Practical Recommendations

To help you in the planning and delivery

General educational principles rooted in a Catholic educational & anthropological framework


General Considerations

The person is central to our endeavour. As collaborators in the Christian formation of adults you are requested to:

Be sensitive to the needs and requirements of participants

Value and promote the holistic developments of participants

Lecture with a catholic worldview in mind


Value learning as a communitarian endeavour

Value and give importance to participant’s personal disciple journey

General Considerations



Course co-ordinators & lecturers should:

Meet students at the beginning of the course & at least once every three weeks

Foster & nurture a sense of community among participants, make good use of break time

Encourage students to participate in the educational, spiritual and cultural activities organized by the PFI.

Planning

Identify the objectives of each session.

Your learning outcomes should be focused and measurable.

We suggest you use the verbs identified by Bloom and his colleagues.


Inform your participants of the learning outcomes, each session during the introduction.

Research suggests that this helps participants to have a better structure, be more organized and learn new knowledge.


Take into consideration that students are adult learners.

• Hence they have different learning needs;• lecturing methods are not always the best

method to facilitate learning.

Adults appreciate participatory methods as well as being allowed enough time to process the information understudy.


In practical terms when planning sessions you need to:

1) Divide the time in sectors of approximately 10 minutes each

2) Provide some time for peer/group/class discussion

3) Use different strategies, provide guiding questions for peer and group discussions and be strict in time management

4) Value adult participants’ own experiences

5) Connect the content with their personal needs. Adult participants must be able to see the personal benefit of what they are learning.


We believe that education should be a holistic endeavour.

Consequently it is very important that knowledge is not limited to an accumulation and

understanding of facts.


Conative

CognitiveAffective

Hence you are urged

1) to engage student through higher order thinking skills;

2) to encourage participants to apply and evaluate the information in their own personal and community contexts & be creative in ways of connecting knowledge, faith and context;

3) to be aware of emotional issues that may arise from certain topics;

4) to give due importance to the development of attitudes;


5) to keep in mind that the universe of Catholic faith is vast and connects with various dimensions of life, including the social, the political, the aesthetic;

6) to be creative and demonstrate how Catholicism through its rich and diverse traditions has constructed western society and contributed to global development;

7) to expose participants to diversity of traditions primarily within Catholic worldviews, but also among other Christian denominations.


We want to promote the formation of rich & mature disciples who are able to connect with their past in order to have a strong catholic identity and contribute to a better future.
