Abstract: (429 Views) |
Pastoral care is a concept that was initially used among Christians and in their Church-dependent schools wherein the care of a group of students was given to an individual as their guardian who looked after their moral and social wellbeing. As such, three approaches to such guardianship have developed: one emphasizing discipline and control, the other focusing on eliminating personal and group abnormalities, while the third looks after the academic advancement of the pupils. Perusing through the underpinning concepts of these approaches, a fourth approach was developed and herein suggested: Humanitarian Pastoral Care. Recognizing both its advantages and threats, it is aimed at spreading of morality and benevolence, as well as a holistic look at both the student and education, individualization of teaching, and a breeze of love throughout school atmosphere. |
