Accountability pressures in education have risen steadily over the last two decades and public schools and districts now track school- and student-level data in response to state and federal mandates. Catholic schools and dioceses have not faced the same level of regulation over this period, and less is known about data access and use in the Catholic sector. This descriptive and exploratory research draws on survey and interview data from a national sample of Catholic school superintendents to examine data practices in diocesan central offices as well as barriers faced in the use of data. Findings suggest that although considerable variation exists among dioceses, common data efforts include working toward data centralization, developing tools to monitor the operational health of schools, and finding ways to foster the data culture within dioceses. These practices were present in close to half of all dioceses, but several common challenges related to governance, resources, and data systems hindered progress in and toward these efforts.
在过去的二十年里,教育领域的问责压力稳步上升,公立学校和学区现在根据州和联邦的要求跟踪学校和学生水平的数据。在此期间,天主教学校和教区没有面临同样程度的监管,对天主教部门的数据访问和使用知之甚少。这一描述性和探索性研究借鉴了天主教学校负责人的全国样本的调查和访谈数据,以检查教区中央办公室的数据实践以及在使用数据时面临的障碍。调查结果表明,尽管各教区之间存在相当大的差异,但共同的数据努力包括朝着数据集中的方向努力,开发工具来监控学校的运营状况,并找到在教区内培养数据文化的方法。这些做法出现在近一半的教区,但与治理、资源和数据系统有关的几个共同挑战阻碍了这些努力的进展。

This study explored the experience of Catholic school principals in Ohio whose schools have participated in the EdChoice Scholarship program. The researcher employed the lens of principal time usage to examine the experiences of Ohio Catholic school principals with EdChoice, with a focus on the direct experiences of principals participating in the program, the principal’s role in the supervisory aspects of operating the program at a school, and on the connections between workload and principal perceptions of the EdChoice program. The research questions were explored through semi-structured interviews with eight Catholic school principals and three administrative designees at those schools. The study concluded that no significant and direct administrative burden was created by the program on the study participants, but that secondary effects are present, such as the potential need for the hiring of a staff member to manage the program and the importance of communication with stakeholders. Additionally, this study illustrated the need for Catholic school principals to remain aware of and engaged in the legislative process in Ohio, as changes made by the government can have a direct effect on the operation of a school.
本研究探讨了俄亥俄州天主教学校校长的经验,他们的学校参与了教育选择奖学金计划。研究人员采用校长时间使用的视角来研究俄亥俄州天主教学校校长使用EdChoice的经验,重点关注校长参与该计划的直接经验,校长在学校运营该计划的监督方面所扮演的角色,以及工作量与校长对EdChoice计划的看法之间的联系。研究的问题是通过半结构式访谈八个天主教学校校长和三个行政人员在这些学校探讨。研究得出的结论是,该计划没有给研究参与者带来重大和直接的行政负担,但存在次要影响,例如雇佣一名工作人员来管理该计划的潜在需求,以及与利益相关者沟通的重要性。此外,这项研究说明了天主教学校校长需要继续了解并参与俄亥俄州的立法程序,因为政府所做的改变会对学校的运作产生直接影响。

This qualitative study used a phenomenological approach and the Marianist characteristics as a conceptual framework to understand the experiences of six lay Marianist educational leaders during COVID-19. Findings indicated that during the pandemic leaders were faced with challenges pertaining to receiving an excess of information, inequity in technology, serving students with various learning needs, and the socioemotional health of students and teachers. Despite these difficulties, these leaders were able to uphold the Marianist characteristics of educating for adaptation and change, educating in family spirit, and for formation in faith. This study is significant because it provides the unique perspectives of how leaders of a Marianist urban high school were able to advance their mission during the global health pandemic. This study also adds to the crisis and Marianist leadership bodies of literature.
本定性研究采用现象学方法,并以马里安主义特征为概念框架,了解六位非信徒马里安主义教育领袖在COVID-19期间的经历。调查结果表明,在大流行期间,领导者面临着与接收过多信息、技术不平等、为有各种学习需求的学生提供服务以及学生和教师的社会情感健康有关的挑战。尽管有这些困难,这些领导人能够坚持玛丽亚主义的特点,即教育适应和改变,教育家庭精神,培养信仰。这项研究具有重要意义,因为它提供了一个独特的视角,说明在全球卫生大流行期间,一所玛丽安主义城市高中的领导者如何能够推进他们的使命。本研究还增加了危机主义和玛丽安主义的领导体文学。

The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to examine how the perceptions and experiences of teachers relate to the suspension and expulsion of preschoolers in Catholic schools.Results indicated that teachers have a range of experiences with suspension, from children being removed from the classroom temporarily to out-of-school suspensions lasting up to a week. Most participants also had experienced expelling a student because of behavior. Patterns that emerged from the data included a frequency of extreme behavior from some children, the application of various strategies in response to challenging behavior, the use of exclusionary discipline when other strategies did not work, and a resistance to change practices without additional supports. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
本探索性质的研究旨在探讨教师对天主教学校学龄前儿童停学和开除的看法和经验。结果表明,教师有各种各样的停学经历,从孩子暂时离开教室到校外停学长达一周。大多数参与者也有过因为行为问题而被开除的经历。从数据中出现的模式包括一些孩子极端行为的频率,对具有挑战性的行为应用各种策略,当其他策略不起作用时使用排他性纪律,以及在没有额外支持的情况下抵制改变做法。讨论了对研究和实践的启示。

As Catholic schools serve an increasingly racially diverse population of students, they must grapple with the critical requirement to address these students’ unique needs while heeding the call from modern Catholic Church leaders to engage in explicit antiracist action. Using the Historically Responsive Literacy Framework (HRL), this article equips Catholic high school English language arts (ELA) teachers with practical and powerful ways to create antiracist curriculum. To do this effectively, we place antiracist Young Adult (YA) literature (both fiction and nonfiction) in conversation with Catholic canonical texts and modern voices from Catholic clergy members. By connecting with students’ complex identities and creating authentic antiracist learning experiences, Catholic high school ELA teachers can better prepare their students to use both their knowledge and criticality of Catholic social teachings and their individual identities to combat racism.
随着天主教学校为越来越多的种族多样化的学生提供服务,他们必须努力满足这些学生的独特需求,同时听取现代天主教会领导人的呼吁,采取明确的反种族主义行动。本文利用历史反应性读写框架(HRL),为天主教高中英语语言艺术(ELA)教师提供了实用而有力的方法来创建反种族主义课程。为了有效地做到这一点,我们将反种族主义的青少年文学(包括小说和非小说)与天主教规范文本和天主教神职人员的现代声音进行了对话。通过与学生复杂的身份联系并创造真实的反种族主义学习体验,天主教高中ELA教师可以更好地为学生做好准备,利用他们对天主教社会教义的知识和批判性以及他们的个人身份来对抗种族主义。

As a ministry of the Catholic Church, Catholic schools are charged with educating stu­dents’ hearts and minds. Multiple standardized academic tests and other student assessments are available for monitoring both student and teacher outcomes in Catholic schools, but fewer measures exist for considering the school’s faith-related mission. Although tests of student religious knowledge and benchmarks related to specific Catholic elements of the school are available, we do not yet have a robust set of instruments that provide teachers and leaders an understanding of their progress in providing a school environment permeated by Catholic culture and faith. To consider how students in Catholic schools perceive the Catholicity of their school and how these perceptions vary among different student groups, we developed, piloted, and validated the Sense of School Catholic Iden­tity Survey (SSCI). This 20-­item survey measures Grade 5 through 8 students’ perceptions of their Catholic school as personal and invitational, sacramental, unitive, and eucharistic. Findings from the pilot study suggest that responses differ by student grade level, religious tradition, and gender. Future testing of the scale will examine school­-level differences in Catholic identity.
作为天主教会的一个部门,天主教学校负责教育学生的心灵和思想。在天主教学校,有多种标准化的学术测试和其他学生评估可以用来监测学生和教师的成绩,但考虑到学校与信仰有关的使命的措施却很少。虽然有对学生宗教知识的测试和与学校特定天主教元素有关的基准,但我们还没有一套强有力的工具,使教师和领导了解他们在提供充满天主教文化和信仰的学校环境方面取得的进展。为了考虑天主教学校的学生如何感知他们学校的天主教性,以及这些感知在不同的学生群体中如何变化,我们开发,试点并验证了学校天主教身份调查(SSCI)。这项包含20个项目的调查测量了五年级到八年级学生对他们的天主教学校的个人和邀请,圣礼,统一和圣餐的看法。试点研究的结果表明,学生的反应因年级、宗教传统和性别而异。该量表的未来测试将检查学校层面的天主教身份差异。

This qualitative phenomenology investigated the job-related experiences of early career Catholic elementary school principals (N = 13) in the Mideastern region of the United States. Data were collected from an introductory survey, semi-structured interviews, two focus groups, and a participant designed plan for professional development. The findings indicated that Catholic elementary principals in their early career are motivated by a calling to a vocation in Catholic school leadership as well as the ability to develop and implement a vision for their school. Principals reported being challenged by limited resources, balancing the demands of the position, and navigating relationships. Finally, principals believed they are supported by diocesan administrators in the areas of human resources and student issues, particularly if the concerns have legal implications.

Views of Catholic Middle School Students on Handling Peer Aggression 天主教中学生对待同伴攻击的看法
Pub Date : 2022-06-01 DOI: 10.15365/joce.2501062022

Aggression toward peers who are perceived as weaker or different is a widespread problem for middle school students including those attending Catholic middle schools. Middle school students’ normative beliefs about the acceptability of various types of aggressive behavior influences their own potential involvement in bullying. Therefore, how middle schoolers decide to respond to situations of peer aggression may affect their standing as either victims, bystanders to bullies, or as bully-victims in school environments over time. This study looks at how middle schoolers (sixth, seventh, and eighth grade girls and boys) in Catholic schools think it best to respond to peer aggression by examining their decision-making preferences for how targeted peers (from a vulnerable group) should respond to physical, verbal, or cyber aggression situations. Although significant effects regarding gender, grade, and type of peer aggression were found for the decision-making of the middle schoolers, findings reveal that overall middle schoolers’ preferences were well developed for resisting peer aggression. The study provides important insights for how to supplement commonly existing curricula on social emotional learning in Catholic Schools with decision-making training inputs for the design of future school-based bullying prevention programs. Preparing middle schoolers in Catholic schools to respond to stop peer aggression in a proactive way supports the mission of Catholic schools to create safe and caring school environments.
对那些被认为较弱或与众不同的同龄人的攻击是包括天主教中学学生在内的中学生普遍存在的问题。中学生对各种类型的攻击行为的可接受性的规范性信念影响其自身潜在的欺凌参与。因此,随着时间的推移,中学生如何应对同伴攻击可能会影响他们在学校环境中作为受害者、欺凌的旁观者或欺凌的受害者的地位。这项研究考察了天主教学校的中学生(六年级、七年级和八年级的男女生)对同伴攻击的反应,考察了他们对目标同伴(来自弱势群体)如何应对身体、语言或网络攻击情况的决策偏好。虽然性别、年级和同伴攻击类型对中学生的同伴攻击决策有显著影响,但研究结果表明,中学生抵抗同伴攻击的偏好总体上发展良好。本研究为如何在天主教学校社会情绪学习课程的基础上补充决策训练输入,为未来校园欺凌预防项目的设计提供了重要的见解。让天主教学校的中学生以积极主动的方式应对同伴攻击,有助于天主教学校创造安全和关怀的学校环境。

Relationship between Course Placement Criteria and Mathematics Achievement in an All-Boys Catholic School 天主教男校课程分班标准与数学成绩的关系
Pub Date : 2022-06-01 DOI: 10.15365/joce.2501012022

This study explored the mathematics course placement process for incoming students in an all-boys Catholic high school. The sequential nature of mathematics significantly impacts students’ opportunity to learn; moreover, the mathematics course taken by a student during ninth grade can have far-reaching effects. Previous studies have found that ninth-grade students enrolled in Geometry, rather than Algebra 1, have a greater chance of completing advanced mathematics courses and experiencing increased mathematics success. Thus, adequately prepared students should be placed in Geometry whenever possible. To aid this effort, this study investigated whether a relationship exists between course placement criteria and future mathematics achievement. The study sample was comprised of students who graduated from the subject high school between 2015 and 2019 (N = 1067). The placement criteria examined were Acuity Algebra Proficiency Test results, High School Placement Test mathematics scores, and eighth-grade teacher recommendations. ACT mathematics scores were used as measures of success; binary logistic regression was utilized to determine strength of association between placement criteria and future mathematics achievement.

本研究探讨天主教男校新生的数学课程安排过程。数学的顺序性显著影响学生的学习机会;此外,学生在九年级学习的数学课程可以产生深远的影响。先前的研究发现,九年级的学生选修几何课程,而不是代数1,完成高等数学课程的机会更大,并且在数学上取得了更大的成功。因此,只要有可能,准备充分的学生应该被安排在几何课上。为了帮助这一努力,本研究调查了课程分配标准与未来数学成绩之间是否存在关系。研究样本由2015年至2019年从该高中毕业的学生组成(N = 1067)。测试的分班标准是:敏锐代数水平测试结果,高中分班测试数学成绩,以及八年级老师的推荐。ACT数学成绩被用作成功的衡量标准;采用二元逻辑回归来确定分班标准与未来数学成绩之间的关联强度。结果表明,敏锐度测试成绩与未来的数学成绩密切相关,而分班标准的组合比单独的课程分班措施更有效。讨论了进一步研究的意义。
{"title":"Relationship between Course Placement Criteria and Mathematics Achievement in an All-Boys Catholic School","authors":"Daniel McCue","doi":"10.15365/joce.2501012022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15365/joce.2501012022","url":null,"abstract":"This study explored the mathematics course placement process for incoming students in an all-boys Catholic high school. The sequential nature of mathematics significantly impacts students’ opportunity to learn; moreover, the mathematics course taken by a student during ninth grade can have far-reaching effects. Previous studies have found that ninth-grade students enrolled in Geometry, rather than Algebra 1, have a greater chance of completing advanced mathematics courses and experiencing increased mathematics success. Thus, adequately prepared students should be placed in Geometry whenever possible. To aid this effort, this study investigated whether a relationship exists between course placement criteria and future mathematics achievement. The study sample was comprised of students who graduated from the subject high school between 2015 and 2019 (N = 1067). The placement criteria examined were Acuity Algebra Proficiency Test results, High School Placement Test mathematics scores, and eighth-grade teacher recommendations. ACT mathematics scores were used as measures of success; binary logistic regression was utilized to determine strength of association between placement criteria and future mathematics achievement. Results indicate that Acuity test performance is strongly associated with future mathematics achievement, while combinations of placement criteria are more effective than individual course placement measures. Implications for further research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":248502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Catholic Education","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126330020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
