Abstract

Catholic education is closely linked to the evangelical mission of the Church. As such, the primary intent of Catholic education is to proclaim the message of salvation to all people. Accordingly, Catholic education aims to provide an integral formation with a religious dimension that will equip the human person to become life, work, and mission ready and attain salvation. But given the contemporary socio-economic, cultural, political, and technological milieus characterized by a secular and consumerist view and praxis, the value of Catholic education may have been obscured or affected.  Thus, this paper aims to investigate and analyze the views and practices of the faculty of a Catholic University about Catholic education. The purposive sampling method was used to determine the participants in the study. Using a qualitative research design, the data were gathered from the participants using the face-to-face interview method. Aided by the phenomenological method, the findings discovered semblance in the participants' views and practices of Catholic education with that of Catholic Church. Despite the observed undesirable elements that obscure and marginalize it, Catholic education faithfully remains a Catholic. But making religion as the core of the curriculum of Catholic education is still a great challenge for Catholic schools to realize. Thus, the collaboration of all stakeholders is vital to address this perennial challenge in Catholic education.
天主教教育的再思考:一所天主教大学教师的经验
天主教教育与教会的福音使命紧密相连。因此,天主教教育的主要目的是向所有人宣扬救恩的信息。因此,天主教教育的目标是提供一个具有宗教维度的整体形成,使人准备好生活,工作和使命,并获得救赎。但考虑到当代社会经济、文化、政治和技术环境的特点是世俗和消费主义的观点和实践,天主教教育的价值可能已经被模糊或受到影响。因此,本文旨在调查和分析天主教大学教师对天主教教育的看法和做法。采用目的抽样法确定研究对象。采用定性研究设计,采用面对面访谈法从参与者中收集数据。在现象学方法的帮助下,研究结果发现了参与者对天主教教育的看法和实践与天主教会的相似之处。尽管观察到不受欢迎的因素模糊和边缘化它,天主教教育忠实地保持天主教。但将宗教作为天主教教育课程的核心,对天主教学校来说仍是一个巨大的挑战。因此,所有利益相关者的合作对于解决天主教教育中这一长期挑战至关重要。
