Abstract
Faith formation is a topic of considerable interest
for those involved in Christian education. In
this quantitative investigation, 580 students
from Years Four, Six, Eight and Ten from eleven
Adventist schools in Australian were surveyed
to determine their perspectives of their own
faith formation in four areas of their lives: Vision,
Gospel, Lordship and Presence. Additional items
measured student satisfaction with their Biblical
Studies classes. The results indicated that
students, on the whole, were positive about their
faith formation. Trends revealed that younger
students overall were more positive towards
their faith and Biblical Studies classes than high
school students with a gradual decline in levels
of agreement with survey items as the Year levels
increased.
