Abstract
BRITO RODRIGUEZ, Sonia; BASUALTO PORRA, Lorena; MUNOZ VALLEJOS, Doris and REYES OCHOA, Luis. University Transversal Theology: Education Skills for Youth in Higher Education. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2020, vol.47, n.107, pp.22-42. Epub Apr 05, 2021. ISSN 0120-131X. https://doi.org/10.18566/cueteo.v47n107.a02.
The Synod on Youth has highlighted the necessity to consider the realities of youth and to propose new formational and evangelization languages. The purpose of the article is to characterize a specific kind of education that is provided by catholic universities to their students in the area of theology. Bearing this in mind, it considers the ideas of the young regarding their beliefs and experiences within this educational sphere. The text is conceptually based on the magisterial triduum that came out of the Synod on Young People: Instrumentum Laboris, Final Document and Christus Vivit, in addition to considering the voices of the youth with respect to their beliefs and experiences in this formative field, through two instances, namely, an on-line questionnaire from the Secretariat of the Synod, answered by the students of the Universidad Católica Silva Henríquez, Chile (UCSH), and a study carried out at the UCSH on theological subjects. A methodology will be developed for the analysis of data and information for both instruments, that is, for both the quantitative survey and the qualitative oriented study. The text is arranged in three sections, the first referring to the on line survey, the second to the study of the theological subjects and, in the third, it concludes by proposing a University Transversal Theology that should rest on the anthropological dimension of searching, interreligious dialogue, antropodiversity, interdisciplinarity, and ethics.
