Identity of a Christian School: Conceptions and Practical Significance. A Reconstructive Comparison.
De Wolff, Anneke; Miedema, Siebren; De Ruyter, Doret
Educational Review, v54 n3 p239-47 Nov 2002
Analysis of key Dutch, Anglo-American, and Germany literature on Christian schools identified different conceptions of their identity: one-dimensional (purely religious); multidimensional (education influenced by but not dependent on Christian worldview); abstract universal versus concrete/contextual; and static versus dynamic. Conceptions did not appear to relate to different pedagogical, curricular, or organizational outcomes. (Contains 15 references.) (SK)
