Research Reveals Impact of Adventist Education
Andrews in the News

In Adventist education, the work done in the classroom, administrative sectors and support areas can go beyond the fulfillment of a professional function. When educators and other employees recognize that their activities contribute to the education of students, the well-being of families and service to the community, the work is perceived as part of a mission.
This was the main reflection of a research study presented on July 21 during the 42nd Standing Conference on Organizational Symbolism (SCOS 2026), held in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The event brought together researchers from more than 15 countries to discuss how sacred, spiritual values and symbolic practices participate in the life of organizations.
The study of 338 professionals was developed by Danilo Carvalho dos Santos, Eduardo Lopes dos Santos and Fábio Vinícius de Macedo Bergamo, and asked participants to rate the extent to which they believed their daily tasks improved the lives of others. The study then examined how this perception related to their professional experience.
The research originated from D. Santos' master's thesis, developed in the master's degree in leadership at Andrews University, in the United States.
