Another experience of the holy: fostering dialogue about religion and God in Catholic schools with multifaith student populations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study seeks to articulate how and to what extent the religious-education programs,\nfaith formation, and spiritual ethos in Catholic schools can cultivate dialogue about and\nfoster experiences of religion and God in light of the diversity of faith traditions present\nin the student population. The methodology involves demographic and document inquiry,\nparticipant observation, and individual, semistructured interviews using an analytical\nframework inspired by Thomas Groomeâs seminal work on a shared Christian praxis.\nResearch was conducted between November 2004 and March 2005. One school in\nCanada, one school in the United States, and two schools in India were observed, and 15\ninterviews were completed. What was demonstrated most clearly is that specific dialogue\nabout religion and God is not a primary focus in any of the schools. Rather, their\napproaches seek to foster character development and religious tolerance based on the\nprinciples of moral and values education that are rooted in the experiences of the\nstudents. This study is useful for schools that desire to stimulate religious expression and\ndialogue that are rooted in, but not limited to, the narrow language of a single faith\ntradition.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
