Abstract
ZAPATA MURIEL, Fernando Antonio; CALERO CAMPO, Juan Camilo and TRUJILLO ACEVEDO, Juan Camilo. Characterization of the spirituality of students at the Lasallian University Corporation in 2017-2018. Rev. Lasallista Investig. [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.2, pp.77-89. ISSN 1794-4449. https://doi.org/10.22507/rli.v16n2a19.
Introduction:
This article is the result of a research project based on the description of the characteristics of the spirituality of young people of the Lasallian University Corporation.
Objective:
Interpret the characteristics that form the spirituality of young people in the Lasallian University Corporation.
Materials and methods:
The work was carried out based on a qualitative approach. The main method applied was hermeneutics and data collection techniques such as the survey were applied to 346 young people of the Lasallian University Corporation, through a mail questionnaire made up of open-ended questions where participants described their spirituality. In addition, there were five focus groups with a group of students and teachers. The triangulation technique was used to analyze the data.
Results:
Among the most relevant results of the study, it is concluded that young people relate spirituality to beliefs in a divine force to which the majority grant a transcendent meaning that gives meaning to their existence. As for the way young people express and live spirituality, it is found that it revolves around plural bets.
Conclusions:
It is evident that there is no presence of a type of spirituality, but that each young person has a different way of confirming their search for the sacred in life and feeds it from beliefs and similarity to the meaning of life.
