Enhancing Doctrinal Discernment
Religious education is crucial for equipping learners to distinguish official doctrine from non-official statements within their faith traditions. This qualitative study examines the effectiveness of Decision-Based Learning (DBL) as a tool to enhance student ability to discern between doctrine that falls within and without a faith’s official doctrinal canon. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis of interviews with five participants, th…
Comparing Course Modalities for Religious Education Outcomes
This study statistically analyzes data from 241 university students in the same religion course during the same semester, with the same instructor, enrolled in four different course modalities: face-to-face, blended, synchronous online, and asynchronous online. Across modalities, students received identical course content and assessments. When statistically controlling for gender, incoming GPA, modality motivation, teacher rapport, and peer conne…
Decision‐based learning in religious education
Student learning in religious educational settings is subject to the same pedagogical forces, both effective and ineffective, as found in secular settings. Lectures, readings, assignments, testing and other activities associated with typical instruction, while of some value, tend to leave students with knowledge that is mostly fragmented. In this paper, we explore the use of an innovative pedagogy called decision‐based learning that is designed t…

Correlation between grade point averages and student evaluation of teaching scores
One of the most contentious potential sources of bias is whether instructors who give higher grades receive higher ratings from students. We examined the grade point averages (GPAs) and student ratings across 2073 general education religion courses at a large private university. A moderate correlation was found between GPAs and student evaluations of teaching (SETs); however, this global correlation did not hold true for individual teachers and c…

Dans cet entretien, Mary McIntosh revient sur le contexte de production de son article « Le rôle homosexuel » en soulignant ses limites et les amendements qu'elle juge alors utile de lui apporter. Elle regrette d'avoir envisagé la question dans sa dimension essentiellement masculine sans l'avoir interrogée, puis précise qu'il est nécessaire de ne plus considérer l'hétérosexualité comme allant de soi et que l'homosexualité doit être étudiée au tra…

Understanding Childhood Sexualities
Contemporary concern over paedophilia and child sexual abuse usually rests upon uncritical and under-theorized conceptions of childhood sexualities. This article examines some of these assumptions and then outlines the social 'constructionist' alternative. Focusing upon the processes by which a child comes to script its sexual world, a number of central dimensions are posed: the scripting of absences, of values, of secrecy, of utility, of gender …
Lesbian and Gay Youth in England
The experience of being gay and young has been seriously neglected in youth culture research and in youth service provision. This stems in part from the pervasiveness of both the heterosexual assumption and the sexual stigma. Since the advent of the gay movement, however, some modest research into gay youth has been conducted and some has been generated through the activity of gay organizations themselves. This paper reviews the experience and pr…
Child Sexual Abuse
The Making of the Modern Homosexual
Is the a type of person that has been with us-in various guises-throughout history? Is he or she simply a being that we are slowly discovering and understanding better? Or is the simply an invention of our century? The authors of this original and important new work take this last view and argue that although same-sex sexual experiences may have existed throughout history, the notion of the is a peculiarly modern idea which has profound consequen…

The practical problems involved in interpretation of personal documents collected from life histories are briefly discussed. Technical problems in data collection may involve choice of data gathering method interviewing dealing with transcriptions and problems of validity and representativeness but analysis of data problems when doing life histories involves intervention that must be acknowledged as tampering with the data. The degree of interpre…
