Hermeneutical Communicative Dialogue Model

What is Faith/Life Inquiry – (very very quick snapshot)

Recontextualisation = What is this?

Recontextualisation is a regular thing and happens for us all the time, for example, the renovating of a lounge room…

In a Catholic PS this means…• Inquiring into old and new stories•Engaging in a collaborative and pluralistic society•Deep encounter with Catholic Tradition and contemporary life• Inquiring into text and its context

In pictures this means…

Our Goal @ Good Sam (down the track)

Ultimately our goal for Faith/ Life Inquiry is to connect the two ideas (faith/life) so that they become so fused that it is impossible to comprehend one aspect without the other.

Research says that as a result of this Hermeneutical Communicative Dialogue Model learners become more actively informed Christian citizens and ultimately ‘stronger’ in their faith.

However, at the moment…A couple of things to note:

In the below the line planning we insert both the RE and Inquiry and label appropriately, you might even have to mark them both RE/Inquiry because its hard to nominate which one specifically.

As a result it is imperative that you have your Learning Intention planned prior to the learning activity.

Below the LineA few more things to consider before we have some planning time:

Catholic TraditionLentEaster Sacraments - ReconciliationJesus life before death etc

These are not negotiable and must be a focus

We are still using the RE Framework – we are just being smarter about how we use it

Thinking Processes

AusVELS –

How are we engaging our students in real life complex problems that promote thinking skills?
