Abstract:

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

Abstract:

Experts do not agree on the definition of spiritual development although positive spiritual development benefits society in many ways. Without agreement on the definition of spiritual development and a common understanding of spiritual development, parents, teachers, and pastors who are entrusted with the task of fostering positive spiritual development in Christian settings face the challenges of determining what spiritual development is (definition), the desired goals (culmination) of spiritual development, and the most effective ways to meet those goals (context and content). The purpose of

Abstract:

<p> In a child's life, the church has minimal time to make a maximum impact. The time children are in church must not be wasted, but should be spent in valuable and life changing ways. Stories have long been included in Christian education, but is the practice of telling stories something that is continued merely because "we've always done it this way," or is there merit in continuing their use? Story is a wildly popular theme in Christian education today and children love stories, but there is more to a story than mere amusement? Parents and Christian educators wrestle with questions such as

Abstract:

This thesis, which is in two parts, attempts to interpret in moral and spiritual terms those responses to bereavement that are often described as psychological. In part one human development is considered comparing religious, philosophical, scientific and psychological theories and a model of the 'core self' is proposed (body, mind and emotions) which responds to social and cultural influences in ways that can be considered moral and spiritual. Theories of duty, consequence and virtue are considered as well as Kohlberg's theory of justice reasoning and Gilligan's views about caring. Within spi

Abstract:

Recent legislation (DfES, 2003; Children Act 2004) has led to a renewed emphasis on listening to children resulting in new approaches, such as `spiritual listening' (Gersch et al, 2008), being developed. `Spiritual listening' is a method of `deeper listening to children's views on concepts such as 'happiness', `destiny' and 'purpose'. The researcher aimed to extend this initial research by carrying out two interconnected studies, Study 1 with a theoretical focus and Study 2 with a practical focus. Study 1 aimed to explore children's spiritual and philosophical meaning-making and develop a theo

Many studies on children’s spiritual development have been done, but misperceptions and preconceived ideas about children’s spiritual abilities and development still exist. In this study, an attempt is made to address some of these misperceptions and preconceived ideas and so attain a richer conceptual understanding of children’s spiritual development

Abstract:

Using a conceptualisation of ethos as 'experienced culture' this dissertation explores how school ethos is associated with spiritual development of pupils. An 'ethos scale' is devised by mapping together theoretical models of school culture and spirituality. This new scale and an existing scale of spiritual well-being (used as a measure of spiritual development) are combined as a research instrument and applied to a random stratified sample of 907 ,children aged I 0-1 I years in 46 primary schools in Northern Ireland.

Abstract:

The assumption of the study was that children are capable of an intimate and real relationship with God. The question that is often asked is, "How does the church best help children to grow in that relationship?" The lack of an agreed upon definition and understanding of spirituality and the need for a sound and practical approach to helping children develop spiritually was the catalyst behind this research. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between ministry praxis and spiritual development milestones in the lives of Nazarene children. The literature review began with

Abstract:

This research study explores the ways in which children from diverse family backgrounds can construct or reconstruct their God representations. These were probed by using 'object relations theory' and 'matemal deprivation theory' as means of further gaining insight into children's initial formulations of interpersonal and emotional relationships and how these were translated into the way they imagined God to be for themselves, given their age-group. Parallels were drawn between the interface of psychology and theology by using theories on faith development. There is a clear acknowledgment that

Abstract:

Many Christian faith-based preschools in the Oyo State of Nigeria are realising that spiritual development is an essential part of young children’s natural growth and should be given due attention. Accordingly, activities at preschools should be geared to support young children’s spiritual development. In conjunction with the administrators, the preschool teachers at Christian faith-based schools are charged with the responsibility of attending to the spiritual development of young children in their care.

Bullying is widely recognised as being unacceptable and is addressed by many schools in the form of anti-bullying policies. However, on ongoing basis, girls are being socially excluded from relationships and because this behaviour is often so subtle, it is neither recognised as a form of bullying nor is it being addressed within schools. Theologians argue that educational institutions ought to evaluate the ethical dimension of knowledge cons
