This module incorporates several inter-related learning strategies. The interactive learning groups will provide lectures and seminars involving a combination of group activities, student led work, simulations, skills practice, discussion etc. The independent study provides opportunity for reading, library based and online research. The remote learning in the professional practice work place will help develop professional skills.

This module will enable the student to examine and critique approaches to pastoral care, within the context of spiritual development. It will seek to develop an understanding of the role of pastoral care within professional practice and consider the application of different approaches in work with children, young people and families in secular, church and educational contexts. It will provide an introduction to pastoral theology and the study of spirituality.
