Abstract
Although the Jesuit ideal of “magis" means in part that
a Catholic and Jesuit education should be richer and
fundamentally different than a secular education, it has
proven difficult to apply the ideals of Ignatian education
to science and mathematics courses which are content
driven. However, the educational framework of
problem/project-based learning (PBL) offers the
potential to fully realize and utilize Ignatian pedagogy in
the science classroom. This work describes the melding
and fusing of PBL and Ignatian pedagogical approaches
to truly bring the Jesuit ideal of education to physics
courses at Creighton.
