An Exploration of Spiritual Formation to Increase Awareness and Attachment to God, Self and Others
No full textBibliography: leaves 239-246he purpose of this portfolio was to explore spiritual formation through lectio Divina, spiritual direction and a focus group to increase awareness of attachment to God, self and others. The portfolio includes a spiritual autobiography (Chapter 2) that traces my life story and God’s presence in it. This is a wonderful tool in becoming more spiritually aware of the many movements of God throughout one’s lifetime. This is followed by a spiritual formation model (Chapter 3) that helps believers to answer the question Jesus asks, “Who do you say that I am?” Along with, “Who do you say that you are?” The model assists believers to explore their responses to these questions. Then a field research project (Chapter 4) is offered that tests the effectiveness of the model through the experience of five participants over a ten-day period.
The results of the project found in Chapter 4, points to a more secure attachment to God, self and others which was reported by four out of the five participants. Spiritual direction was well received by all participants. Participants also appreciated the mentoring provided and having the experience of someone listening with them for the movement of the Holy Spirit in their lives. All participants felt they would have benefited more if the project was longer in length. They suggested a time span of three months. Four of the five participants expressed a desire to continue studying using various components of the project. They stated it provided what was missing in their ability to increase attachment to God, self and others.Thesis (D.Min.)--Tyndale University College & Seminary, 2019."This is a research portfolio submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry, Tyndale Seminary."For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] – A Spiritual Autobiography – A spiritual Formation Model – A Participatory Action Research Project – Conclusions – Appendix – Reference Lis
Priming Ability EI to Impact Ability EI, Implicit Theories of EI, and Resilience
No full textBibliography: leaves 45-55.This study examines priming as a means to increase emotional intelligence and the relationship between implicit theories of emotional intelligence, ability emotional intelligence, and resilience. Individuals with greater resilience have been connected to high emotional intelligence and growth mindset. The question that guided the study was: can priming emotional intelligence lead to a stronger growth mindset, and thereby also higher resilience? The sample included 71 undergraduate students (59 female, 11 male, one did not answer) from a small university in Ontario. Participants were randomly assigned to a successful emotional competency self-schema prime condition or a control condition. Then they completed two measures for Elder (in progress), an ability measure of emotional intelligence (the MSCEIT), a growth mindset measure, and a resilience measure. There was not a significant difference between the prime condition and the control condition in ability EI, growth mindset, and resilience. There was an interaction between condition and growth mindset for the MSCEIT branch understanding emotions, in that the discrepancy between moderate and high growth mindset was greater for those in prime condition. There were no significant correlations for growth mindset with any of the emotional intelligence scores. The overall emotional intelligence score and the area score for emotional experiencing was correlated to resilience in only the control condition. Multiple limitations in the methodology of the study are discussed that might have led to a lack of significant results. These findings failed to demonstrate an impact of the prime on EI, but extend research on the relationship between implicit theories of EI, ability EI, and resilience.Thesis (BA Honours)--Tyndale University College & Seminary, 2019.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] -- Method -- Results -- Discussion -- References

The Impact of a Staff Performance Management System on Performance Outcomes and Employee Commitment in a Private, Christian, Higher Education Institution
No full textBibliography: leaves 213-221.This thesis explored performance management in a private, Christian, Canadian, higher education institution. A Model for Effective Performance Management was developed which served as a framework for a participatory action research project that piloted a staff performance review process and tool aimed at improving employee performance and organizational commitment of university staff employees. Seven university departments were part of the pilot project which included participating in supervisor training, testing a new performance review process and tool, and providing post-pilot feedback. Post-pilot online survey results and interviews with leaders demonstrated a higher rate of completed performance reviews, increased competency and comfort level of supervisors/appraisers to lead performance review conversations, and increased employee commitment and performance resulting from the performance review experience. There are opportunities for HR professionals, churches, and para-church organizations to use and benefit from this research and the Model for Effective Performance Management.Thesis (D.Min.)--Tyndale University College & Seminary, 2019.For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] -- Performance Management Theories and Practices, and Organization Change Theory -- Theological Framework -- Project Research Methodology, Methods and Findings -- Interpretations, Conclusions, Further Study and Implications -- Appendice
Development and Evaluation of a Manual to Assist Participants in Credential Disciplinary Processes in the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada
No full textBibliography: leaves 197-201A need was identified in The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) to clarify the disciplinary procedures outlined in the General Constitution and By- Laws (GCB 2018, 42-52). Individuals engaged in various dimensions of the disciplinary process noted the challenge of appropriately understanding and
applying the by-laws in actual disciplinary experiences.
This thesis-project utilized Action Research (AR) and incorporated Curriculum Development (CD) to create and evaluate a manual to assist all participants in the constitutional disciplinary process of the PAOC. The manual was originally drafted by the author. Feedback was then received from individuals
with expertise in the area of church discipline, both internal and external to the PAOC. This feedback enabled valuable amendment to and evaluation of the manual. Data was collected through an initial questionnaire, responses from two panels of experts, an evaluation by practitioners, self-assessments, and participant journaling. The manual is available to all PAOC leadership responsible for the
oversight of credential disciplinary processes in the PAOC and has the potential of enabling greater understanding of the disciplinary processes by each participant.Thesis (D.
