PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
The primary purpose of this Qualification is to provide MTh graduates with the necessary advanced knowledge, research skills and applied competence within a specialised discipline or field of study in theology, to do advanced independent research and to act as leaders, educators, and facilitators in their communities and in society at large.

A second purpose of the Qualification is to provide faith communities and the South African society at large with graduates who have the critical knowledge, skills and competence required to make a positive but critical contribution to theological, ethical and global-political debates; and who are able to design, write and offer courses to foster an awareness of the crucial importance of religion in contemporary society.

The purpose of this Qualification is to enable MTh graduates to undertake a major research thesis in one of two forms. Firstly, the MTh may be completed by means of a research thesis of approximately 50,000 words, demonstrating mastery of a specific field of study and an ability to do independent research. The MTh by thesis only may be particularly appropriate to students who have already completed an MDiv or MDipTh. Secondly, the MTh may be completed by means of a research thesis of at least between 25,000 and 30,000 words, and a coursework component, which may contribute no more than 50% towards the assessment of the degree. The MTh by thesis and coursework may be particularly appropriate to students who require additional components of specialisation in the particular field of theological studies in which they will complete their research thesis.

Learners who achieve this Qualification can, with an advanced level of independence, competence and self-motivation
  • Analyse and interpret primary and secondary Christian sources relevant to the field of study exegetically and theologically at an advanced level
  • Integrate, order, appropriate and communicate such sources effectively in the context of research in the relevant field
  • Analyse, understand and position oneself and one's community within the scope of the history of Christianity and of the world in a manner appropriate to a particular field of study in theology and ministry
  • Critically evaluate and apply Christian theology and ethics in a manner appropriate to a particular field of study
  • Choose and apply methodology appropriate to a particular field of research
  • Participate confidently in discussion and research into issues and problems relevant to a particular field of study and report their findings clearly in written and oral form


    Rationale:

    The MTh builds on the outcomes of the Honours BTh, and builds an advanced analytical and critical theological competency in a particular field, particularly through the development of a capacity to engage in and report on independent research. The majority of the candidates for this Qualification may be working in educational institutions, particularly universities and theological seminaries, as well as churches, other Christian ministry ventures, community organisations and society. Others may be progressing from the Honours BTh Qualification. The MTh will equip candidates with advanced exegetical, theological and/or ministerial skills and a research capacity, which will enable them, among other things, to contribute to the analysis and resolution of issues in church and society. Outstanding students may, upon completion of the MTh, proceed to further research, particularly towards the completion of a PhD in a particular field. 

  • LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    Learners who are allowed to register for this Qualification can:
  • Engage in critical and creative theological thinking, based on the ability to integrate insights from various theological disciplines;
  • Think contextually and address real life problems from a theological point of view;
  • Use theological and related sources skilfully to explore faith and life questions and to address problems encountered in church communities and the society at large
  • Use library resources (including the Internet) to do research on theological topics;
  • Write a fully-fledged research paper (with references and a bibliography) on a theological topic.


    Recognition of prior learning:

    This Qualification can be achieved in part through recognition of prior learning, only in the case of the structured MTh, in terms of the criteria laid out. Note that no recognition of prior learning can be granted in the case of the MTh by thesis alone.

    Evidence can be presented in a variety of forms, including previous local or international Qualifications, reports, testimonials mentioning functions performed, work records, portfolios, videos of practice and performance records.

    All such evidence should be judged according to the general principles of assessment described in the note to assessors.

    EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES 
    MTh students are becoming experts in a specialised field of study. While being rooted in their own culture, faith and religious community, they are encouraged to engage confidently with people who are different from themselves. In this way they are helped to assimilate the foundational, practical and reflexive competences required to meet the exit level outcomes of this Qualification and to become life-long theological learners, teachers, facilitators, pastors and good citizens.

    Specific Outcomes

    1. Engage in analytical, critical, independent and creative theological thinking and write a dissertation which reflects their ability to do research independently.
    2. Communicate effectively within a specific discipline or field of study and summarise the results of existing research.
    3. Reveal sensitivity and openness to the personal, social, cultural and religious identities of others.
    4. Design and undertake a research project to develop contextual theological responses to real life situations as appropriate to a particular field of study.
    5. Play an ethical and constructive role in a faith community and/ or in the community at large.
    6. Use theological sources and related sources from other disciplines skilfully in their research, to explore faith, spiritual and ethical questions and to address problems encountered in communities.
    7. Communicate theological insights regarding their field of specialisation effectively in a faith community and to a scholarly audience.
    8. Relate their research to developments in the worldwide Christian movement and in relation to global political, economic, religious and social forces.


    Critical Cross-field Outcomes

    The seven critical cross-field outcomes and five developmental outcomes indicated below are embedded and integrated in the specific outcomes of the Qualification as set out above. These outcomes are achieved either through course work and a dissertation of limited scope (25,000 to 30,000 words in the "structured" MTh degree) or through a dissertation only (approximately 50,000 in other MTh degrees). In any case, at least 50 % of the weighting and assessment of the degree must consist of the research thesis component.

    1. MTh graduates can identify, analyse, formulate, and solve convergent and divergent problems of living, of individual, societal and congregational kinds, creatively and innovatively.
    2. MTh graduates can work effectively with others as members of teams, organisations and communities in designing their research projects and in giving practical effect to their research findings.
    3. MTh graduates (most of whom do their research on a part-time basis) can organise and prioritise their commitments of work, home and research responsibly and effectively so as to succeed in completing the project within the prescribed number of years.
    4. MTh graduates can collect, analyse, organize and critically evaluate information.
    5. MTh graduates can communicate effectively using visual and/or language skills in the mode of oral and/or written presentation, in sustained discourse.
    6. MTh graduates can use science and technology effectively and critically, showing responsibility towards the environment and health and well-being of others, in community, national and global contexts.
    7. MTh graduates can demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognizing that problem-solving contexts do not exist in isolation, and by acknowledging their responsibilities to those in the local and broader community.
    8. MTh graduates can reflect on and explore a variety of strategies to learn more effectively.
    9. MTh graduates can participate as responsible citizens and believers in the life of local, national and global communities and religious groups.
    10. MTh graduates can be culturally and aesthetically sensitive across a range of social contexts.
    11. MTh graduates can explore education and career opportunities by drawing on the knowledge, skills and attitudes they acquired in obtaining this Qualification.
    12. MTh graduates can develop entrepreneurial opportunities by drawing on the knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired in obtaining this Qualification.

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The MTh Qualification standard is comparable to similar Qualifications from around the world with regard to outcomes and assessment criteria, the level of depth and complexity involved in the study process, and with due regard to notional learning time.

    The Qualification matrix and articulation of the BTh, Honours BTh, MDiv (parallel to MMin), MDipTh (parallel to PgDipTh) and MTh degrees is particularly close to the existing practice in universities of the highest calibre in Australia and New Zealand (e.g. Flinders University, Otago University, and Auckland University). In addition, the MTh degree is a widely recognised research Qualification. It is provided, for instance, by universities in Wales (Cardiff, Lampeter and Bangor), the University of Namibia in Africa (though difficulty in accessing the web sites of African universities has made comparability studies difficult) and, through Serampore College of Calcutta University, by a range of theological institutions in India, as well as the MTh degree offered in Central and South American theological institutions (e.g. Escola Superior de Teologia in São Leopoldo, Brazil) and the Lutheran Theological School in Hong Kong. In the United States, the MDiv degree usually articulates upwards to a further research masters degree, prior to admission to PhD studies, which is variously named, most often as a Master of Arts in Theology, which is the equivalent of the MTh in the SAQA degree framework. 

    ARTICULATION OPTIONS 
    Qualifications equivalent to Level 8 Honours BTh and/ or Level 8 MDiv or MDipTh could articulate upwards to the MTh.

    The MTh gives access to the PhD (NQF Level 8). 

    MODERATION OPTIONS 
  • Providers offering learning towards achievement of any of the outcomes that make up this Qualification must be accredited through the relevant ETQA by SAQA.
  • Internal moderation of assessment must take place at the point of assessment with external moderation provided by the relevant ETQA according to the moderation guidelines and the agreed ETQA procedures.
  • External examination of the components for this degree, particularly the thesis component, must include moderation by recognized experts in the specific field of study associated with internationally recognized tertiary institutions.
  • Assessors registered with the relevant ETQA must carry out the assessment of candidates for any of the outcomes that make up this Qualification.

    NOTES 
    Notes for assessors:

    Assessors should note that assessment for the MTh should be:
  • Formative: Learning and assessment are integrated. Formative assessment is an ongoing personal process of interaction between the lecturer/supervisor and the student when the means of assessment is a dissertation only. For a "structured" MTh programme, which includes 50% of course work, the formative assessment includes written and/or practical assignments based on the learning material, on which students are given feedback. The process is ongoing and focuses on smaller sections of the work and a limited number of outcomes.
  • Summative: For the course work part of a "structured" MTh, students are assessed by means of either written examinations, oral examinations, or a series of articles. A dissertation (full-length or of limited scope) is assessed by an examination panel (containing at least one external examiner) at the end of the process.
  • Integrated: All assessment will integrate knowledge, skills and attitudes and applied competence.


    Assessors should keep the following general principles in mind when designing and conducting assessments:
  • Focus the initial assessment activities on gathering evidence in terms of the main outcomes to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. The aim is to declare the person competent in terms of the Qualification purpose. Take special note of the need for integrated assessment.
  • Make sure evidence is gathered across the entire range, wherever it applies. Assessment activities should be as close to the real performance as possible, and where simulations or role-plays are used, there should be supporting evidence to show the candidate is able to perform in the real situation.
  • All assessments should be conducted in line with the following well documented principles of assessment as defined below:


    Principles of assessment:
  • Appropriate: The method of assessment is suited to the performance being assessed.
  • Fair: The method of assessment does not present any barriers to achievements, which are not related to the evidence.
  • Manageable: The methods used make for easily arranged, cost-effective assessments that do not unduly interfere with learning.
  • Integrated into work or learning: Evidence collection is integrated into the work or learning process where this is appropriate and feasible.
  • Valid: The assessment focuses on the requirements laid down in the Standard; i.e. the assessment is fit for purpose.
  • Direct: The activities in the assessment mirror the conditions of actual performance as closely as possible
  • Authentic: The assessor is satisfied that the work being assessed is attributable to the person being assessed.
  • Sufficient: The evidence collected establishes that all criteria have been met and that performance to the required Standard can be repeated consistently.
  • Systematic: Planning and recording is sufficiently rigorous to ensure that assessment is fair.
  • Open: Learners can contribute to the planning and accumulation of evidence. Assessment candidates understand the assessment process and the criteria that apply.
  • Consistent: The same assessor would make the same judgement again in similar circumstances. The judgement made is similar to the judgement that would be made by other assessors.

Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
