| Abstract | The Bethel Theological Seminary (St. Paul, Minnesota) sought to analyze the viability of the curriculum for ministers and persons in related occupations, and to consider an outcomes-based approach to curriculum restructuring. A model was developed to assess the effectiveness of seminary curricula in light of the realities of ministry among practicing clergy. Development of the model involved a survey to identify the tasks and time utilization of practicing clergy. Steps in the model included: develop cross-discipline agreement on outcomes to be sought; seek feedback from alumni, pastors, and denominational leaders; meet with pastors for integration focus group interaction; revise outcomes statements and develop a recommendation for faculty review; develop objectives, instructional strategies, and testing procedures to support the achievement of outcomes; implement the revised curriculum, test its effectiveness, and use evaluation data to refine the effectiveness of the core curriculum. The survey of 807 pastors, with 86% responding, gathered data on attitudes toward ministry and the functions of ministry. Factor analysis was used to determine the relative importance of categories of ministerial effectiveness, such as personal spiritual faith and integrity, outreach, counseling, and Christian compassion. Ministers also rated their level of involvement in counseling, preaching, evangelism, worship, education, administration, information, and personal development activities. (JDD) |
