e cientes de que os processos sociais e as aÃÃes dos indivÃduos sociais estÃo num contÃnuo entrelaÃamento â tomamos como objeto de estudo os ColÃgios das IrmÃs Catarinas no Piauà (1906 a 1973) e analisamos como se deu os processos de educaÃÃo, inserÃÃo e posicionamento social das ex-alunas destas instituiÃÃes. Estudando a HistÃria da EducaÃÃo feminina piauiense, concentramos a pesquisa na Ãrea da HistÃria das InstituiÃÃes Escolares Confessionais apoiados nos referenciais teÃrico-metodolÃgicos emanados da HistÃria Cultural e da Sociologia HistÃrica â o que nos possibilitou utilizar diferenciadas fontes histÃricas (documentais, hemerogrÃficas, iconogrÃficas e relatos de ex-alunas) â confirmamos que sob o aparente silÃncio, respeito e manutenÃÃo da configuraÃÃo social vigente as alunas dos ColÃgios Confessionais CatÃlicos contribuÃram sem estardalhaÃos e, de forma decisiva, para a alteraÃÃo da posiÃÃo e papÃis sociais das mulheres na sociedade piauiense â e por extensÃo nordestina e brasileira â manifestaram formas de insubordinaÃÃo, produziram estratÃgias que, por vezes, desembocaram na transformaÃÃo (em geral lenta e progressiva) da figuraÃÃo social. E, apesar de estas mulheres terem empreendido muitas transformaÃÃes nos papÃis sociais, nÃo se alijaram de âdonsâ e âvocaÃÃesâ femininas da religiosidade, maternagem, docilidade, famÃlia e do casamento, ainda presentes em seu cotidiano e resultante dos anos de formaÃÃo intelectual, social e religiosa adquiridas nas escolas confessionais catÃlicas. / The Catholic Schools have had decisive participation in the reconfiguration process of the social roles specially the feminine ones because presented and represented to the women (even to the ones who havenÂt taken part of their pupils groups) the possibility of a profissional and intelectual development which conveyed the enlargement and diversification of the insertion and those womenÂs social performance, before limited to the home-circle and to the mothercraft and wifelike roles To demonstrate that consequence of the Catholic churches educational action â and aware whereof the social processes and the social individuals actions are in a continuous entrenchmentâ the Catarinas Sisters Schools in Piauà (from 1906 to 1973) were taken as object of this study and it was analyzed how the educational processes, insertion and social emplacement of the ex-students from those institutions were constituted. By studying the History of Piauiense Feminine Education this research was focused on the History of the Confessional Catholic based on the theoretical-methodological references emanated of the Cultural History and the Historical Sociology â which were important once it was possible to use different historical sources such as (documental hemerographics iconographic and ex-students reports) â it was confirmed that under an apparent silence respect and maintenance of the present social configuration the schoolgirls of the Catholic Confessional Schools contributed without fuss and in a decisive way to the changes of the womenÂs position and social roles in the piauiense society â and for brazilian and northeastern extension â made known ways of insubordination produced strategies that sometimes discharged in the transformation (slow but progressive) of the social configuration In spite of these women had taken upon lots of alterations of the social roles, they havenÂt untied the feminineÂs âgiftsâ and âvocationsâ of the religiosity motherhood, sweetness, family and marriage still in their daily activities and as a result of the years of intelectual social and religious development acquired in the catholic confessional schools
