Three validity evidence sources (test content, internal structure, and relationships to other variables) from the responses of 365 educators, purposely sampled from 36 US states, are presented to explore the use of the instrument, Early Childhood Educators' Spiritual Practices in the Classroom (ECE-SPC). Findings show expert panel agreed items accurately represented the desired construct and recommendations for revising multidimensional items were made by a psychometrician. The Rasch measurement analysis recommended collapsing the five-point frequency scale to four-point and removing two reverse-scored items. The revised instrument demonstrated excellent item fit, person and item reliability, separation, and practical unidimensionality. Relationships to other variables were established through no significant differences based on educator demographics. Differences were found based on school setting and educator values of spirituality, which aligned with expected differences. ECE-SPC is recommended as a self-report instrument, to determine to what extent early childhood educators nurture children’s spirituality in secular educational settings.

ABSTRACT This paper analyses professional approaches to supporting the spirituality of children and adolescents in vulnerable situation, in the daily life of socio-educational centres. A concurrent mixed method design research project is presented with data gathered using a Questionnaire on Inwardness for Professionals working with Teenagers and Children (Cuestionario de Interioridad para Profesionales de Adolescencia e Infancia-CIPAI) created ad hoc for the project. The study was carried out in the XACS network (Social Educational Centres Network) made up of 23 non-profit centres from Barcelona (Spain). Answers were received from 128 professionals, making up 64.6% of the total number of replies, and from 14 centres, representing 61% of the centres. Conclusions: The professionals state that spirituality is worked on cross-cuttingly in the centre’s educational programme. Most of the activities for working on an inner life that they consider successful incorporate mediating elements that assist in the expression of more abstract ideas or feelings.

ABSTRACT This article aims to facilitate the transition from a religious definition of spiritual literacy to a non-religious, secular one. Philosophical anthropology emphasises the spiritual dimension as an anthropological constant. However, research in various fields frequently considers its intersection with religiousness. Non-religious spirituality cultivates experiences of transcendence but does not enter into the processes of hierophany (the sacred, the holy). The term ‘spiritual literacy’, which emphasises that the given mode of human experience is not constant but can be intentionally cultivated, proves optimal for education even in secular environment of public schools. A spiritually literate (cultivated) personality is an individual who reflects and cultivates skills of self-reflection, who can act in relation to other people in a mode characterised by prosocial orientation and altruism, who can experience environmental sensitivity and kinship with nature, and who is capable of astonishment and amazement at experiencing transcendence in relation to the wholeness.

ABSTRACT Children who spend quality time with their mothers are able to have positive spiritual development However, mothers who work are often unable to spend enough quality time with their children. This qualitative phenomenological study was conducted to examine the spirituality of children with academic mothers in Turkey. The children were asked how their mothers’ academic careers affected their spiritual states. The data were collected through in-depth face-to-face interviews and evaluated using content analysis. A total of 21 children participated in the study. Three main themes and five subthemes were determined in the analysis. These themes were (1) the negative effects of mothers’ academic careers on the spiritual statuses of their children (negative emotions, decreased communication in their families, and disruption of home routines), (2) the positive effects of mothers’ academic careers on the spiritual statuses of their children (positive emotions and financial independence), and (3) the children’s expectations of their mothers.

chapters are relevant. The result is a bibliography which not only focuses on sociocultural factors but also provides those new to the field with a comprehensive introduction to seminal and other useful works on children’s spirituality as a whole. Readers of annotated bibliographies can be forgiven for thinking that they are simple to compile. After all, they are effectively a summary of reading in a given field, organised into themes, annotated with the author’s comments. Yet compiling one is not an easy task. Readers may well argue that a certain publication should have been included, or that another should have been excluded, perhaps because it is not sufficiently aligned to the topic. Yet the issue of inclusion and exclusion (applicable to bibliographies irrespective of their subject matter) is compounded when, as in this case, the topic itself is difficult to define, but Eaude is fully cognisant of these circumstances. Although bibliographies differ from book chapters and articles in purpose and format, for example by not making a specific argument and not having a conclusion, they still provide insights into the state of research in the area. Here, Eaude regularly identifies omissions in the field, such as the lack of research: in non-Western cultures; on the effects of gender and ethnicity/race; and on systematically exploring the differences in spirituality across age groups, especially with very young children. In so doing, the work also provides a useful, overarching critique and identification of areas for future research. The fact that articles on different aspects of children’s spirituality are included in the database is welcome, and Eaude’s addition is a valuable one. He has provided a carefully crafted overview of relevant literature, which provides a detailed roadmap for all who are interested in the sociocultural aspects of children’s spirituality – both newcomers to the field and those who are already familiar with it – alongside a critique which identifies future avenues for research. Overall, Eaude’s bibliography certainly aligns with the publisher’s intention of being an authoritative guide to current scholarship.
