Project Results

According to the project, material for qualitative analysis was obtained from extensive interviews with 10 workers engaged in ethical and moral education in the schools as well as in youth organizations, and from individual examination of 20 adolescent students of the third grade of Prague gymnasiums (17-18 years old). Together with an extensive study of relevant literature, the results so obtained were used to formulate several theoretical and methodological papers presented at scientific conferences in the Czech Republic as well as abroad, and prepared for publication in conference proceedings and in scientific journals. Among these, an extensive paper called “Spiritual basis of moral education” appears in the next issue of  the leading journal in the field, Pedagogika.
A new multimedial test of spiritual intelligence, called “Test of spiritual sensitivity” was proposed and preliminarily tried out. Also from the program originally planned for the year 2006, 150 adolescents were examined by group methods and their results prepared for mathematical-statistical evaluation
