In this subject students will undertake studies to deepen their understanding of issues that underpin the role of spirituality and values in living and particularly in teaching. They will examine various models of understanding the human person and explore the function of virtues/values in the development and experience of the person in communal contexts. Students will critically analyse theories of moral development, review and evaluate literature and recent thinking on the role of spiritual dimension of personal meaning-making.
