The Master's Level Graduate Research Conference is supported by the Office of Graduate Studies.
This research examines the relationship between spirituality and effective teaching. The purpose is to better understand the connections between spirituality and teaching: how participants choose the career of teaching, how it affects their teaching and also how it affects their students. Clarifying and defining spirituality, the researcher conducts a series of individual interviews with teacher educators at both private and public institutions of higher education. The results indicate a correlation between a person’s religious or non-religious spirituality and their choice of teaching as a career. A person’s spirituality is a major part of their decision to teach as well as how they teach. This is a limited survey. A broader base study including other area colleges and other aspects of teaching is needed to more firmly identify and establish the connection between education and spirituality.
