influential puritan intellects of the seventeenth century, all of them adept at refined theological reflection and yet all of them pastors who ministered to congregations which were not composed of men and women of the same the-ological acumen as themselves. In the works of all these writers it is possible to trace the impact – sometimes profound – of the scholastic method and the medieval and Renaissance metaphysics of the university culture of their day. Yet they exhibit the same concern for conversion, faith, assurance, day-to-day piety and Christian experience which first marked the reforming work of Luther, Calvin and their colleagues a century earlier.

La existencia de la motivación en los deportes ha generado la creación de diferentes instrumentos de medición para ver el impacto que ésta tiene en la práctica de diversos deportes. En este estudio se utilizó la versión chilena de la Escala de Motivación Deportiva (EMD-2ch), en participantes de cinco selecciones femeninas y masculinas de fútbol universitario de la región de Valparaíso (n=171) con el objetivo de analizar la percepción de los deportistas sobre la motivación deportiva según el sexo. Los participantes fueron seleccionados por muestreo no probabilístico e intencionado, entre deportistas universitarios pertenecientes a las selecciones de fútbol de hombres y mujeres que participan en el Campeonato de la Federación Nacional Universitarias de Deportes Zona Costa. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que hay diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre hombres y mujeres en dos de las seis dimensiones que integran la escala, observándose que las mujeres presentan una tendencia a sentirse mejor consigo mismas cuando realizan su deporte al comparar las puntuaciones con sus pares masculinos. La importancia de este estudio se concentra en la aplicación exitosa del instrumento y futuros trabajos a nivel psicológico en las selecciones deportivas universitarias chilenas, donde la motivación sea un elemento central, presente en la práctica de su deporte. Abstract. The existence of motivation in sports has generated the creation of different measurement instruments to see the impact it has on the practice of various sports. In this study, the Chilean version of the Sports Motivation Scale (SMS-2ch) was used in participants of five female and male university soccer teams in the region of Valparaiso (n=171) with the objective of analyzing the perception of athletes on sports motivation according to gender. The participants were selected by non-probabilistic and intentional sampling, among the university athletes belonging to the men's and women's soccer teams that participate in the National University Sports Federation Coastal Zone Championship. The results obtained show that there are statistically significant differences between men and women in two of the six dimensions that make up the scale, with women showing a tendency to feel better about themselves when they play their sport by comparing scores with their male peers. The importance of this study focuses on the successful application of the instrument and future work at the psychological level in Chilean university sports teams, where motivation is a central element, present in the practice of their sport.

distinctive character of eighteenth-century evangelicalism, the focus has to be upon the ways in which these four elements were changed, modified or dif-ferently understood, or how they were given an altered significance during this period. Here, the seventeenth-century historian moves beyond his strict sphere of competence and into the realm of speculation. However, it would seem that one key discontinuity between the puritan theology of the seventeenth cen-tury and much of the evangelicalism of the eighteenth is that of the university context. Certainly in the form of English and Dutch puritanism, seventeenth-century Protestantism represented a successful marriage between academic theology and pastoral concern, whereby supremely accomplished learning connected with the life of the everyday believer through the media of ser-mons, catechisms and the pastorates of men who were well versed in scholastic theology. As such, it held two apparently incompatible strands of Protestant thought and life together: the need for a responsible, learned and theological approach to the biblical text and the belief that every individual, from the greatest to the least, had the responsibility to believe in God for their own salvation. Events in the latter part of the seventeenth century, however, served to rupture this relationship. In England the Restoration of 1660 and the subsequent imposition of the Clarendon Code effectively terminated puritanism as a movement and excluded not only serving puritan ministers but also subsequent generations of Nonconformists from both the Anglican ministry and, more importantly, from the universities. When nearly 2,000 puritan ministers left the established church in 1662, they took their theological tradition away from its academic roots in a university culture which stemmed from the Middle Ages and had been modified by the Renaissance. Their heirs in English Nonconformity were often men of formidable intellect – the names of Isaac Watts and Philip Doddridge spring immediately to mind – but they were not university men. They were not schooled in the language and thought forms of their puritan forebears and the theology they expounded did not coincide with that of their heritage in some of its most important aspects.

The Revolution

I'd like to begin with an anecdote. when i was an undergraduate at the University of California, Santa Cruz, a leader from an African country came to speak on the impact of a recent revolution in his homeland. The speech was inspired and exciting and provoked many questions. It being Santa Cruz in the late 1970s, a woman stood up in the back of the room and asked, “After the revolution, what will your country do to help our lesbian sisters?” The speaker looked perplexed and turned to a translator, who explained that lesbians were women who made love to one another like men and women did. The speaker expressed shock until a flash of recognition came over him as he explained, “Well, we will cure that with medicine!”

Second Chance

This paper describes a curriculum that gives men and women from predominantly black working class communities a second chance to acquire a formal qualification at a higher education institution in South Africa. The curriculum provides the space for adult students to think critically about themselves and their practice and to develop a confident voice to express themselves. Through this process they develop both learner and educator identities and begin to see how the two intersect. The paper gives some of the historical background of the course, and shows how lecturers who have taught on the programme at different times have helped shape the curriculum. It goes on to discuss the changing nature of the student intake, the curriculum content and structure and ends with a discussion of the impact of the course, on students, staff and on the university as a whole. One very visible impact of the diploma is to be seen in the students who have gone on to acquire other postgraduate qualifications in adult education studies. On a university-wide level, through the involvement of adult education lecturers in other programmes and curricula, knowledge of and interest in adult learning is shared and encouraged.

Marital Behavior

The impact of the Thirty Years' War on the population of Bohemia has been overestimated, because research on a variety of sources for the period around the year 1651 suggests not only that there were long-term continuities in marital behavior (such as high proportions married) but also that some of the consequences attributed directly to warfare might well be explained by reference to inaccuracies of the source or to such population dynamics as emigration. A joint research project involving the University of Vienna, Charles University in Prague, and the State Central Archives in Prague is exploring socioeconomic dimensions of population change in mid-seventeenth-century Bohemia in order to test older assumptions and to develop new insights.
