1. NOTEWORTHY FEATURES OF THE IGNATIAN PEDAGOGICAL PARADIGM (IPP)

 

3.           
The
Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm promises to help teachers be better teachers. It enables
teachers to enrich the content and structure of what they are teaching. It
gives teachers additional means of encouraging student initiative. It allows
teachers to expect more of students, to call upon them to take greater
responsibility for and be more active in their own learning. It helps teachers
to motivate students by providing the occasion and rationale for inviting
students to relate what is being studied to their own world experiences. 

4.           
The
Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm personalizes learning. It asks
students to reflect upon the meaning and significance of what they are
studying. It attempts to motivate students by involving them as critical active
participants in the teaching-learning process. It aims for more personal
learning by bringing student and teacher experiences closer together. It
invites integration of learning experiences in the classroom with those of hoe,
work, and peer culture.

4. Points to Ponder

The
story is told of a foreman who went to check on the labor of several workers at
a building site in medieval France. He approached the first workers and asked,
“What are you doing?”

The
man snapped back, „Are you blind? I‟m cutting these impossible boulders with
primitive tools and putting them together the way I‟ve been told. I‟m sweating
under this blazing sun doing this back-breaking work and it‟s boring me to
death.‟

The
foreman quickly backed off and retreated to a second worker, asking the same
question, „What are you doing?‟ This worker replied matter-of-factly, I‟m
shaping these boulders into usable forms, which are then assembled according to
the architect‟s plans. It‟s hard work and sometimes it gets repetitive, but I
earn five francs a week and that supports my wife and children. It‟s a job.
Could be worse, could be better…‟

Feeling
somewhat encouraged, the foreman went on to a third worker, asking, „What are
you doing?‟ The worker lifted his eye to the sky and said, „Why, can‟t you see?
I‟m building a cathedral for God!‟ 

The
meaning you give to your work or study today will directly impact the
satisfaction you feel at the day‟s end.
