The Development and Validation of the Stewardship Measure from the Philippines
The present study examines the latent dimensions of a measure on stewardship ( SM ) contextually interpreted here using a local concept in central Philippines. Overall, we want to find out how the dimensions resonate with religious and cultural views considering the significant papal insights on stewardship before and after Laudato Si. To create SM , we constructed 68 items after informal interviews of local inhabitants in four municipalities and…
Earth Care
The blame appended to anthropocentric leanings of traditional Christian thought for our ecological woes challenged me to do a reality check of our context and religious education’s offering for an ailing world. I begin by looking at our ecological crises in the Philippines and searching for glimmers of hope from young Filipino environmental attitudes, ecological initiatives of NGOs, and government and academic engagements of Filipino religious ed…
The Role of Catholic Life Formation in Fostering Sustainable Environmental Attitudes among Selected Filipino SHS Students
A relevant Religious Education needs to confront the life-threatening global issues humanity faces today. The present study investigates how Catholic Life Formation (CLF) through religious instruction may predict environmental attitudes among students in Cebu City, Philippines. This study analyzes how the following variables may influence Christian environmentalism: students' reception of CLF inputs, Catholic Social Teachings (CST) perceptions, a…
Kalikhasang Balaan
Scientific consensus points to human activity as the primary cause of global warming triggering climate change. Mitigations include technology-assisted interventions and education of human agents, such as changing the human mindset and behavior, to avoid impending, irreversible environmental damage, among others. Among the competent sectors, religious communities can boost formative human interventions through religious ideas. The present study c…
Student religious attitudes and global citizenship antecedents, identification, and outcomes in a Filipino sample
In the present study, we investigated the influence of religious attitudes on a model of antecedents, identification, and outcomes of global citizenship using predictive quantitative tools. A total of 2,694 university students were recruited from two campuses of a large state university in southern Philippines and completed measures regarding religious attitudes and antecedents and outcomes of global citizenship identification. Data were analysed…
The Development and Validation of the Christian Environmentalism Scale (CES) from a Philippine Sample
Responding to emerging ecotheologies, we articulated a new environmental construct distinct from previous environmental measures which largely follow developmental models. In the present study we developed and reviewed the psychometric properties of the Christian Environmentalism Scale ( CES ) initially in three dimensions from 970 youth participants in the Philippines. Study design included exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis for data r…
Experiencing Religion
Framed within religious historicism, the present study reviews, through historical and empirical insights, the lessons that Philippine RE can learn from the liberating function of religion and liberated religious undercurrents parallel to institutional religion in the Philippines. The liberating function of religion is often overlooked in post-colonial discourses while religious undercurrent views seem neglected due to pre-occupations with untang…
Church-State Separation and Challenging Issues Concerning Religion
In its declaration of principles, the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides for the separation of Church and State. While the principle honors distinctions between temporal and spiritual functions, both Church and State maintain a unique and cooperative relationship geared towards the common good. However, traditional boundaries governing political and religious agency have been crossed during Duterte's presidency causing a conflict between leade…
Emerging Transitions in the Meaning of Religious Constructs
Recent data from two local empirical studies on religion (Baring et al. 2018) and the sacred (Baring et al. 2017) show how an imminent shift in Filipino youth attitudes articulates new perspectives on religion, religiosity, and spirituality. This paper presents an analysis of three emerging peculiar characterizations of religious experience by young students culled from two previous empirical studies. These newfound descriptions indicate a depart…
Filipino College Students' Attitudes towards Religion
In the last 50 years, measures of religious constructs have been the subject of much scientific attention. Cross-cultural considerations necessitate that empirical claims on assessments about religion are validated by local data. While religion is typically viewed in terms of spirituality and religiosity, recent empirical studies indicate a shift in the interpretation of these dimensions in a more diffused and relaxed appreciation. Building up fr…
Configurations of student Spirituality/Religiosity
One of the points of contention in youth research pertains to academic life vis-a-vis the religious and spiritual mindset of the young student. Questions about the probable associations between academic growth and spiritual/religious life are treated with intense interest in religious and sociological discussions. This study sought to find out the characteristics of Filipino student Spirituality and Religiosity using the Religiosity and Spiritual…
The Young and the Sacred
The article presents an empirical understanding of the sacred among the Filipino youth from a multicultural and multifaith context. A multistage item development in Manila and Mindanao was undertaken to prepare a Likert scale meant to explore the empirical dimensions of the construct ‘sacred’. Exploratory factor analysis was utilized to identify the underlying factor structure. The results reveal a four-factor structure: religious, valued, ethica…
Peacemaking at home in the world
Peace is both a religious and non-religious proposition. Religiously it is articulated within doctrinal categories. In non-religious terms, it is pursued within national and international interests. Non-religious pursuits to peace were often framed within political and some cultural considerations involving adult participants. However, numerous spiritual considerations to peacemaking have traditionally identified children's dispositions as a mate…
Children’s image of God and their parents
Exploring children’s image of God and parents has invited interest among program preparers for children’s spirituality in the Philippines. This research seeks to find out the fundamental orientation of children’s image of God as well as their perceptions of father and mother from 241 fifth graders in three selected government primary schools in Manila. This study takes cue from the traditional theories that affirm the interaction between the envi…
