Title: Toward an Authentic Understanding of Catholic School Identity.
Authors: Hurst, Christopher (AUTHOR)
Source: Educational Theory. Aug2024, Vol. 74 Issue 4, p473-491. 19p.
Subjects: Catholic education, Catholic identity, Catholic schools, Research personnel, Public schools, Social mobility
Abstract: Researchers have studied Catholic schools for decades, often in an attempt to extrapolate from them lessons that may help public schools accomplish similar levels of academic achievement and other desirable goals, such as social mobility, social efficiency, and democratic equality. But research that attempts to understand Catholic education from a secular perspective inevitably misunderstands the purpose of education that Catholic schools themselves claim to pursue, i.e., beatitude. This unique purpose is the source of Catholic school identity. Here, Christopher Hurst argues that by considering Catholic education as the practice of a distinctly Catholic tradition, researchers can authentically assess how well Catholic schools are achieving their own stated goals, and whether their practices can be applied outside of a particular Catholic context.
