Bearers of Diverse Ecclesiologies: Imagining Catholic School Students as Informing a Broader Articulation of Catholic School Aims
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive, although not exhaustive, picture of the kinds of real concerns and concurrently inferred ecclesiological perspectives practicing Catholic students have. It reports findings from an interview study with 16 students at a private Catholic high school in Canada who self-identify as Catholic in order to demonstrate that it is in a Catholic school’s best interest not to rely on narrow or singular definitions of Catholic identity, especially insofar as these are tied to minimal and external markers of institutional affiliation. While the sample’s size and particularity do not generalizing to a larger population of Catholic adolescents or to all Catholic schools, it nonetheless validly contributes to a modest theoretical claim about the unity and diversity of student experiences and how they conceptually inform a Catholic school’s aims. In the conclusion I hypothesize that student spirituality will be optimized if it is conceptualized and discussed in explicit, pluralistic terms. Keywords Catholic Education, Catholic School, Ecclesiology, Religiosity, Aims Porteurs d'ecclésiologies diverses : imaginer que les élèves des écoles catholiques permettent d'expliquer plus largement les visées de l'école catholique Le but de cet article est de représenter de manière plus complète, mais non exhaustive, la nature des inquiétudes réelles qu'éprouvent les élèves catholiques pratiquants et les points de vue ecclésiologiques qui en découlent simultanément. Il relate les conclusions tirées d'entretiens effectués auprès de 16 élèves d'un lycée catholique privé au Canada, qui s'identifient eux-mêmes en tant que catholiques, en vue de montrer qu'il vaut beaucoup mieux qu'une école catholique ne s'appuie pas sur des définitions étroites ou uniques de l'identité catholique, surtout dans la mesure où elles sont associées à des marqueurs minimaux et extérieurs d'affiliation institutionnelle. Alors que la taille de l'échantillon et sa particularité ne doivent pas être généralisées à une plus large population d'adolescents catholiques ou à toutes les écoles catholiques, cette étude contribue néanmoins à valider une modeste allégation théorique sur l'unité et la diversité des expériences vécues par les élèves et l'éclairage conceptuel qu'elles projettent sur les visées d'une école catholique. En conclusion, je formule l'hypothèse que la spiritualité des élèves sera optimisée si elle est conceptualisée et exprimée en termes explicites et pluralistes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
