An Investigation into the Swiftness and Intensity of Recent Secularization in Canada: Was Berger Right
In this article, we investigate the correlates of recent secularization in Canada since the 1960s. Employing an database which evaluates a random sample of Canadians in terms of 60 beliefs and 77 values, we test seven “theories” of secularization applicable to the Canadian case using measures selected from these lists. We find that two factors emerge as critical in our models: (1) the new paradigm of individualism, together with (2) epistemic shi…
Concept mapping in the humanities to facilitate reflection: Externalizing the relationship between public and personal learning
This article discusses how mapping techniques were used in university teaching in a humanities subject. The use of concept mapping was expanded as a pedagogical tool, with a focus on reflective learning processes. Data were collected through a longitudinal study of concept mapping in a university-level Classics course. This was used to explore how mapping can be applied in the discursive context of the humanities in relation to teaching, learning…
Non‐traditional learners in higher education: Comparison of a traditional MCQ examination with concept mapping to assess learning in a dental radiological science course
The aim of this study is to argue for alternative assessment methods (i.e. concept map) considering the changes in demography in higher education. In the case of school of dentistry, for example, there is an urgent call for a catalyst for new assessment methods in dental education in view of the drive to comprehensively assess professional competence to cater to the current work requirement; this quantitative study compared two different approach…
Using Concept Mapping to Enhance the Research Interview
In this paper the authors report the use of concept mapping as a means of summarizing interview transcripts in the study of the information-seeking behavior of employees in an organization. Concept mapping differs from traditional methods of textual coding for interview analysis by making underlying cognitive structures transparent and giving a focus to the sets of propositions by which individuals construct meaning. Concept map structure correla…

Religion under Siege: A Scientific Response: A Lecture given to the Alister Hardy Society meeting at Oxford, 1 December 2007
Last year, shortly before he published The God Delusion, I went to see Richard Dawkins in the Zoology Department in Oxford. I was gathering material for my biography of Alister Hardy and it so happened that Hardy had been head of the Zoology Department when Dawkins arrived there as an undergraduate in 1959. Both were advocates of evolution by natural selection, Hardy defending religion, and Dawkins attacking it on biological grounds drawn from Da…
Making learning visible: The Role of Concept Mapping in Higher Education
This article develops the concept‐mapping method as a tool for enhancing teaching quality in higher education. In particular, it describes how concept mapping can be used to transform abstract knowledge and understanding into concrete visual representations that are amenable to comparison and measurement. The article describes four important uses of the method: the identification of prior knowledge (and prior‐knowledge structure) among students; …
Universities as centres of non-learning
It has been claimed that one of the overriding purposes of the scholarship of teaching movement is to make more visible what teachers do to make learning happen. The authors of this article are critical of the literature on the scholarship of teaching for not having made more progress towards this aim. They support these assertions through analysis of recent literature and consultation with academics teaching in a variety of disciplines. The weak…
Using concept maps to measure deep, surface and non-learning outcomes
This article reports the use of concept mapping to reveal patterns of student learning (or non‐learning) in the course of master’s level teaching for research methods. The work was done with a group of 12 postgraduate students, and the concept maps of four individuals produced before and after a single teaching intervention are shown in detail. The data are presented as case studies that document the incidence of deep learning, surface learning a…
Spiritual Development: Intersections and Divergence with Religious Development
Why is Implicit Religion Implicit
To say that certain expressions of religion are ‘implicit’ is to suggest that there are good reasons why they cannot be made ‘explicit’. This paper accepts that religions are socially constructed systems of symbols (Geertz), but emphasises that they are also responses to the experience of a relationship with a transcendent presence. Qualitative and quantitative empirical data are presented to demonstrate that such experience is extremely commonpl…
The Cultural Context of Stage Models of Religious Experience
The stage model of religious experience proposed by Edwards and Lowis (this issue), like that of Batson, Schoenrade, and Ventis (1993), has its cultural origins in Puritan and Pietist Christian understandings of religious conversion. Within that context it has validity and explanatory power. It may also have some application to other religious cultures, in particular to those kinds of religious experience that are especially associated with exist…
Spirituality versus Individualism: Why we should nurture relational consciousness
This paper proposes an approach to spiritual education which transcends the religious-secular boundary by conceiving of spirituality as a natural human predisposition labelled 'relational consciousness'. Evidence drawn from recent research demonstrates that this predisposition is universally identifiable in young children and expresses itself in many forms apart from the religious. Nevertheless it is this which allows the possibility of religious…
Psychologists interpreting conversion: Two American forerunners of the hermeneutics of suspicion
Because of the importance of Puritanism in its history, one of the forms taken by religious Angst at the end of the 19th century in New England was uneasiness about the psychological nature and validity of the conversion experience. Apart from William James and G. Stanley Hall, the leading psychologists who investigated this phenomenon were Edwin Starbuck and James Leuba. Each had a different personal stance with regard to the plausibility of rel…

Investigating Children's Spirituality: The Need for a Fruitful Hypothesis
It is only recently that the spirituality of children as distinct from their religion has appeared as a subject of academic interest. This development permits us to investigate children's spirituality as an aspect of a more general category than that of religion. Spirituality is characterised here as a natural form of human awareness. Research evidence is offered to demonstrate that the 'natural' hypothesis is more resilient to scientific testing…

Phenotypic and genetic affinities among ethnic populations in Daghestan (Caucasus, Russia): A comparison of polymorphic, physical, neurophysiological and psychological traits
Daghestan contains many distinct populations characterized by different degrees of isolation, ethnic backgrounds and ecological conditions. This report introduces a large-scale family study conducted in seven Daghestan populations as well as in Moscow, using four categories of measures: (1) single gene polymorphisms, (2) anthropometric, (3) physiological, and (4) psychological quantitative traits. Such a study permits the analysis of both phenoty…

How, in Our Time, Can We Learn about Spirituality
A rule of thinking which would absolutely prevent me from acknowledging certain kinds of truth, if those kinds of truth were really there, would be an irrational rule
The bearing of empirical studies of religious experience on education
The 1988 Education Reform Act requires, and recent DES and government publications advise, that a significant portion of the primary and secondary curriculum should be devoted to the religious dimension of human experience. In spite of this emphasis, religious education continues to be a Cinderella subject in many schools. The thesis presented here is that this paradox is rooted in an ambivalence about religion that first became prominent during …

Failed and outdated social science theorizing? A commentary on IQ distributions in fathers and sons
Vroon, de Leeuw & Meester (1986) interpreted a father‐son IQ correlation of +0.34 as discrediting family background as the origin of a significant part of total IQ variation. This commentary argues that Vroon et al. have misunderstood the concept of variance partitioning as it is used in behavioural genetics. Based on their data, some 34 per cent (under a model of purely shared environmental influences) to 68 per cent or more (under a model of pu…

Reports of Esctatic, Paranormal, or Religious Experience in Great Britain and the United States: A Comparison of Trends
Studies in the United States show that ecstatic, paranormal, or religious experience is much more widespread than contemporary descriptions of reality would lead us to suppose. Despite differences in methodology, trends seem to be emerging and a recent national survey in Great Britain suggests that these findings may not be peculiar to North America. The paper outlines points of convergence and divergence between the British and American work on …

Asking questions about religious experience
Research evidence in both Britain and the United States over the past 15 years suggests that reports of 'religious experience' are much more widespread than was previously suspected. The concept of 'religious experience' has its origins in Protestant Christianity, but has come to refer to a realm of experience believed by some scholars to be common to all members of the species. It would seem that recent proposals to make comparative investigatio…
