Introduction to Christian Education, with Dr. Michael Campos, explores key concepts that undergird the work of learning and teaching: CURRICULUM, KERYGMA, and CATECHESIS. We will study how Christian education interacts with culture, drawing from our personal stories as the starting point of collective meaning-making. The following essential questions will guide our conversations:
- What is pedagogy, broadly defined?
- What are prevailing cultural assumptions around “good teaching/learning”?
- How do we negotiate the tension between teaching for content and teaching as process?
- What is the role of “our story”—social biography—in Christian education?
- How can we re-imagine approaches to Christian education that makes sense to our communities
