Diversity as a Hidden Dimension in the Narratives of Church School Students

Summary/Abstract: In studies about the aims and characteristics of church schools it is increasingly important to listen to the students’ voices as active and constructive factors of the schools. In the present exploratory research, we interviewed 37 students who had recently graduated from a church school or who are graduating in the current academic year. Interviewees were asked to recall stories that reveal their perceptions about the defining characteristics of their schools and what they identify as the schools’ hidden purposes and messages. A key concept that emerged by the end of the analysis was the aspect of „diversity, plurality”. Students mentioned these notions as activating factors for their personal resources such as dealing with life issues or shaping their own worldviews and belief systems. The paper presents the connections of the core category and the meanings students assign to it.
