Moral views of freshmen in selected Christian colleges- [e-book]

초록/해제: 요약 : Threads of morality are found in every human institution. Families present values and beliefs to their children. Public schools once supported those common values, yet in the last twenty-five years they have shunned the teaching of right and wrong. This void of boundaries has assisted the destructive behavior found in contemporary society. However, Christian schools have continued to teach absolutes and standards of moral behavior based on the Bible. Have their students accepted those standards? Does moral education correspond to the desired outcomes of Christian school administrators? Are the moral standards of Christian school students different from public school students? Do Christian schools teach courses about drugs, sex, and ethics? This research addressed these questions.

초록/해제: 요약 : Using two survey instruments, one for Christian school principals and the second for freshman students at six Christian colleges scattered across the United States, the data indicated that, generally, students who graduated from Christian schools were accepting and enacting the moral views which they were taught. The research found that the moral views between Christian school graduates and public school graduates was negligible due to the fact that the home environments of both groups were similar. Of the twelve moral areas researched, ten were in the "strongly disagree" category. Three issues--premarital sex, stealing, and homosexuality--were statistically significant due to the intensity of disagreement. Three of the four religious behaviors between these two groups were found to be statistically significant. Both groups were similar in behavior related to tobacco, alcohol, and drug use, with over 80% who never used tobacco and 78% who never used alcohol. The research found that Christian schools do offer courses in sex education, chemical abuse, and ethics, although the approach was often integrated with other content areas.
