Описание
Итог:In the Netherlands 'identity of Christian schools' has become a standard expression in discussions about Christian schools. However, it is a rather abstract and general expression and it is reasonable to assume that a closer look at literature and practice will present us with a more diverse picture of its meaning and practical implications. This article describes an empirical study, in three Protestant primary schools, into conceptions of 'identity of Christian schools' and the practical implications of these conceptions. It compares the ideas and practices of the teachers with each other and with Dutch academic literature on Christian schools. The comparisons illustrate that the interpretation of the religious dimension of 'identity' has most influence on ideas about the aims and practices of a Christian school.
