Education Philosophy of The Malaysian Indigenous CPE
1. Adult Learning
Teaching and learning is student-centred and individualized. Students assume responsibility for their learning.
2. Clinical Learning
Learning arising out of the actual practice of ministry.
3. Small group learning
Not more than 10 people in a group.
4. Supervised Learning
The learning is focused, purposeful and coordinated by a professionally qualified CPE Supervisor who maintains frequent contact with the student to enable optimum use of the curriculum elements to achieve the students learning needs and goals.
5. Theological Learning
"Theology on wheels" learning whereby theology is correlated with human experience and the "real world" (the guts of life and the human condition), enabling students to bring congruency between their "espoused theology" and their "operational theology" (their creed and their deed). It is "theology in the flesh", it is theology that speaks to the soul - the core of one's being - of both the caregiver and care receiver.
6. Methodology of Learning
The teaching and learning principle derived from the EHS CPE Program but contextualized to reflect Malaysian culture and context, making it relevant to the local educational need.
CPE Competency Areas
1. Self Awareness
Students will become aware of self as minister; including attitudes, values, assumptions, strengths and weaknesses and the ways that ministry affects persons.
2. Interpersonal Awareness
Students learn to accept and utilize the support of the peer group and practise communication skills required for confrontation and clarification for the integration of personal attributes and pastoral functioning.
3. Conceptual Ability
Students learn how persons, social conditions, systems and structures affect the lives of self and others and how to address effectively these issues in ministry.
4. Pastoral Functioning
Students learn about basic skills for pastoral care to persons in crisis and situations; to make effective use of one's religious/spiritual heritage, theological understanding and knowledge of behavioural sciences in pastoral ministry to persons and groups; to function effectively as a pastoral member of an interdisciplinary team and to utilize pastoral and prophetic perspectives in a variety of functions.
5. Ministry Development and Management
Students learn about the clinical method of learning and use peer group and supervision to develop the capacity for evaluating one's ministry.
