ACTEA eNews #20 -- June 2004

The mission of ACTEA is to promote quality evangelical theological education in Africa by providing supporting services, facilitating academic recognition, and fostering continental and inter-continental cooperation.

In this edition of ACTEA eNews, we bring to your attention one item, which came to our attention too late to include in our last issue, but because of time considerations, we felt it best not to wait until the next planned full edition.

Announcing a course on "Helping Learners to Think"

The Christian Ministries and Training Programme of Daystar University (Nairobi, Kenya) is offering the following two-week workshop for Christian post-secondary lecturers in Africa.

Do you long for new models of teaching and learning that promote thinking, rather than just memorization? Want to learn to teach in such a way that your students begin to reflect on their own lives and ministries? Tired of classes where your students only want to know what will be on the exam? If so, then this is the course for you!

This course can change your teaching ministry! You learn how to teach for critical reflective thought. You will also experience it first hand.

Who should participate?

Christian lecturers, teachers, and facilitators in the education of church leaders. Christian university lecturers, Bible college tutors, seminary lecturers, TEE facilitators, and other Christian teachers and trainers will benefit from this workshop.

Workshop objectives:

Participants in this workshop will learn to... 

•  teach in ways which help transform students' lives.
•  promote an environment conducive to adult learning.
