| Summary: | This article is about the learning and reflections of six professors who gathered together as a community of scholars to discuss ways of enriching the learning experiences of our students by attempting to build community in the classroom. The first part of the article defines the essence of pedagogical community. The article suggests that pedagogical community is important in the classroom because it contributes to learning and to students’ formation as future leaders of church communities. The second part examines the barriers to pedagogical community, namely, diversity and lack of commitment to community. The final part presents the implications of our findings for pedagogical community and sets forth best practices for the classroom by considering the attitude of the professor, the role of students, and the classroom environment. |
