THREE MOVEMENTS IN AUGUSTINIAN PEDAGOGY

Joseph T. Kelley
Abstract

Augustinian pedagogy emerges from Saint Augustine's evolving thoughts about the nature of teaching and learning. Various texts written over almost 40 years: The Teacher (389 AD), Instructing Beginners in Faith (400 AD), Letter #118 (410 AD), and Teaching Christianity (Books 1 – 3 in 396-397 AD and Book 4 in 426-427 AD) suggest three movements in his thought that have relevance for contemporary educational theory and practice.
