A Study of Religious Attitudes and Problems as Perceived by Current and Former Seventh-day Adventist Students at Seventh-day Adventist Mission Secondary Schools in Hong Kong
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Chuah Daniel
Published: May 2023

Problem. In spite of the combined efforts of both the local churches and the schools, the church attendance of Seventh-day Adventist adolescents has been low. This present study was to identify the religious attitudes of current Adventist students and Adventist alumni of all Adventist mission secondary schools in Hong Kong and to determine the relationship of these attitudes to other selected variables such as Bible classes, spiritual assemblies, church services and activities, doctrinal beliefs, relationships with parents, teachers, and pastors, their own self-concepts, and peer and media influences. This study sought to relate also the attitudes with 14 background variables such as gender, grade level at baptism, level of education, years spent in Adventist schools, religious background of parents, parents' marital status, church attendance, and residential status, whether dormitory or community students. Method. The subjects of this study were 165 current students from Form/Middle One to Five and 199 alumni who had left the Adventist secondary schools, not more than 5 years previously. The survey instrument utilized was the Youth Perceptual Inventory developed by Dudley (1977), modified by Laurent (1986), then further modified and translated into the Chinese language, and validated. Results. An investigation of the alienation scores indicated that 7% of the Adventist population might be considered to have negative attitudes toward religion. The variables that elicited the most negative attitudes concerned uninteresting sermons, unhappiness while attending an Adventist school or church, restrictive church standards, not feeling accepted at church, and unenjoyable church youth activities. Eight of the 13 highest correlations dealt with church influences; school-influence variables ranked second. The influence of media and peers ranked 12th and 15th, respectively. Home-influence variables ranked no higher than 17th. The best predictors for alienation in descending order were: lack of church involvement, lack of personal interest of teachers, authoritarianism in pastors, unbelief in Adventist doctrines, lack of personal interest of pastors, negative media influence, lack of religious sincerity of teachers, and family disharmony. Conclusion. It is important that parents, teachers, and religious leaders endeavor to manifest and communicate qualities associated with positive religious attitudes.
Hispanic Student Teachers' Practice Teaching in Cooperative Learning: Two Qualitative Case Studies
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Colon Myrna
Published: May 2023

Purpose: A qualitative case study designed to look at two student teachers' practice teaching experiences using cooperative learning was undertaken during the 1990-1991 academic year. The purpose of the study was to gain insight into student teachers' perceptions in translating theory into practice. Joyce's training model of theory, demonstration, and practice with feedback was utilized to train student teachers in cooperative learning in the college and school setting. The researcher was guided by four major questions: (1) What happens to the cooperative learning model when student teachers practice it in the school setting? (2) What happens to student teachers as they practice teach using cooperative learning? (3) What are the contextual elements and how do they influence practice teaching? and (4) What are the perceptions and cognitions of Hispanic student teachers during training? Method. The case studies were of two Hispanic student teachers' practice teaching experience using cooperative learning in the elementary and secondary levels. Both student teachers attended 20 training sessions of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes during two semesters. The case studies' context included, among others: the university, the teacher education program, student teachers personal accounts, and school climate. Data were obtained from documents, archival records, participant observations, and interviews during a 12 period. Findings. A cross-case analysis follows the case studies. Findings were reported in reference to the research questions. The findings included: (1) The classroom configuration and cooperative learning training model were for the most part unchanged. Poor distribution of time and classroom discipline problems affected the effective practice of the cooperative learning training model. (2) The cooperating teacher was identified as a contextual element influencing student teachers' practice teaching experiences. (3) Problems specifically related to covering content, classroom management, and group formation were seen as most important. (4) Reading materials on cooperative learning in English were perceived as a struggle by non-native English student teachers. They used comprehension strategies to understand the meaning of the text.
The Johannine Paroimia
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Doh Hyunsok
Published: May 2023

This investigation studied the use of the Greek term παροιμια in the Gospel of John. In chapter 1 modern and ancient writers who wrote about the παροιμια are reviewed as a background study. The discussions are mostly limited to the area of popular proverbs. The list of παροιμια in the period before the Fourth Gospel revealed that not only proverbial sayings but also idioms and maxims were included in the category of παροιμια. The use of the term in the Septuagint translation and in Philo's writings shifted from the earlier use of theterm because the former, in several places, translated the Hebrew words משׁל and חידה by παροιμια and the latter replaced three words αἲνιγμα, παραβολἠ, and διηγἠμα by παροιμἰα. This use provided an intermediate step toward the drastic shift in the term's meaning in the Fourth Gospel In chapter 2 the use of the term in 16 :4b-33 and the problem of ἐν παροιμἰαις are probed. Βy investigating the use of ταῦτα it is shown that Jesus referred to the passage of vss. 5-24 by ταῦτα in 16:25. The crucial sayings of vss. 25, 29 are conditioned by the questions of the disciples. The questions were caused by the difficult sayings of Jesus, which can be identified with παροιμἰα. The difficult sayings are found in vss. 5 (10b), 16. They are not parables, proverbs, illustrations, or figures of speech. They are riddles. Features of the Johannine riddles which occur in chap. 16 were observed: short; expanded by the use of a parable; cause questions; Jesus centered; Jesus' sayings; and use of ambiguous words. In chapter 3 the παροιμἰα of 10:1-5 was investigated to determine its literary form. Several possibilities were considered: parable, allegory, and riddle. 'Riddle' is the most appropriate English equivalent for παροιμἰα. Additional features of the Johannine riddles were observed: lengthy; cause of misunderstanding; and expansion by the use of proverbs. In chapter 4 further Johannine riddles were located in light of the features observed in the previous chapters. These riddles culminate in the death of Jesus. Jesus is portrayed as a teacher of riddles in the Gospel. The Johannine use of the term παροιμἰα shows a dramatic shift from its use in the classical and Hellenistic literature before the Gospel.
Teacher Change and a Direct Instruction Reading Approach : A Multiple-Case Study
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Freed Shirley
Published: May 2023

Problem. Using a qualitative research design this study documented the process of change experienced by four elementary teachers as they learned a direct instruction reading approach. The literature reveals that teacher implementation is affected by psychological state, school climate, and conceptual level; however, the goal of this study was to examine the effects of cognition and working conditions. Method. The author was involved as a participant-observer with 20 volunteer teachers as they attended a three-week intensive training session which involved presentation of theory, demonstrations, practice, and feedback. In the school year immediately following the training, nine teachers implemented the ECRI (Exemplary Center for Reading Instruction) approach and four of those were studied in-depth. The context within which each teacher was operating was established by observations, interviews, and inventories. Learning style, conceptual level, operational level, and measures of working conditions were treated as contextual factors and provided the basis for pattern searching during data analysis. Teachers' response to change was established by description and interpretation of events. Results. Responding to the training in a way similar to a cross-cultural experience, teachers' initial enthusiasm transformed to doubts, hostility, and disintegration as they encountered new ideas. Adjustments and recovery began as they adapted ECRI, learned new skills, and made connections with their previous practices. In the months following the training, characteristics of certain modal individuals (sequential and random, high and low conceptual level, and high and low operational level) became evident. The subjects used various strategies to cope with the change to ECRI and experienced change in their beliefs in spite of aspects in the teacher culture which appeared to act as obstacles to change. Conclusions. While each teacher implemented much of the ECRI model, the findings suggest that cognitive processes vary greatly among teachers and influence the way they learn a direct instruction reading approach. Working conditions affected the implementation process in various ways. Inservice training which is broad enough to meet the needs of contrasting styles may be more successful.
Attitudes of Male Administrators Toward Hiring and Promoting Female Administrators in the Seventh-day Adventist Educational System in the North American Division
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Ghazal Hessen
Published: May 2023

Problem. The ratio of female to male educational administrators is considerably lower than the ratio for teachers. This study investigated the attitudes of male administrators toward hiring and promoting female administrators in the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) educational system in North America. Method. A questionnaire was prepared consisting of four subscales with a total of 45 items measuring attitudes with respect to recruiting, performance evaluation, promotion, and general areas. This questionnaire was mailed to 458 male educational administrators of whom 322 returned usable surveys. Four hypotheses were tested by analysis of variance and chi-square. Findings. (1) On 40 of the 45 items, male SDA educational administrators expressed a positive attitude toward hiring and promoting women administrators. On no item was a bias against women administrators indicated. (2) There was little indication of any difference in attitude toward recruiting and promoting women administrators on the part of male conference administrators, college/university administrators, and academy administrators. (3) There was no perceptible difference in the attitude toward recruiting and promoting female administrators on the part of male administrators of different educational levels. (4) Male administrators of different age groups do not differ with respect to their attitude toward recruiting and promoting female administrators. Conclusions. The strong, positively expressed, attitudes are somewhat surprising, considering the small proportion of females among educational administrators. It is to be hoped that in the near future these attitudeswill bear fruit in practice. Greater opportunity should be given for women to participate in training programs for higher levels of educationaladministration. The respondents were strongly of the opinion that ordination is not generally essential for holding administrative positions within the church. It is recommended that the denomination reserve ordination for workers directly involved in pastoral ministry. Men and women should be honest with each other concerning their similarities and differences. They should both recognize the unique leadership qualities possessed by women which may provide a balance to male styles of management.
A Validation and Comparative Study of Kinetic Family Drawings of Native American Children
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Gregory Sheryl
Published: May 2023

Problem. Research on how Native American (NA) children draw their families and how perceptions of their families are reflected in their family drawings is lacking. The purpose of the study was (1) to validate the Kinetic Family Drawing (KFD) as an appropriate instrument for use with this population, and (2) to compare Native American and Caucasian children's KFDs. Method. The KFD and Semantic Differential Scales were administered to 52 Native American children from the Potawatomi and Iroquois tribes, ages 6-14. A matched sample of 104 KFDs of Caucasian children from Southern Michigan was used for comparison. The data were analyzed by multiple regression, t-tests, and analysis of variance. The value of alpha was set at.05. Results. (1) The Semantic Differential obtained significant correlations with the KFD. Family pictures drawn with the child outside, a higher level of activity of mother and self, mother and self involved in less nurturing activities, fewer barriers between mother and self, and less direct physical orientation between figures correlated with a higher rating of family relationships. (2) Statistically significant differences were found between the KFDs of Native American and Caucasian children, although the mode scores for both groups were identical for all KFD variables related to action, physical, position, and style characteristics. (3) Some differences were found between the KFDs of children differing in proportion of Native American ancestry and attendance rate at NA cultural events, although these differences were not the same for both groups. No differences were found relating to birth order. Differences between NA and Caucasian females and males were noted. The majority of the pictures were free from KFD style characteristics; over 67% drew all the figures facing forward. Conclusions. The findings of this study indicated that the KFD is a valid instrument for use with this population if cultural and mainstream societal trends are considered in the interpretation. Even though differences were apparent between Native American and Caucasian children, Native American children from this sample might be exhibiting a more acculturated picture than other minority groups. Generalizability was limited due to aself-selected, small sample size.
An Assessment of Effective Fund-Raising Policies Used at Private, Church-Related Undergraduate Colleges
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Grohar Albin
Published: May 2023

Problem. Much of what is known concerning fund-raising policies and practices at colleges in the United States is anecdotal. Few empirical studies have focused on any aspect of fund raising. No known empirical study has identified those fund-raising policies that might help church-related colleges to be more effective in generating gift income from private philanthropy. The purpose of this study was to bring to light those fund-raising policies that may be associated with effective fund-raising programs at church-related colleges. Method. Typically, fund-raising productivity is associated with total funds raised. An alternative way of assessing fund-raising effectiveness is to compare what each institution raises to its income potential, if this can be measured. Through multiple regression techniques, this study estimated the gift income potential of 234 church-related colleges using a set of financial resource and environmental position variables. By comparing the schools' actual income to their potential income, groups of over-productive and underproductive colleges were identified. A survey was sent to colleges in each group to determine the extent to which they implemented 16 fund-raising policies identified in the fund-raising literature. Hypotheses were developed to highlight those policies that were significantly associated with over-productivity in fund raising. Findings. (1) Significantly more of the over-productive colleges had a full complement of fund-raising functions such as an annual fund, prospect research, capital giving, and deferred or planned giving. (2) Over-productive colleges assigned a higher number of staff to the function known as institutional advancement. (3) Over-productive colleges had larger mailing lists of prospects. (4) A significantly higher number of over-productive colleges published a "President's Report." (5) Significantly more of the over-productive colleges had active trustee committees for development. Conclusions. Productivity in fund raising among church-related colleges is associated with higher levels of fund-raising effort, institutional responsiveness and accountability, and trustee leadership and involvement.
The Organizational Communication Climate and Utilization of Lines of Communication Within Purdue University Calumet
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Hack Judith
Published: May 2023

Problem. The study explored the health of organizational communication at an urban regional commuter campus of a midwestern university through use of Communication Climate, System-Semantic, and Episodic Communication Channels in Organizations (ECCO) methodologies. This combination of methodologies formed an internal audit of communication processes at the University (Spring 1992). The effectiveness of communication within the University after a 20-year period of significant internal change was studied. Method. Climate methodology measured Trust, Participative Decision-Making, Supportiveness, Openness, Listening, and Performance Goals aspects and a Composite Climate through written surveys with Faculty, Clerical and Service staff, and Administrative/Professional groups. System-Semantics methodology utilized (1) phone interviews to identify channels of communication in use and establish predictor valences (Grapevine Profile), and (2) written surveys to measure affective associations (System-Semantics Profile) in regard to selected lines of communication. Student, Faculty, Clerical/Service, Administrative/Professional groups were included. ECCO methodology measured utilization of lines of communication along functional and scalar dimensions. Serial administration of three written surveys among the Administrative/Professional group relative to message receipt, accuracy, source, flow, medium, and locus were conducted. Results. Climate methodology revealed four significant differences among the Faculty and Clerical and Service staff groups (three aspects and the Composite). Supportiveness Climate was negatively evaluated, whereas Concern for High Performance Goals Climate was positively evaluated. System-Semantics methodology revealed 19 primary channels of communication with negative valences. Channels selected for further study had neutral affective associations. One bipolar adjectival pair was found to significantly differ in use between the Student andthe Clerical and Service staff groups. Four bipolar adjectival pairs on the survey instrument were revealed as significant. ECCO methodology revealed three significant differences (flow) among functional areas and scalar levels and two significant differences (receipt, accuracy) at scalar levels of the Administrative/Professional staff in some messages. Conclusion. All methodologies were found appropriate to this study of a University's organizational communication. The study provided the University Administration with an internal communication review and its members with an avenue for expression. Implementing recommendations of the study could enhance the University's advancement and development.
The Empirical Development of an Instructional Product for the Training of Seventh-day Adventist Literature Evangelists
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Horning Randy
Published: May 2023

Problem. This study addressed the training needs of SDA literature evangelists through an empirically developed curriculum. Method. The instructional product development method of Baker and Schutz (1971) served as the basis for this research. After the need for the product was established, a series of behavioral objectives was written. The criteria for evaluation of the behavioral objectives were obtained from current sales literature as it applied to the work of literature evangelists. Additionally, a study of training literature was reviewed for methods to increase the effectiveness of the training seminar. The curriculum was presented in the form of a two-day seminar. Mastery was set at 80% of the participants scoring at least 80% on each of the 20 behavioral objectives. Practicing literature evangelists in different regions of the United States were utilized as representative of the target population. The seminar was first presented in the United states to groups in the central and southern parts of the East coast. As the product was modified, it was presented again to groups in California and in North Carolina. Results. Eighty percent of the literature evangelists scored at or above the 80% mastery level on each of the 20 objectives. Conclusions. The instructional product was considered successful in meeting the basic training needs of SDA literature evangelists. Because the SDA church lacks any such training program for literature evangelists, this empirically developed curriculum could be considered for use as a secondary level course for the training of professional literature evangelists.
The Empirical Development of a Curriculum in Sports Acrobatics and Spiritual Witnessing
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Kalua Robert
Published: May 2023

Problem. The purpose of this project was to develop empirically a curriculum to assist Seventh-day Adventist sports acrobatic coaches, physical education instructors, physical education majors and minors to integrate spiritual witnessing concepts into their acrobatics programs. Method. The developmental process of Baker and Schutz (1971) was used to produce and validate the instructional product. First, the content of a curriculum to train Seventh-day Adventist coaches was identified through an examination of acro-gymnastic and witnessing literature. The materials were divided into instructional units, arranged in a logical sequence, and introduced with behavioral objectives. It was established that the product would be successful when 80% of the subjects achieved at least 80% on each objective. In the developmental process, the product was revised several times. Some units were expanded while others were streamlined. Weaknesses exposed during the tryout stages were corrected and participants' and instructor's manuals were prepared. At the conclusion of the final presentation, the required standard for mastery was attained on all objectives. Results. The instructional product met the established criteria -- 80% of the subjects reached each objective at or above the 80% mastery level. The witnessing model. During the development of the witnessing model, it was discovered that assurance of salvation is not common among Seventh-day Adventist young people and they are particularly confused about the concept of "God's wrath." They also expressed feelings of not being "good enough" to please God. The impact of the material showing that God is not their enemy gives people hope and good news to which they can witness. Younger SDA youth responded to the concept that God loves them and desires to take them home with Him. However, at the college level, this concept is much more difficult for them to accept. Obtaining eternal life, to many, seemed to be a "gamble."
The Sinaitic Covenant and Law in the Theology of Dispensationalism
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Ahn Keumyoung
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the dispensational position concerning the Sinaitic covenant and law and to evaluate it. The design of the study includes three major sections: the historical (chaps. 2-3), the descriptive (chap. 4), and the critical (chaps. 5-6). Chapter 2 presents the meaning of Dispensationalism and briefly outlines its origin and its modern development in North America. Chapter 3 reviews the covenant theologians' hermeneutics in respect to the Sinaitic covenant and their conflicts with Dispensationalists, with the analysis of the main differences between the old and new positions of dispensational theology on the Sinaitic covenant and law. Most covenant theologians consider the Sinaitic covenant as the continuum of the previous covenants and reject the dispensational idea of the covenant of works. Chapter 4 presents the contemporary dispensational concept of the fundamental features of the Sinaitic covenant and law. According to it, the Sinaitic covenant is conditional, temporal, and legal, and because of an indivisible unit, the Mosaic law, including the Decalogue, has been abolished at the cross and has become irrelevant to the church. The phrase "the law of Christ" means the law of love rather than a concrete corpus of Christian norms. Chapters 5 and 6 evaluate the dispensational view of the Sinaitic covenant and law. The basic problem does not arise from the covenant itself but from Israel which regarded it as a juridical relationship without faith and love. Unconditionality--the expression of God's love--and conditionality--the response of participants--are the two aspects of the same covenant. The promises and grace always precede the requirements of the participants, which is a way of preserving the love-relationship with God who saved His people. It is foreign for the biblical writers to separate pure law from the Decalogue, to see the Sermon on the Mount primarily applicable to the millennial kingdom, or to assume an antithetical relationship between law and grace. Chapter 7 presents a synthesis of the results of this descriptive, critical investigation.
Experiences of International Students at a Canadian University
Authors: Howe Edward , Ramirez Gloria , Walton Patrick
Published: May 2023

Universities in Canada are increasingly attracting international students, but few studies have examined their experiences. This research identified the key supports and barriers for international students in order to make policy-relevant recommendations. This convergent mixed-methods study combined survey (n = 104) and interview (n = 14) data to investigate international student experiences through the lens of international students. Exploratory factor analyses revealed writing and mathematics skills and relationships with faculty and students as key factors for success. Frequency analyses revealed that racism was a persistent barrier. Assistance, access, diversity and equity issues were also raised. Open and axial coding of qualitative data corroborated these findings and revealed three dimensions of internationalization according to international students’ perspectives: Exchange; Understanding, Sharing, and Support; and Transformation. Recommendations to universities included offering bursaries to international students from underrepresented regions, developing intercultural awareness of faculty, and providing program-specific student support centres with peer mentors.
СПЕЦИФІКА ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ ВЗАЄМОВІДНОСИН ДЕРЖАВИ ТА ГРОМАДЯНСЬКОГО СУСПІЛЬСТВА ЯК ОСНОВА МОДЕРНІЗАЦІЇ ДЕРЖАВНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ
Authors: ЮСІФ Агазаде
Published: May 2023

У статті проаналізована специфіка трансформації взаємовідносин держави та громадянського суспільства як основа модернізації державного управління. Зазначено, що питання взаємодії держави та громадянського суспільства не тільки вкрай актуальне у сучасному світі, а й вкрай складне. Під враженням потужного розвитку демократичних процесів чимало фахівців із великою дозою ейфорії стверджують, що сьогодні громадянське суспільство «перемагає» державу, але не зменшується кількість і тих, хто вважає, що держава не повинна втрачати свій контроль над суспільством. Зазначено, що взаємодія держави та суспільства передбачає такі основні форми: кооперація, конкуренція, конфлікт. Кооперація – це співпраця. У взаємодії держави та суспільства такої співпраці в «ідеальному» вигляді реально не існує. Особливо, якщо йдеться про держави перехідного (радикально) стану, що трансформуються; конкуренція – це певна боротьба за цінності, інтереси, власність, престиж тощо. Звичайно, суперництво між державою та суспільством фактично завжди має місце; конфлікт – може бути і прихованим, і відкритим, але те, що він невигідний ні державі, ні суспільству – факт. Найчастіше такі конфлікти виникають на основі різних оцінок та ставлення до влади, гострих соціальних проблем. У будь-якому випадку, це завжди конфлікт інтересів та цінностей перед обома суб'єктами зіткнення стоїть завдання забезпечити максимально вигідним, насамперед для людини, суспільства вихід (дозвіл) з конфлікту. Обґрунтовано, що на тлі різних трактувань феномену «громадянське суспільство», найціннішим було і залишається його трактування як специфічного соціального простору, де діють, взаємодіють вільні, рівноправні і, одночасно, незалежні один від одного індивіди. Звідси «проростає» потреба всіх країн насамперед забезпечити права та свободи людини, забезпечити їй максимальні гарантії для всієї своєї життєдіяльності.
