Good education needs to recognise the fast pace of change in the world and adapt accordingly. Today it is not enough to repeat the best practices of the past. We must keep our eyes open to what is happening in the world, to what moves our students, to what concerns the families, societies and world we serve.
The Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP) is a way of learning and a method of teaching taken from the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. It is based on five key elements: context, experience, reflection, action, and evaluation.
JECSE Ignatian Pedagogical Formation Programme is designed to help educators from our network strengthen their understanding and application of IPP in their classrooms.
For many years, JECSE has been supporting staff in our schools to reflect on how we can apply the principles of the IPP to everyday educational practice. Each year we have organised formators’ meetings on various topics related to the IPP and our Ignatian mission. To continue these efforts, we are currently trying to build an IPP learning community so that IPP practitioners and formators can share their experiences, exchange good practices and reflect together on the Ignatian approach to the teaching-learning process in the 21st century.
Good education requires acknowledging the fast-changing pace of the world and to adjust accordingly.
It is not enough to repeat the good practices of the past. We need to keep open our eyes to what happens in the world, what moves our students, what concerns the families, societies, and world that we serve
