Rationale
This is a study and research about the very concept of Religious Education policies and
implications of the University of San Jose – Recoletos. This study is aims to assess the
personal daily lives and Josenian student life. This study is conducted in consideration
for students enrolled in the said university, admitted to the institution. This research
study contains graphs and figures of the enrolled; passed and failed students of the
Religious Education courses known as ReEd 1, ReEd 2, ReEd 3, and ReEd 4. Along
with their specific interpretations of the said information about the actual data gathered.
Using these data the researchers shall be illustrating and clarifying the strong points of
the Religious Education course and its necessity or just mere requirement for
graduation. Moreover, the study shall be a successful tool in providing other academic
religious administration of the student’s paradigm in its pursuit of spiritual morality and
educators, conservative religious parents, lay and religious community leaders and
because of the historical and catechistic success of the catholic missions done by
sacraments, holistic purity, and spiritual morality; all pertaining to the Divine. But
“Caritas et Scientia", is by itself not enough. The very basic problem is how to keep
such lessons of Religious Education such as spiritual morality from being obsolete and
downgraded to just a graduation requirement ; it must be etched inside the very hearts
and minds of the students once they graduate from the University of San Jose –
Recoletos. The university must move in a direction that will spiritually benefit the
students and the community in a very most holistic sense. Improvement for religious
education has in need for various elements but sum up to two: the choice of needed
vision and mission (direction and aims), tactics and strategies for achieving them. The
attitudes and spiritual Christian morality, exploring the millennial community and social
media society in pursuit of religious educational spiritual goals and Gospel- oriented
objectives. The course of action finally chosen will very much depend on its spiritual
examination of variables and student welfare with analysis of the various strategies and
tactics used. Nowadays, religious educators find themselves in a trap between the
lecture of religious education (Christian morality) and actual application of the course
outline (a graduated Josenian); cross a rapidly shifting society of with unstable morals.
These educators are increasingly needed, in some areas of our society within a certain
extent, and challenged with the decreasing morality and the declining number of the
faithful of the old tradition which unfortunately are the youth of today also known as
“millennial”. With these unlimited problems, intermingle with theoretical and moral
issues consequences are yet to be unraveled. In addition, religious educators must help
students, especially the Josenians( students of University of San Jose – Recoletos) and
communities( the Josenian community both Carbon and Basak campuses) achieve the
most sincere form of morality and decency within the hearts and minds of Josenians
which are troubled in times of fragmented , changing, and social pretentious of techno
savvy social media era. In the dawn of the liberal era of the youth, religious education
majoring in morality specified in Christian morality can no longer cope up with the norms
of the youth but are then merely treated as a subject that is a prerequisite for
graduation; regardless of honors. This is exactly the doctrinal problem that religious
education unknowingly faces. No longer will traditional virtues are placed within the
altar of knowledge by students, but corrupt perceptions of decency and morality are
celebrated by the young. This study enforces the notion of values and virtues that it be
influence; thus becoming the very heart and soul of the students. This can be possible
personal and case to case examination wherein knowledge attained by lecture are
practically applied, these will enable the religious academe a more progressive
environment and a long lasting lesson impact on the students of the University of San
Christian ethics. This research furthers the concepts of religion, morality, teachers
becoming doers, spirituality, Christian leadership, Christian spiritual attitudes, and most
of all the maintenance of the purity of the heart and soul of both student and graduate of
University of San Jose – Recoletos amidst the very Evil that it seeks to extinguish; the
Evil of immorality. This research examines the cultural impact it has on the crusade of
each religious education educator and their hopes of such Christ-like fruition manifested
in both the students and graduates of University of San Jose – Recoletos. Hence, this
