Introduction
• Ignatian Pedagogy was published in 1993
• The foundational document The Characteristics of Jesuit
Education (1986)
• Ignatian Pedagogy aims to do the same for the classroom teacher
in a Jesuit school.

10.
A Jesuit Method of Teaching
• Ignatian pedagogy is inspired by faith.
• Attention to care for the individual student (known by the Jesuit
term cura personalis)

11.
A Jesuit Method of Teaching Cont..
• As St. Paul reminds us, “the body is one and has many members,
and all the members of the body, though many, are one body…”•
(1 Corinthians 12:12)
• St. Ignatius once wrote a letter to a Jesuit ordering him to take
better care of his health after learning that he was not eating
properly; Ignatius wrote, “For the next three months, from now
until September, you are to do no preaching, but are to look after
your health.”•Ignatius implored him to follow doctor’s advice
under the vow of obedience.

12.
What is a Teacher?
Rev. Jacques Marquette, S.J.
“Elicits from students the deep desires that God had
planted in them”

13.
The Goal of Jesuit Education
• The ultimate aim of Jesuit education is that full growth of the
person which leads to action.

14.
The Role of the Teacher
Teachers are more than academic guides, they are involve in the
lives of the students, taking a personal interest in the intellectual,
affective, moral and spiritual development of every student,
helping each one to develop a sense of worth and to become a
responsible individual within the community.

15.
The Role of the Teacher cont..
• In a Jesuit school, the chief responsibility for moral as
well as for intellectual formation rests finally not upon
any procedure or curricular or extra-curricular activity,
but upon the teacher, under God

16.
The Role of the Teacher cont..
• St Ignatius places the teacher’s personal example ahead
of learning as a means to help students grow in values.

17.
The Role of the Teacher cont..
• The teacher creates the conditions, lays the foundations and
provides the opportunities for the continual interplay of the
student's experience, reflection and action to occur.

18.
The Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm
ACTIONREFLECTION
EXPERIENCE

19.
Experience
• St Ignatius urges that the whole person (mind, heart and will)
should enter the learning experience

20.
Help each student to become an independent learner, to
assume responsibility for his or her own education

21.
Teacher is at the service of the students, alert to detect special
gifts or special difficulties, personally concerned, and assisting in
the development of the inner potential of each individual student.

22.
Reflection
• A major challenge to a teacher at this stage of the learning
paradigm is to formulate questions that will broaden students'
awareness and impel them to consider the viewpoints of others,
especially of the poor.

23.
Help students to reflect on personal experiences so that
they can understand their own experience of God.

24.
Action
• For St Ignatius, the acid test of love is what one does, not what
one says: "Love is shown in deeds, not words.”
• The Jesuits were most concerned with the formation of students'
attitudes, values, ideals according to which they would make
decisions about what was to be done.
