Views of children and young people in foster care survey: education
No full textThis paper explores the educational experiences of children and young people living in foster care in Queensland. Findings are drawn from the responses of 845 children and 1180 young people to the 2011 Views of Children and Young People in Foster Care survey, which is a rich source of information about children’s and young people’s attitudes towards and perceptions of their own education. Findings relate to educational status, key markers of educational disadvantage including suspensions and exclusions, and specific problems children and young people experience at school, as well as children’s and young people’s enjoyment of school and aspirations for the future. Information about educational support, including Educational Support Plans and support provided by Child Safety Officers and Community Visitors are also presented. Where relevant, comparisons are made between the 2011 survey results and prior surveys conducted in 2006, 2007 and 2009. Relationships between key educational measures as well as relationships to other important measures of health and placement stability are also explored.
The findings suggest that children and young people continue to experience educational disadvantage, including high rates of suspension and exclusion and a range of problems at school including problems with schoolwork, bullying and behaviour and that these difficulties can be exacerbated by the child protection system, for example, through placement instability. However, there are reasons for optimism. Children and young people are overwhelmingly likely to report that they enjoy school, expect to complete Year 12 and that their teachers generally like their schoolwork. Furthermore, over time, the proportions of young people reporting that they have an Educational Support Plan have grown, and, importantly, they are more likely to report that these plans are helpful. Analyses in relation to a number of educational variables reveal that young people with a plan they consider to be helpful fare better. Children and young people were also positive about the important role that CSOs and CVs are able to play in supporting their education.
While educational disadvantage is an enduring problem, the survey findings provide evidence of progress in key areas and suggestions for how continued improvements may be made
Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ
Peter - apocalyptic seer: the influence of the apocalypse genre on Matthew’s portrayal of Peter
No full textThis study fills a gap in previous research concerning the portrayal of Peter in
Matthew, especially the research of narrative-critical studies. Although narrative-critical
studies generally recognize that Matthew has portrayed Peter and the disciples
as recipients of revelation at points, they almost entirely neglect the apocalypses or
apocalyptic literature more broadly as a potentially helpful background for this motif,
nor does the motif itself figure significantly into their conclusions. Therefore, Part 1
of this study examines fourteen different Jewish and Christian apocalypses in order to
determine generic aspects of how the apocalypses portray their seers, and to identify
specific textual features that support these generic aspects of a seer’s portrayal. These
specific textual features then provide the guiding coordinates for Part 2, which
assesses the influence of the generic portrayal of apocalyptic seers on the portrayal of
Peter and the disciples in Matthew’s Gospel and main source, Mark’s Gospel. Like
the apocalypses, both Evangelists deploy the features of exclusionary statements,
narrative isolation, dissemination details, and emphasis of cognitive humanity and
emotional-physical humanity to portray Peter and the disciples as the exclusive
recipients of revealed mysteries, and as humans who encounter the mysteries of the
divine realm. This leads to the conclusion that both Evangelists envisaged Peter and
the disciples as apocalyptic seers in some sense. However, Matthew’s redaction of
Markan source material, incorporation of Q source material, and his own special
material yield a more fully developed, or more explicit, portrayal of Peter and the
disciples as apocalyptic seers than his Markan predecessor. The study concludes by
focusing directly on Peter’s significance for Matthew and his earliest audience. The
research suggests that Peter’s significance was, in part, as principal apocalyptic seer,
which requires revision to the predominant scholarly conclusions about Peter in
Matthew
