Educational
Methodology
Our Online Programs employ a thoughtful and comprehensive instructional methodology, creating an engaging virtual learning experience. Our methods focus on fostering critical thinking, theological exploration, and the development of practical ministry skills. Key instructional approaches include pre-recorded lectures for flexible learning on the Learning Management System, discussion forums for asynchronous dialogue, live virtual sessions in the evenings for real-time interaction, and collaborative assignments to encourage peer learning. Case studies and practical application exercises challenge students to apply theological concepts to real-world scenarios, enhancing critical thinking skills.
Students will engage with diverse materials, including theological texts, academic articles, and relevant readings, forming a crucial aspect of our curriculum. Written assignments, such as essays and research papers, allow students to explore topics in depth and articulate their thoughts effectively. Weekly and monthly assessments and quizzes test understanding, while virtual office hours offer one-on-one discussions for clarification or guidance.
We provide access to virtual learning resources, online libraries, and academic databases to facilitate research and exploration. Our holistic formation approach includes spiritual mentorship, monthly chapels, ministry internships, campus visits, and various virtual learning resources, ensuring a well-rounded education that equips students for effective ministry.
At SIBBC&S, our educational process transcends traditional boundaries, offering a dynamic and interactive platform where theological education seamlessly integrates with real-world application.
