ACCS has invited Mr. Arthur Goh, Associate Director with the Singapore Pastoral Institute to conduct a series of formation sessions on the Principles of Religious Education in November 2008.
Course Description: Principles of Religious Education explores issues foundational to religious education in the school. The course situates religious education in a historical, social and cultural context. It describes the nature and purpose of religious education and engages the educator in a process of analyzing philosophical, theological and educational assumptions that lead to distinct perspectives.
Participants will explore conceptual frameworks for religious education within which foundational questions are asked. They will be engaged in conversation about the nature, purpose, process, and consequence of educating religiously.
The course provides an opportunity for religious educators to reflect on their role as formators in a diverse community, and acquire deeper appreciation of the importance of religious education in the total formation of every person.
This course is offered to:
- DipRE 2006/07 Graduates
- Teachers teaching the RE/CMECS Programme in Catholic Secondary Schools

Details of the course:
