Spiritual Development of Adolescents in Adventure-Based Programs in Hong Kong
Cheung, Ackie C. K.
Journal of Experiential Education, v33 n4 p411-415 Spr 2011
Experiential programs have become a core part of extra-/co-curricular activities in secondary schools in Hong Kong. Programs usually aim at enhancing youngsters' personal development, which incorporates self-understanding, self-other relationship, and self-social involvement (cf. Hahn, 1908-1913). Students are expected to acquire a stronger belief in self and to reflect upon their self-belief, including along the spiritual dimension. This paper discusses the development of students' spiritual views in particular. (Contains 1 table.)
