Why is it important for the Christian educator to know his/her answers to the questions asked by metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology?
-
It is important because this allows us to be rooted in our understanding of what it means to be a Christian Educator.
-
It is important for the Christian educator to know their answers to the questions of metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology because these foundational concepts shape their teaching philosophy, influence how they engage with students, and guide their approach to integrating faith with learning.
-
This is very important because the students will have these questions and we need to be able to help them.
-
These are the foundations of the belief system we hold true to ourselves, and are trying to instill in our students.

There is an expression among young people today that states, “he/she is keeping it real.” (Not always the case) but I thought of that with regard to the question for this unit. If I can’t convey to them what is real, what is truth, then I have failed them as an educator. I let them know that any serious student of Scripture will have questions. But don’t let them questions cloud your judgement regarding what reality is and who God is.
