His field of study in his Master’s degree was in Practical Theology (<em>Die rol van die vaderfiguur in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks. ‘n Prakties-Teologiese studie</em>), which is basically about the important role of the father figure and the dilemma of absence in the South African context. His first PhD is in Teaching and Training (A character-building programme for Further Education and Training colleges), which is basically about values, character and ethically moral behaviour among students at FET colleges (Further Education and Training).</p> <p> </p> <p>His second PhD is in Pastoral Studies (The role of the father as mentor in the transmission of values, a Pastoral-Theological study), which is basically about fathering with the importance of the father’s role, mentorship and values. He also compiled a training manual and workbook to train father figures, and even non-fathers, to exercise their role, function and responsibility within the family as well as in the community, the church and even in the workplace. This programme is added as part of the LIFEPLAN® programme, which is known as LIFEPLAN® 4 – Fathering and the necessity of values.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-other-experts-in field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Other experts in</div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1659" hreflang="en">Theology</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-url-google-scholar field--type-link field--label-hidden field--item"><a href="https://scholar.google.co.za/citations?user=W7OXExoAAAAJ&amp;hl=en">Google Scholar</a></div> <div class="field field--name-field-visit field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Visit</div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1389" hreflang="en">Unit for Reformed Theology and the Development of the South African Society</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-media field--type-text-long field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Media</div> <div class="field--item"><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AMYIs4I14k">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AMYIs4I14k</a> Faculty of Health Science</p> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-visit-fsd field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Visit</div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1441" hreflang="en">Faculty of Theology</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-visit-f field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Visit</div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/2003" hreflang="en">Theology</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-other-twitter field--type-link field--label-hidden field--item"><a href="https://twitter.com/NWUPUK">Twitter</a></div> <div class="field field--name-field-physical-address field--type-text-long field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Physical Address</div> <div class="field--item"><p>Faculty of Health Sciences</p> <p>Subject Specialist: Africa Unit for Transdisciplinary Health Research (AUTHeR)</p> <p>Potchefstroom Campus</p> <p>North-West University</p> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-other-linkedin field--type-link field--label-hidden field--item"><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=168175041&amp;authType=NAME_SEARCH&amp;authToken=Vbtn&amp;locale=en_US&amp;srchid=2566428461374655008271&amp;srchindex=1&amp;srchtotal=1&amp;trk=vsrp_people_res_name&amp;trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A2566428461374655008271%2CVSRPtargetId%3A168175041%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary">Linkedin</a></div> <div class="field field--name-field-telephone-number field--type-string field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Telephone Number</div> <div class="field--item">(018) 299 2090</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-fax field--type-string field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Fax</div> <div class="field--item">(018) 299 2088</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-e-mail-main field--type-email field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">E-mail</div> <div class="field--item">fazel.freeks@nwu.ac.za</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <img src="/sites/news.nwu.ac.za/files/files/experts/Fazel.jpg" width="555" height="768" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-photo-caption field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item">Dr Fazel Freeks</div> Tue, 12 Aug 2014 10:27:32 +0000 PERTUNIA THULO 19947 at https://news.nwu.ac.za
