students‟ competence. Evaluating competence is easier than evaluating conscience or compassion since the product
of competence is observable. However, the Ignatian Pedagogy also deals with how the students can
cooperate or have good interaction with others. Conscience and compassion will help the students understand the importance of a good interaction. In 2006,
Suseno as cited in ICAJE, 1993 said that conscience is people‟s awareness of
moral aspects in the real situation. They will know the good things and bad things. From having the conscience, the students are expected to do good actions.
In fact, the conscience comes in line with the compassion. The compassion becomes the special aspect which becomes the identity of Ignatian Pedagogy.
Scroope and Jones 2004 state that compassion is needed to build students‟
thought and act which refers to Christ‟s life especially in dealing with the poor.
The good interaction between the students and the lecturers also helps the students

growth of these aspects, the lecturers can see that from the group discussion or the intensity of the students to be active in the class. Portfolios, journals and peer
assessment become some ways to measure stud ents‟ conscience and compassion
LPM-P3MP, 2012,p. 42. To make the lecturers easier to observe these aspects, there are some general values of conscience and compassion to help.
