A Phenomenology of the Integration of Faith and Learning

Abstract: This phenomenological investigation examined how eight student-nominated faculty who teach at an evangelical Christian liberal arts university describe their understanding and practice of the Integration of Faith and Learning (IFL). Collected data via informal, conversational, taped interviews led to the emergence of two primary themes: the Inseparability of Faith from Practice and the Outworking of Faith in Practice. The findings of the study highlight the need

“…In contrast, other students found the role boundary between faculty and student important for attachment to take place. Sites, Garzon, Milacci, and Boothe (2009) further explored the personal characteristics of faculty in a phenomenological study of eight professors identi ed by students as exemplars in teaching integratively. Ma-jor themes emphasized the inseparability of professors' faith from practice, and the outworking of their faith into their pedagogy and their relationships.…”

In Sites, Garzon, Milacci, and Boothe's (2009) phenomenological study, students identified eight professors as integration-teaching exemplars. Themes identified for these professors included seeing their faith as inseparable from their practice as professors, and faith naturally outworking into their pedagogy and relationships with students.…”
