The problem of this reaserch was to understand in which aspects of religious´s offer done through the teaching instituition are perceived in the family relationship and with the community by the egressed students in the year of 1990. The choice of that reaserch object was given from the curiosity in relation to one denomination school that brings in its teaching practice religious rules, that, in the analized period, subsidized such as teaching actions of the school. The aiming was to analize from religious´s memories of the egressed students from Educandário Nossa Senhora do Rosário, year 1990, the aproachings and the detachments among the objectives suggested by the religious subject about family and community accordingly to the school´s schedule and the routine reality of the subjects how is perceived by them. The specific aims were: to describe the conception of denominational school by the egressed student´s part from Educandário Nossa Senhora do Rosário; to identify which of the objectives and religious subjects in relation to the family and community are developed in the teaching institution; to identify the point of view of the egressed students, the differential knowledge in religious education when in the insertion of the learner in other dimensions of society. In order to fulfil this reaserch was taken the qualitative aproach, having as a view a bibliographic survey allied area survey. As tool of data collecting, was taken some observation, semistructured interviews, documentary analizes and applied questionaries. The theorist who found this study were: Durkheim (1996); Brandão; Bosi (1994); Bourdieu (1998); Carvalho (1995); Laraia (2001); Martins (1989); and others.It was presented the track of teaching´s alternation since the beggining in France until the insertion in schools based in this purpose in Brazil, more specifically, in Goiás state. The study shows that, to the egressed students, the teaching actions of the school added to their formation in the fully developed life, such as to the maintenance and building of family worths. / Este estudo possui como tema o papel de uma escola confessional (O Educandário Nossa Senhora do Rosário) sob a perspectiva de alunos egressos. O problema de pesquisa foi entender quais aspectos da oferta religiosa feita através da instituição de ensino são percebidos na relação com a família e a comunidade pelos alunos egressos do ano de 1990. A escolha desse objeto de pesquisa se deu a partir da curiosidade em relação a uma escola confessional que traz em sua prática pedagógica princípios religiosos que, no período analisado, subsidiava as ações pedagógicas da escola. O objetivo geral foi analisar a partir da memória dos alunos egressos do Educandário Nossa Senhora do Rosário, ano 1990, as aproximações e os distanciamentos entre os objetivos propostos pelos conteúdos religiosos sobre família e comunidade conforme o programa da escola e a realidade cotidiana dos sujeitos, conforme percebida por eles. Os objetivos específicos foram: descrever a concepção de escola confessional por parte dos alunos egressos do Educandário Nossa Senhora do Rosário; identificar quais os objetivos e conteúdos religiosos em relação à família e comunidade são desenvolvidos na instituição de ensino; identificar, do ponto de vista dos alunos egressos, o diferencial na formação educacional religiosa quando na inserção do educando nas demais dimensões da sociedade. Para realizar esta pesquisa foi utilizada a abordagem qualitativa, tendo em vista a pesquisa bibliográfica aliada à pesquisa de campo. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados, foram utilizadas a observação, entrevistas semiestruturadas, análise documental e aplicação de questionários. Os teóricos que fundamentaram este estudo foram: Durkheim (1996); Brandão; Bosi (1994); Bourdieu (1998); Carvalho (1995); Laraia (2001); Martins (1989); entre outros. Foi apresentada a trajetória da pedagogia da alternância desde o surgimento na França à implantação de escolas fundamentadas nesta proposta no Brasil e, mais especificamente, no Estado de Goiás. O estudo revela que, para os alunos egressos, as ações pedagógicas da escola contribuíram para a formação deles na vida e adulta, bem como para a manutenção e construção de valores familiares.

O objetivo é investigar se os principais pressupostos da organização e do desenvolvimento curricular da referida escola favorecem o que Longhi (2005) defende como Ação Educativa na perspectiva do Agir Comunicativo de Jürgen Habermas. Trata-se de um estudo de caso único de natureza qualitativa. Estabelece-se um diálogo entre as teorias do currículo e a legislação para o ensino de matemática, tendo como referencial a Ação Educativa na perspectiva do Agir Comunicativo, pois, por se tratarem de crianças e adolescentes, não se pode esperar que o ideal da Ação Comunicativa se concretize, tal como supõe Habermas, para acontecer entre e por adultos. Os dados foram constituídos por meio de levantamento documental, no qual foram analisados Itinerários Propostos dos projetos, fichas de Comentário do Tutor e/ou Orientador Educativo sobre Atividade do aluno, fichas das auto avaliações dos alunos e o diário (caderno) de anotações do professor especialista da inteligência lógico-matemática. Foi também realizado um levantamento de práticas, no qual foram analisadas a escolha do projeto, a construção do Itinerário Proposto, a maneira como acontecem os plantões de aprendizagem e as Avaliativas formais e informais. As análises dos dados evidenciaram que ações desenvolvidas na Escola Maria Peregrina, tais como a maneira de abordar o Currículo de Matemática do Estado de São Paulo, a relação professor-aluno ao elaborar o Itinerário Proposto e o modo como é tratada a avaliação da aprendizagem, fazem da Ação Educativa uma possibilidade de Agir Comunicativo entre crianças e adolescentes. / This research has as its investigative scenario the Maria Peregrina School, a confessional school located in São José do Rio Preto, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The pedagogic program of the school is built on project-based learning. The objective of the study is to investigate if the main assumptions of the organization and curriculum development of the school offer ways to develop what Longhi (2005) states as Educational Action in the perspective of Communicative Action of Jürgen Habermas. This is a qualitative case study. The research explores a dialogue between curriculum theories and policies for mathematics teaching, regarding as theoretical framework the notion of Educational Action as Communicative Action. Since the participants are children and adolescents, the ideal of Communicative Action can not be expected to de materialized as Habermas supposes to happen between and by adults. The data were constituted by document analysis, which considered Project Itineraries, Tutor Comments and/or Educational Advisor on Student Activity, student self-assessment fact notes, and notebook (diary) of specialist teacher’s notes on logical-mathematical intelligence. It was also conducted a analysis of practices considering the choice of the project, the construction of the Proposed Itinerary, the way in which the learning sessions occur, and assessment and evaluation. The analysis of the data showed that actions developed at the Maria Peregrina School, such as the way to approach the Mathematics Curriculum of the State of São Paulo, the teacher-student relationship in elaborating the Proposed Itinerary and the way in which the evaluation of learning is handled, offered ways for Educational Action as a possibility of Communicative Action among children and adolescents.

Šio darbo problema formuluojama klausimu – kodėl žmonės XXI a. pradžioje, šiuolaikinėje visuomenėje, laikosi konfesinio evangelikų reformatų tikėjimo? Tyrimo metu buvo siekiama išsiaiškinti evangelikų reformatų religinio-konfesinio tapatumo aspektus, sąlygojusius būtent šios protestantiškos konfesinės atšakos atgaivinimo ir kaitos procesus. Tikslas - tyrinėti konfesinio tapatumo aspektus, skatinančius žmones XXI a. pradžioje laikytis konfesinio evangelikų reformatų tikėjimo. Tiriamojo darbo objektas – Evangelikų reformatų bendruomenė Kaune ir jos ypatumai.

During the investigation it was tried to clear out the aspects of the confessional identity of Evangelicals Reformers that had determined the processes of revival and alternation of exactly this branch of protestant confession. The purpose – to study the aspects of confessional identity, stimulating people at the beginning of the XXI century to keep to the confessional faith of Evangelicals Reformers. The object of my research – the community of Evangelicals Reformers on Kaunas and its peculiarities. Anthropological methods were used in the study: participant observation, semi- structured interview, and non formal conversations with the members of the Evangelicals Reformers parish in Kaunas, daily writing of a diary. The name of the institution and the names of the informers are real, the data for the sake of ethical consideration are depicted partially, describing the group of age and the geographical position of the origin.

A poetry thesis exploring issues of loss, death, creation, imagination, family, interpersonal relationships, nature, sexuality, and writing. The manuscript includes a preface that discusses literary influences such as Ai, H.D., and Sharon Olds, as well as writing in forms such as the dramatic monologue, imagistic poem, and confessional poem. Three main sections organize the manuscript's poems.

The aim of the study is to investigate the presentation of Christianity in relation to the other world religions in curricula and teaching materials from 1969 and 2011, as well as to investigate what influenced the development of these from previous researches. From a comparative method and self-formulated analytical categories, the results have been analyzed. As far as the curricula are concerned, it emerged that Christianity has had and still have a special position towards other world religions. As far as the teaching materials are concerned, a clear difference emerged as to which perspective it is based on. In the teaching material from year 1969, the non-Christian religions are highlighted as something strange and odd at the same time as in the teaching medium from 2011 they are highlighted neutral. Christianity is still a starting point in both curricula and teaching materials. The reason why curricula and teaching materials look like they do can, according to the study, be a result of the increased migration in the country but also a result of the religious freedom law. The school faces a dilemma where the school on the one hand will be based on Christian traditions and on the other hand be factual and impartial. The question we ask after our analysis is what really is the most important - to ensure the best of the country and the cultural heritage or to take into consideration the different cultural heritage of the students. Conclusions from our study are that other religions have gained more space in today's curriculum and teaching materials than before. It is also more neutrally formulated, however, it is a long way to go to a non-confessional education in religious knowledge. We stand with one foot in tradition and one foot in the renewal and are about to take a step over to the last one.

The research was developed based on a qualitative, descriptive and interpretive methodological approach. The research method was initially phenomenological, following the hermeneutic-dialectical phenomenology. Three research documents of the school under study were used as research tools: Pedagogia Inaciana (PI - Ignatian Pedagogy), the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) and the Commom Educational Project of the Jesuit Educational Network (PEC), as well as semi-structured interviews with students of high school in the studied institution. For analysis of the documents data, the analytical reading method was used according to Severino (2000); to analyze the interviews, we worked with TDA - Textual Discourse Analysis, according to Moraes and Galiazzi (2014). The understanding of the data implied a dialogical relationship among the collected data, the empirical data and the theoretical references, including the researcher's worldview in the interpretative process. In view of the whole research process, we arrived at the analysis of the research variables, which revealed three emergent categories: Values experience within the school space; Significant educational actions; Religion, Faith and Spirituality. Considering that all human beings have different intelligences, we will see some theories which affirm the existence of spiritual intelligence and its importance within a person?s life. / A presente pesquisa tem como quest?o central: Compreender como um col?gio confessional cat?lico da cidade de Porto Alegre contribui para o desenvolvimento da intelig?ncia espiritual dos alunos, que cursaram todo o Ensino Fundamental nessa Institui??o de Ensino, com previs?o de conclus?o do Ensino M?dio no ano de 2016. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida, a partir de uma abordagem metodol?gica qualitativa, descritiva e interpretativa. O m?todo de pesquisa foi inicialmente fenomenol?gico, seguindo por meio da fenomenologia hermen?utico-dial?tica. Foram utilizados como instrumentos de pesquisa a an?lise de tr?s Documentos norteadores do Col?gio pesquisado: Pedagogia Inaciana (PI), o Projeto Pol?tico Pedag?gico (PPP) e o Projeto Educacional Comum da Rede Jesu?ta de Educa??o (PEC), bem como entrevistas semiestruturadas com alunos concluintes do Ensino m?dio do col?gio pesquisado. Para an?lise dos dados dos documentos, foi utilizado o m?todo de leitura anal?tica segundo Severino (2000), isso para an?lise dos documentos; para an?lise das entrevistas, trabalhamos com ATD ? An?lise Textual Discursiva, conforme Moraes e Galiazzi (2014). A compreens?o dos dados implicou rela??o dial?gica entre os dados coletados, os dados emp?ricos e o referencial te?rico, incluindo a cosmovis?o da pesquisadora no processo interpretativo. Diante de todo o processo realizado na pesquisa, chegamos ? an?lise das vari?veis da investiga??o, que revelaram tr?s categorias emergentes: Viv?ncia de valores no espa?o escolar; A??es educativas significativas; Religi?o, F? e espiritualidade. Considerando que todo ser humano possui diferentes intelig?ncias, conheceremos alguns te?ricos que defendem a exist?ncia da intelig?ncia espiritual e sua import?ncia na vida de uma pessoa.

Communicatio in sacris est l’expression par laquelle l’Église de Rome a cherché à définir et discipliner toute forme de participation d’un catholique aux célébrations liturgiques et aux sacrements d’un culte non catholique. Durant les XVIIe et XVIIIe siècle, cette pratique était particulièrement répandue dans la Méditerranée orientale – à cause de la coexistence traditionnelle entre Grecs et Latins – et dans l’Empire ottoman et ses environs, à la suite des succès des missionnaires dans la conversion des communautés chrétiennes locales. Ce travail a pour but d’utiliser les pratiques concrètes comprises sous cette étiquette comme point de départ et clé interprétative pour une réflexion plus approfondie sur le processus de construction des identités confessionnelles au Levant à l’époque moderne. En plus d’étudier le débat théorique (théologico-canonique) sur la question, notre intérêt porte principalement sur la reconstruction des différents contextes sociaux, politiques et religieux qui rendaient inévitable la communicatio. La relation entre «catholique latins» et «grec-orthodoxes» est analysée dans les cas de l’archipel égéen des Cyclades et dans les îles ioniennes soumises à la domination de Venise. Les affrontements entre les orientaux convertis au catholicisme et ceux restés fidèles à leur Église sont pris en considération en étudiant les communautés arméniennes de Constantinople et de l’Anatolie orientale. L'analyse repose sur un vaste éventail de sources, particulièrement sur un dépouillement des cas de communicatio présents dans les archives du Saint-Office et de la Propagande, aussi bien que sur la documentation produite par le réseau consulaire français. / Communicatio in sacris is the expression employed by the Roman Church to define (and simultaneously restrict) all kind of participation of a Catholic to the liturgical celebrations and sacraments of a non-Catholic worship. During the 17th and 18th century, this practice was particularly widespread in the Eastern Mediterranean and in the Ottoman Empire, because of the traditional coexistence between Greeks and Latins but also as a result of the success of the missionaries in the conversion of Eastern Christians settled there. My work aims at using the concrete practices included under this label as a starting point and as an interpretive key for a deeper reflection on the process of confession building in the Early Modern Levant. In addition to the study of the theoretical (theological-canonical) debate on the issue, the thesis focuses mainly on the reconstruction of the different social, political and religious contexts that produced the communicatio and made it «necessary». The relationship between «Latin Catholics» and «Greek-Orthodox» is examined both for the case of the Aegean Cyclades and of the Ionian islands subject to the domination of Venice; the clashes between the Oriental Christians who converted to Catholicism and those who remained faithful to their Church are instead considered through the study of the Armenian communities of Constantinople and Eastern Anatolia. The overall analysis is based on a wide range of sources, particularly on the inventory of the cases of communicatio found in the archives of the Holy Office and of Propaganda, as well as on the documentation produced by the French consular networks.
