Medicus: Método educativo para el discipulado integral y crecimiento universal en cristo

Abstract

This research project aims to design and implement the pedagogical model MEDICUS (Educational Method for Integral Discipleship and Universal Growth in Christ), intended to transform biblical teaching within the International Charismatic Foursquare Church in Villavicencio. The main problem lies in the persistence of traditional teaching practices based on unidirectional knowledge transmission, which limits deep, critical, and contextual understanding of the Scriptures, particularly among younger generations. In response, the study proposes a model that integrates constructivism, contemporary biblical hermeneutics, and the principles of the Educational Model of the Universidad del Meta (MEUM), in order to promote meaningful, participatory, and holistic learning. Methodologically, the research follows an applied approach, structured in phases of diagnosis, design, implementation, and evaluation, using techniques such as participant observation, document analysis, and pedagogical intervention. The expected results include improvements in participants’ engagement, biblical comprehension and interpretation, as well as their ability to apply teachings to everyday life. Additionally, the MEDICUS model is expected to contribute to pedagogical innovation in Christian education, positioning itself as a replicable proposal for other faith-based communities.
