Ignatian Pedagogy

J., this book traces the development of Jesuit education that spans primary, secondary, and higher education, in addition to an array of Jesuit related educational environments, from the mid-sixteenth century to present times.Divided into five sections and arranged in chronological order, the text is a collection of primary sources and foundational writings from the Jesuit order, including contributions from Jesuits that describe how and why they entered into the enterprise of education.It also illustrates the particular spiritual charism, vision, pedagogical method, desired outcomes, and challenges that have faced this educational journey.Part i provides a description of the Jesuits' early movements into education as one of their ministries.It also offers, among other interesting aspects, one of the earliest articulations, written by Juan Alfonso de Polanco, of the benefits this ministry would provide Jesuits, its students, and the local area.Part ii centers on the Ratio studiorum (or Plan of studies), the official educational document generated by the Society of Jesus.The first official version, published in 1599 was the source where, "everything related to educational life is regulated to the smallest detail: the governance of schools, the selection of the professors, the admission of students, the program of studies, the authors and texts, the methodology..." (116).Another source suggests that the Ratio is "essentially a compilation of best practices in school administration and, especially, in pedagogy as developed by Jesuit institutions in previous decades" (128).Serving as the official plan of studies for Jesuit education from 1599 until the Society's suppression in 1773, Gabriel Codina and John W. O'Malley's contributions provide a description of the style of education that the Jesuits had chosen, how it was influenced by their own education at the University of Paris (modus Parisiensis), the humanist movement, and the influence of the Jesuit spiritual charism.Part iii describes the nearly forty-year suppression (1773-1814) of the Jesuit order and its restoration.A fascinating part of the Jesuits' history in itself, this period essentially rendered the previous universally accepted Ratio impossible due to the many changes the world had experienced during this time.Part iii describes how the Jesuits began to rebuild their religious order and educational institutions after the order was restored.Part iv, Early Contemporary Texts , reflects a renewed focus on the goals, vision, and method of Jesuit education in light of current realities
