Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, EDU Teaching and Learning.
The central purpose of this dissertation study is to gain a deeper understanding of spirituality in education. This study explores how students and teachers spiritually understand themselves and their lives; and how school, teaching, and learning contributes to students and teachers’ spiritual sense and understanding of themselves and their lives. This dissertation is a narrative case study of a public alternative high school in South Korea and the stories of its students and teachers. This study is guided by the epistemological standpoint of the spirituality paradigm in qualitative research and the inquiry strategies of case study and narrative inquiry. The findings of this dissertation study demonstrate how a school can contribute to students’ spiritual growth and in-depth self-understanding, and how students and teachers make sense of and meaning about themselves and their lives at a school where in-depth understanding and connection with themselves and others are valued. The findings of this study contribute to research on embracing spirituality in education and can deepen educators’ understanding of spirituality.
