Through further consideration of data emanating from the author’s original research into ways in which children are predisposed to learn in approaches to religious education influenced by Jerome Berryman’s Godly Play method, a new disposition has been identified, connecting to life. It comprises three elements—(1) making connections between stories and lived experiences, (2) placing one’s self in the shoes of the Other, and (3) considering one’s own story within a Universal Story. This paper presents excerpts from the original interviews of the research participants that indicate the presence of this disposition among their students. Each of the three elements of connecting to life is also reflected upon through reference to Berryman’s writing, as well as to some pertinent phenomenological literature.

连接生活：Godly Play教育框架内新出现的学习倾向

通过进一步考虑来自作者最初研究的数据，这些数据研究了受杰罗姆·贝里曼（Jerome Berryman）的Godly Play方法影响的儿童倾向于在宗教教育中学习的方式，从而确定了一种与生活联系在一起的新倾向。它包括三个要素：（1）在故事和生活经历之间建立​​联系；（2）将自己的自我置于他人的鞋子中；（3）在“通用故事”中考虑自己的故事。本文提供了对研究参与者的原始访谈的摘录，这些摘录表明了这种倾向在他们的学生中的存在。通过引用贝里曼（Berryman）的著作以及一些相关的现象学文献，也可以反映出与生活相连的三个要素中的每一个要素。
