I have been involved in mentoring high school students for about a year. More I learn about the differences between "didactic" vs "authentic" pedagogy more I realize usefulness of "authentic" methods in teaching ethical or religious values.

For example: "Architectonic" dimension of authentic pedagogy. Traditionally people go to a church/mosque/synagogue and enter these large spaces and sit in rows listening to a sermon. I am not proposing replacing sermons with group discussions but especially for the young members of the group a more intimate space where they can share their deepest feelings while not being overwhelmed by the space may be more helpful.

I can see how other dimensions of authentic pedagogy can be applied for better results here.
