A study of the effects of training and reflective journaling on creating child advocates among evangelical churches
by Walker, Larry A., Ph.D., CAPELLA UNIVERSITY, 2011, 122 pages; 3466429

Abstract:

There is a connection between beliefs and the actions related to those beliefs. However, there is often a disconnect between what actions actually occur in individuals who have strong beliefs. The purpose of this study was to explore and understand through an action research study the impact of training and nontraining intervention of reflective journaling on participants as it relates to children and the poor. A literature review of transformational learning and understanding of human performance improvement within the evangelical church looked at how this applied to children and the poor. The results of this study indicated that training and reflective journaling had an impact on a local church, both individually and organizationally, in moving individuals along the advocacy continuum from a position of apathy to advocacy.
