The dispute over the place, accommodation and tolerance of religion and religious expression in South African public schools, as well as globally, has been vehement. This is, to some extent, because public schools reflect the multicultural and religious societies in which they are found. In addition to their diverse backgrounds, public schools in South Africa and elsewhere are dominated by Christianity, with most people claiming allegiance to it and, sometimes, discriminating against the other minority religions. This has led to governments developing a plethora of legislation, policies and regulations to redress the dominance, unequal treatment and discrimination of the dominant religion. This study was undertaken to answer the question: “How do public schools promote the learners’ right to freedom of religious expression?” This interpretive multisite case study explored the experiences of the SGB chairpersons, principals, Life Orientation educators and learners at three public secondary schools in the Bohlabela District of the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. The research used interviews, document analysis and observations to elicit the participants’ views and understandings of how their various schools’ religious observance policies promoted the learners’ right to freedom of religious expression. The findings revealed that most schools have not changed the way they conduct religious observances since the promulgation of the National Policy on Religion and Education of 2003. Moreover, learners still experience religious intolerance and religious discrimination because schools promote single-faith religious observances. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria 2021. / pt2021 / Education Management and Policy Studies / MEd / Unrestricted

This diploma thesis shows, that higher incomes of American Jewish people are related to specific factors. The question is if there is some kind of specific human capital which influences Jewish incomes and if there is, how it differs from the common human capital. To find out the answer, the earnings of Jewish men and women and earnings of common Americans without connection to religion will be analyzed. Besides proving the importance and influence of education, other factors, which may increase or decrease the incomes, are also mentioned in the text. This thesis adds to the topic by including analyses of the qualitative data gained by the author; it thus should add to completeness of the research.

Esta dissertação reflete sobre a concepção do tema da ideologia de gênero e sua reverberação nas mídias regionais do Tocantins a partir da aprovação dos Planos Estadual e Municipais de Educação (2015-2025). Tem como objetivo compreender os significados da expressão “ideologia de gênero” a partir dos discursos, motivos e/ou justificativas que se manifestaram em jornais regionais online do Tocantins para a supressão das questões de sexualidade e de gênero dos planos municipais e estadual de educação deste estado federativo. Tem como método a pesquisa qualitativa, com inspirações da etnometodologia e etnopesquisa crítica, etnopesquisa formação, bem como da análise do discurso numa perspectiva teórico-metodológica da abordagem multirreferencial. Traz uma pesquisa bibliográfica para exploração dos conceitos de identidade, diversidade, diferença, gênero, sexualidade, ideologia, ideologia de gênero e plano de educação. A pesquisa documental foi realizada com três jornais regionais online: Jornal do Tocantins, T1 Notícias e JM Notícia. Foram coletados trinta e três etnotextos ao todo, sendo nove do Jornal do Tocantins, cinco do T1 Notícias e dezenove do JM Notícia. Todos esses etnotextos foram lidos a partir da análise do discurso. Como resultado é possível destacar o agrupamento de dez noções subsunçoras para compreensão da expressão “ideologia de gênero”: 1) “Ideologia de gênero” como sendo contrária a concepção natural e “biológica” dos gêneros masculino e feminino; 2) “Ideologia de gênero” como prática gay, ou do movimento gay; 3) “Ideologia de gênero” como possibilidade de destruição da família [tradicional]; 4) “Ideologia de gênero” como promotora da sexualidade precoce; 5) “Ideologia de gênero” como má compreensão do conceito de gênero; 6) “Ideologia de gênero” como usurpadora da educação moral familiar; 7) “Ideologia de gênero” como conhecimento não científico; 8) “Ideologia de gênero” como uma teoria autoritária; 9) “Ideologia de gênero” como produtora de inconveniências; 10) “Ideologia de gênero” como contrária a uma sociedade onde a Bíblia junto com a Constituição Federal e o Código Civil são pilares da sociedade. Conclui-se que a utilização da palavra ideologia na expressão “ideologia de gênero” é a partir de uma valorização pejorativa de acordo com a vertente crítica da ideologia; sua utilização tem sido feita com a intenção de criação de um Estado Teocrático no Brasil em especial pela tomada da Educação como um campo de disputa e de formação desta sociedade; assim como a “Ideologia de gênero” tem sido utilizada também para desqualificar outras formas de saberes e conhecimentos científicos que te / This dissertation approaches to the theme of the gender ideology and its reverberation in the regional media of Tocantins after the approval of the State and Municipal Education Plans (2015-2025). It aims to understand the meanings of the expression "gender ideology" from the discourses, motives and / or justifications that have been expressed in Tocantins online regional newspapers for the suppression of sexuality and gender issues of the municipal and state education plans of this Federative state. It uses the qualitative approach and the method of ethnomethodology and critical etnopesquisa, etnopesquisa formation in a multirreferencial way. It brings a bibliographical research to explore the concepts of identity, diversity, difference, gender, sexuality, ideology, gender ideology and educational plan. The documentary research was carried out with three regional newspapers online: Jornal do Tocantins, T1 Notícias and JM Notícia. Thirty-three ethnotexts were collected in all: nine of Jornal do Tocantins, five of T1 News and nineteen of JM News. All these ethnotexts were read from Discourse Analysis. As a result, it is possible to highlight the grouping of ten subsuming notions to understand the expression "gender ideology": 1) "Gender ideology" as being contrary to the natural and "biological" conception of male and female gender; 2) "Gender ideology" as a gay practice, or the gay movement; 3) "Gender ideology" as a possibility of destruction of the [traditional] family; 4) "Gender ideology" as a promoter of precocious sexuality; 5) "Gender ideology" as a misunderstanding of the concept of gender; 6) "Gender ideology" as a usurper of family moral education; 7) "Gender ideology" as non-scientific knowledge; 8) "Gender ideology" as an authoritarian theory; 9) "Gender ideology" as a producer of inconveniences; 10) "Gender ideology" as contrary to a society where the Bible, together with the Federal Constitution and the Civil Code, are pillars of society. We conclude that the use of the word ideology in the expression "gender ideology" is based on a pejorative valuation according to the critical slope of ideology; Its use has been made with the intention of creating a Theocratic State in Brazil in particular by the taking of Education as a field of dispute and of formation of this society; as well as the "Gender Ideology" has also been used to disqualify other forms of scientific knowledge and knowledge that tries to show and denounce the different ways of being male and female in the societies.

Public apprehension about religious diversity has pervaded Canadian headlines at an increasing pace, particularly during the past fifteen years. Urban centres and suburban and rural communities alike have seen clashes over the manifestation of diverse belief systems in daily life. From immigrant ‘codes of conduct,’ a ‘charter of values,’ controversy over the wearing of the Sikh kirpan in school, to bans on religious vestments and symbols worn by public servants including teachers, conflict and socially divisive misunderstandings are often the unfortunate fruits of ignorance about the ‘other.’ Many religious actors at the center of these stories have seen their cases ultimately adjudicated in Canada’s highest court, reinforcing the perception that religious difference is a source of conflict and division in Canadian society. In this era of global conversations about how liberal democracies approach diversity, this dissertation expands the conversation on education about religion, beliefs and worldviews in Canadian classrooms. With public education situated as a primary site for constructing democratic citizenship, the question of how this evolving dynamic of diversity is taught in schools is symbolically and practically linked to broader debates about government and societal responses to pluralism. This thesis makes an original contribution to knowledge by interweaving thinking from the literature on pluralism, xenosophia and deep equality as a conceptual framework, with empirical work investigating what parents and educators thought Canadian public-school (primary and secondary) students should learn in order to best prepare them for living and thriving in a diverse society. Triangulated data gathered from semi-structured interviews with parents and educators (n=22), responses from a national online survey (n=190), and a textual analysis of secondary student manuals from Quebec’s Ethics and Religious Culture Program (n=5), provided a holistic vantage point from which to consider the central research questions. Analysis and interpretation of findings revealed that learning about diversity and difference were of central importance, however, there were fundamental concerns regarding indoctrination, rejection of majority religious privilege and even-handedness in the presentation of religious and nonreligious belief systems. Existing discourse on religious and worldview literacy education in Canada tends to focus on teaching and learning in the context of a discrete curriculum such as the Ethics and Religious Culture program. However, findings from this research suggest that increased public awareness about the religious entanglements of colonization, combined with the significant rise in the number of Canadians who hold non-religious worldviews, contribute to a rethinking of how such literacy endeavours may be better integrated into other subject areas such as civics, citizenship, history or social studies.

Evidence suggests that a disconnect is growing between the information provided in Christian sermons and the life challenges faced by those church attendees. To bridge that divide, the purpose of this study was to better understand the characteristics of a sermon that enhance learning for churchgoers in Christian churches. The guiding question focused on churchgoing adults' perception of the sermon. Additional sub questions explored the relationship of the principles of adult learning, communication theory, and ambient teaching with churchgoers' and preachers' experiences with sermons. A qualitative case study design included one-on-one interviews with 5 preachers, 5 focus groups with 9 churchgoing adults in each group, and observations of the physical characteristics of 5 worship centers. A constant comparative method was used to identify the key themes. The key themes that emerged were: (a) sermons should be applicable, challenging, and comprehendible and (b) the preacher must be perceived as authentic. The study contributes to positive social change by suggesting a model that preachers can use to improve the qualities and delivery of a sermon to affect listeners' lives in a positive way.

L'objectif de cette recherche est d'identifier et d'analyser des dispositions et des logiques d'actions des enseignants lorsqu'ils se trouvent face à une situation liée à la question religieuse dans deux pays qui se définissent comme laïque, à savoir, le Brésil et la France. Il s'agit d'une étude d'inspiration ethnographique dans une perspective d'étude comparée. La recherche se situe dans le cadre de la Sociologie de l'éducation et utilise la sociologie de la socialisation et la sociologie pragmatique comme principaux cadres théoriques. A partir de cela, nous analysons les les dispositions et les principes de justice dans la pratique des enseignements brésiliens et français aux collèges publics. Ainsi les questions qui ont motivées la recherche sont : comment les enseignants traitent-ils une situation impliquant la question religieuse ? Pourquoi agissent-ils de cette façon ? Quelle(s) logique(s) d'action sont mobilisées dans les pratiques enseignantes? Quelles dispositions contribuent au "choix" de la logique d'action ? Comment les configurations sociales influencent-elles la question religieuse ? Existe-t-il des différences entre la pratique enseignante liée aux situations impliquant la question religieuse et la pratique enseignante tout court ? Pour répondre à ces questions une trentaine d'entretiens ont été effectués avec des enseignants brésiliens et français et trois établissement public ont été le cadre d'un travail d'observation (deux établissement au Brésil et Un en France), Les deux méthodes donnant accès à la description de situations professionnelles concernant les religions. La façon ont les enseignants gèrent la question religieuse privilégie la logique libérale au Brésil et la logique civique en France. En ce qui concerne les dispositions des enseignants, nous avons identifié des dispositions hybrides dans les actions brésiliennes et des dispositions professionnelles dans l'activité enseignante française. Enfin, nous avons mis au jour une logique d'action propre à la profession enseignante dans les deux pays, ce que nous appelons la logique professorale. / The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the teachers' dispositions and logic of actions when faced with a sotuation related to the religious question in two countries that define themselves as secular,such a Brazil and France. this is an ethnographic-inspired study wich mobilizes a comparative education perspective. The research is situated within the field of the Sociology of Education and uses the sociology of socialization and pragmatic sociology as the main theoretical frameworks. Therefore, we analyze the provisions and pinciples of justice in the pratice of Brazilian and French teachers at public colleges. Thus, the queestions that motived the research are : how do the teachers deal with a situation involving the religious question ? Why do they act this way ? What logic(s) of action are mobilized in teaching pratices ? Wich dispositions contribute to the "choice" of the logic action ? How social configurations influence teaching practice with regard to the religious question ? Are there differences between the teaching pratice itself ? To answer these questions,approximately thirty interviews were conducted with Brazilian and french teachers and three public institutions were part of a field observation (two institutions in Brazil and one in France), the two methods giving access to the description of professional situations concerning religions. The liberal logic identified in the pratices of Brazilian teachers and the civic logic favored in France in situations involving the religious questions are different wayss to guarantee secularism. Regarding teachers' dispositions, we have identified hybrid dispositions in Brazilian actions and professional dispositions in the French teaching practice. Finally, we have brought to light a logic of action peculiar to the teaching profession in both countries, what we call the teaching logic.
