‘Confessing to wilful disobedience’: an ethnographic study of deaf people’s experience of Catholic religious schooling in the Republic of Ireland*     

Noel Patrick O’Connell 《British Journal of Religious Education》2018,40(1):84-92

This ethnographic study examines deaf people’s experience of the Roman Catholic Sacrament of Confession in two Catholic schools for deaf children in the Republic of Ireland from 1950 to 1990. The article fills a gap in Catholic deaf education literature that fails to uncover the experiences of deaf children. It provides space for their storied lives based on a total of 10 loosely structured individual interviews conducted with a purposeful sample of deaf adult participants who were past pupils of Catholic schools. Using ethnographic data, the study illuminates the views of participants concerning the learning obstacles created by a school policy dominated by oralism which prohibited use of Irish Sign Language. The article uncovers children’s experiences of the Sacrament of Penance for disobeying classroom rules against signing. Participants found their schooling experiences exemplify notions of stigma and stereotyping. As children, their response was to either subvert or submit to their school’s policy and religious practice. The findings make a useful contribution to current debates on language issues pertaining to teaching, learning and communication in deaf education. This paper concludes that, although heavily stigmatised in the past, Irish Sign Language has an important role in cultivating equitable access to Religious Education.  相似文献

Little is known regarding the profiles of whole body donors in Muslim majority countries where donation is scarce. Therefore, this study aims to profile registered donors in Turkey by means of a survey. The explored data could be used to improve ongoing campaign efforts and ethical practices such as commemoration services. Registered donors of the donation programs at the two faculties of medicine of Istanbul University were compared with the national population and a cluster analysis was performed to reveal any concealed sub-groups. Data from 188 respondents were analyzed. The majority of registered donors were married (42%), male (65.4%), aged over 50 years (76%), held a tertiary education degree (49.7%), and were irreligious (58.5%). Cluster analysis revealed two groups with significantly different educational levels, marital statuses, and religious choices. Regarding whether their bodies could be used for education or research, the majority (64.5%) of the respondents left the decision to the anatomy department. Similarly, 73.8% approved indefinite use of their organs, body parts and/or skeletons. The respondents were also willing to share their medical history (94.2%) and personal information (81.6%) if needed. Motivational themes for body donation including usefulness, impermanence, religion, awareness, and kinship were devised after a thematic analysis. Among the respondents, 56.5% were registered organ donors and 63.3% were frequent blood donors. The results of this study provide data that may help revising informed consent forms, developing and implementing thanksgiving ceremonies, and selecting additional targets for supporting body donation campaign activities such as organ and blood donation units.  相似文献

从宗教意识起源看中西人生观差异     

伍茂国 《南宁师范高等专科学校学报》2005,22(1):1-4

中西人生观存在较大的差异，中国人崇尚一元化，理想生活和世俗生活合二为一，较少超越意识；西方人崇尚二元化，理想生活与现实生活可以独立存在，并行不悖，有强烈的超越意识，产生这些差异的原因追根溯源在于中西宗教意识起源殊途而不同归。  相似文献

‘University is a non-Muslim experience,you know? The experience is as good as it can be’: Satisfied settling in Muslim students’ experiences and implications for Muslim student voice     

Maisha Islam  Lucy Mercer-Mapstone 《British Educational Research Journal》2021,47(5):1388-1415

We report findings from a cross-institutional investigation testing the applicability of a new concept, ‘satisfied settling’, which describes the ways in which students are unconsciously ‘settling for less’ in terms of their university experiences. The context of exploration for this article was that of Muslim students’ experiences as a critical area which has received little previous focus. Our results describe a staged cognitive process undertaken by students to subconsciously excuse institutional failures to support their religious needs by settling for lower levels of satisfaction. The ‘counter stories’ told by 19 Muslim students (via semi-structured interviews) detail how their voices are heard or silenced around the deep importance of religious provisions in their university experiences. Satisfied settling was ultimately found to translate across institutional contexts, and the applicability of the concept is discussed in extending to other marginalised student groups.  相似文献   

关于当代中东自杀式袭击现象的思考———以宗教极端主义为视角     

权新宇 《哈尔滨学院学报》2011,32(5):52-56

20世纪80年代以来,中东的自杀式袭击愈演愈烈,引起全球高度关注,也促使国内外学术界对其进行了广泛而深入的探究。尽管自杀式袭击的产生是各种因素合力而成,但文章以为,宗教极端主义的因素是至关重要的。宗教极端主义之所以重要,主要在于：宗教极端主义为自杀式袭击提供了宗教合法性依据,从而使其具备了正当性。这一正当性在伊斯兰极端组织对人体炸弹的具体灌输中得到强化,从而成为自杀式袭击得以最终完成的先决条件。  相似文献

Whose children are they? A transnational minority religious sect and schools as sites of conflict in Canada, 1890–1922     

Robyn Sneath 《Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education》2017,53(1-2):93-106

Abstract

In 1874, 6000 Old Colony Mennonites, an ethno-religious minority sect, immigrated to the Canadian prairies from Russia, after negotiating a charter of privileges with the federal government. Chief among these freedoms was the right to educate their children without government interference. Between 1890 and 1922, tensions mounted between the Mennonites and the government over issues related to schooling, culminating in the 1922 exodus to Latin America. Archival evidence – school inspector reports, personal correspondence and German and English-language newspapers – illustrates how a lack of identity with a nation-state rendered government attempts at assimilation through schooling ineffective. The transnational lens elucidates why these Mennonites were not moved by state efforts; their allegiance was to their own community and to the kingdom of God, but not to any particular nation. Successive legislation – the 1890 Schools Act, the 1907 law mandating that the Union Jack flag be flown outside schools, and the School Attendance Act – though not directed solely at the Mennonites, made it harder for them to conduct their schools according to tradition. Schooling served as the primary locus through which their language, religion and worldview were transmitted and these goals often conflicted directly with predominant concepts of education.  相似文献
