The Effect of Theology Faculty Education on Students’ Religiosity

Abstract

In this mixed-method study, an answer to the question ‘What are the opinions of the students about the effect of the education they receive in the faculties of theology on their religiosity?’ was sought. Questionnaire and focus group interview were used as data collection techniques. The research was structured according to the exploratory sequential design and in this direction, firstly a questionnaire was applied and then a focus group interview was conducted to reveal the reasons for the questionnaire data. As a result of the research, it was determined that the students have quite different opinions about the existence of an educational environment that supports their religiosity in the faculties of theology, but they agree to a great extent that the education they receive in these faculties is not of a quality that will cause them to cool down from religion. It was observed that the rate of students who stated that the education they received at the faculty in question contributed to making their behaviour more compatible with religion exceeded 60%.
