Christian Ethics of Farmed Animal Welfare - Impact in Schools and Theological Education

该项目扩大了AHRC资助的基督教农场动物福利伦理(CEFAW)研究项目在两个新的教育背景下的影响：学校和神学教育机构(TEIS)。这一后续影响项目与学校和TEIS的新合作伙伴合作，为CEFAW研究的重大额外影响提供机会，这些影响在最初的资金投标中没有预见到。CEFAW项目(2018-2021年)正在产生一系列新的研究材料，在教育背景下引起广泛兴趣。对长达60页的项目报告《养殖动物福利的基督教伦理：教会和基督教组织的政策框架》的回应提出了在教育背景下影响项目研究的新可能性。与支持学校RE教学和神学教育的潜在合作伙伴的磋商确认了需求。这一后续项目将通过与CEFAW的10名RE教师、8所试点学校和3名TEI工作人员合作，参与CEFAW的研究，开发和传播供学校和TEI使用的教学资源，并制定和传播学校实践变化的案例研究，从而加强CEFAW项目的影响。通过四个为期三个月的项目阶段，项目参与者将了解CEFAW的研究，考虑其与其教育实践的相关性，开发教学资源和试点学校行动计划，并与项目伙伴合作传播产生的资源。该项目的设计是在与广泛的项目合作伙伴协商后制定的，这些合作伙伴处于确保项目成功实现其对CEFAW研究在学校和TEIS中的影响的目标的理想位置。AQA是一家教育慈善机构，负责每年参加的英国GCSE和A-Level考试的一半以上。切斯特教区教育委员会促进切斯特英国国教教区的教育，特别关注教会学校，小学和中学共有100多所学校。共同奖伙伴关系与19个TEI合作，为2500名学生提供教育，培训他们在英国国教和其他教派，包括浸信会、卫理公会和联合改革宗教会。卡勒姆圣加布里埃尔信托基金是一个慈善基金会，支持体育教师和其他专业人员的专业发展。法明顿学院是一家慈善机构，旨在通过提供奖学金、发表讨论论文和安排会议来支持校长和RE教师致力于价值观和标准的工作。全国宗教教育教师协会(NATRE)是英国宗教教育专业人员的学科教师协会，通过《今日RE》杂志、NATRE网站和培训课程支持他们的专业发展。圣彼得·索特利信托基金是一家总部设在西米德兰兹郡的教育慈善机构，为宗教和神学教育领域的创造性项目提供资金和支持。索尔福德教区教育部支持教区内208所中小学的工作。这一后续影响项目是创新的，因为基督教对饲养动物福利的观点以前并不是学校或TEI教学和更广泛实践的重点。它创造性地让教师、学校领导和TEI学术人员参与CEFAW的研究成果，并使他们能够产生在其背景下工作的教学资源和方案，并可能对其他地方的同行有用。它将增加CEFAW研究在教育领域的影响，因为项目研究小组包括这两个教育领域的专门知识，并将与广泛的合作伙伴合作，这些合作伙伴处于提供咨询和协助的理想位置，以确保所产生的资源与相关课程相一致，并适合其背景。

This project extends the impact of the AHRC-funded Christian Ethics of Farmed Animal Welfare (CEFAW) research project in two new educational contexts: schools and Theological Education Institutions (TEIs). This follow-on impact project works with new partners in schools and TEIs to provide opportunities for significant additional impacts of CEFAW research that were not foreseen in the original funding bid.The CEFAW project (2018-2021) is generating a new body of research material of broad interest in educational contexts. Responses to the 60-page project report 'The Christian Ethics of Farmed Animal Welfare: A Policy Framework for Churches and Christian Organizations' suggested new possibilities for impact for project research in educational contexts. Consultation with potential partners supporting RE teaching in schools and theological education confirmed demand.This follow-on project will enhance the impact of the CEFAW project by working with a cohort of 10 RE teachers, 8 pilot schools, and 3 TEI staff to engage with CEFAW research to develop and disseminate teaching resources for use in schools and TEIs, and develop and disseminate case studies of changes in school practice. Through four three-month project phases, project participants will learn about the CEFAW research, consider its relevance for their educational practice, develop teaching resources and pilot school action plans, and work with project partners to disseminate resources produced. The design of the project has been shaped in consultation with a wide range of project partners who are ideally placed to ensure that the project is successful in its aim of realizing impact for CEFAW research in schools and TEIs. AQA is an educational charity responsible for over half of all UK GCSEs and A-levels taken each year. Chester Diocesan Board of Education promotes education in the Church of England Diocese of Chester with a particular focus on church schools, numbering more than one hundred at primary and secondary level. The Common Awards partnership works with 19 TEIs providing education for 2500 students training for ministry in the Church of England and other denominations including the Baptist, Methodist, and United Reformed churches. Culham St Gabriel's Trust is a charitable foundation supporting the professional development of RE teachers and other professionals. The Farmington Institute is a charity aiming to support head teachers in working on values and standards and RE teachers by offering scholarships, publishing discussion papers, and arranging conferences. National Association of Teachers of Religious Education (NATRE) is the subject teacher association for RE professionals in the UK and supports their professional development through the RE Today magazine, NATRE website, and training courses. Saint Peter's Saltley Trust is an educational charity based in the West Midlands, providing funding and support for creative projects in religious and theological education. Salford Diocese Department of Education supports the work of 208 primary and secondary schools in the Diocese.This follow-on impact project is innovative because a Christian perspective on farmed animal welfare has not previously been a focus in the teaching and wider practice of schools or TEIs. It is creative in engaging teachers, school leaders, and TEI academic staff with CEFAW research findings and enabling them to generate teaching resources and programmes that work in their contexts and are likely to be useful to their peers elsewhere. It will increase the impact of CEFAW research in educational contexts because the project Research Team includes expertise in both areas of education and will be working with a broad range of partners ideally placed to advise and assist in ensuring the resources produced are aligned with relevant curricula and appropriate for their contexts.
