Share one or two things you learned in this course that will change your approach in the classroom.
-
Although worldview and epistemology are already ideas that I address in my classroom, the emphasis on metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology as foundations for a Christian worldview helped me to think about these ideas in a more organized manner. I’d like to be more systematic in thinking through these areas in planning instruction.
-
Clearly understanding how the philosophical underpinnings of my faith are reflected in my teaching makes it more imperative that I get my Biblical integration right. I can also share that philosophy with my older students to open the discussion and encourage them to explore basic philosophy and worldviews with them. Honesty and integrity in my faith is the most important tool I have and I must keep it sharp. I also have a clearer understanding as to the role I play as a prayer warrior, mentor, and teacher in their critical thinking and their understanding.
-
Without a Biblical Worldview, I cannot impact my students for Christ.
-
It is crucial that even though I have a Biblical-World View Curriculum for some courses, that I am really intentional about making sure that this world view is evident in every lesson and activity that we do in courses, whether the curriculum itself is Biblical World View or not.
-
I appreciate the reminder that, though I teach in a Christian school with a curriculum that has a biblical worldview, it is imperative that I am intentional about infusing my instruction with God’s word and character. Additionally, I appreciate the encouragement toward discipleship of my students.
