Conseptional Spirituality of Religious Education Students

Summary/Abstract: This article presents scientific research results related conceptual spirituality of those who are studying religious education. According to the theoretical and empirical research there are few indicators of conception-related spirituality such as: the attitude to the values, the meanings and the image of a spiritual person. The data reveals that the students choose the terminal values (final purposes) as the most important such as mature love, holiness, inner harmony and wisdom, but at the same time there is lack of attention to beauty, creativity and national security. The instrumental values (helping to reach the final goals) are dominating ones. They are as follows: honour, compassion, sensibility, responsibility and forgiveness, but the students do not see important values such as obedience, broad attitudes, humour, courage, imagination, ability and human dignity. The results show that the students understand better the meaning of terminal values rather than instrumental ones. The students do not know enough the meanings of the values that are not important for them. While describing a spiritual person, most of" the students named moral, religious and transcendental nature, and only a few of them named it to be pragmatic and neutral to spirituality values.
