Discussion Questions
-
The lecturer states she “would contend that only a believer is able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain.
-
God created love. God is love. Without God, we cannot truly understand love.
-
Yes. I believe that as believers when we grow in Christ, we long for more of Him and his knowledge of His word.
-
I agree. To truly love wisdom as God created us to love would only be capable by the Holy Spirit.
-
Yes, I agree because you can only love God if you believe in him.
-
I would agree because God is love and by His Spirit we come to love knowledge.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course? In what specific areas do you hope to grow as a Christian educator?
-
I hope I learn how to emphasize the importance of a Christian worldview to my students. I want to learn the best ways to help them grow in their love for Christ. I want my students to understand that learning and gaining knowledge is a gift from God as well as part of his ultimate eternal plan. I want to help shape my students into disciples, which will then go out and do the same in their lives.
-
I hope to learn how to implement Christian Philosophy is the daily routines of my classroom.
-
I am looking for any specific purpose or focus that Christian education may have that is more detailed or directed than the Christian life purpose and focus.
-
How to raise up Christian Leaders to change the world.
-
I would like to become more confident in knowing how to apply a Christian philosophy within the classroom.
-
Why is it imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education?
-
It is imperative for Christian educators to have a Christian philosophy of education so that they can teach the importance of a Christian worldview. As Christian educators, we have the responsibility of teaching our students what comes from the world and what comes from Christ. As students learn and grow, they will come into contact with ideas that do not correspond to a Christian worldview, and they must be able to use their own discernment in decision making. If students have a strong Christian foundation, they will be able to handle future problems and conflicts with a Christian perspective.
-
It is very easy to just focus on the day to day lessons, but if we want to show we are different than we need to be sure to make it a priority. We need to develop and grow in our philosophy of Christian education so that we can bring that into our classrooms.
-
Instructors in Christian schools should all have an understanding of the purpose of this particular learning environment, an agreement with its goals and objectives, to be able to translate that clearly.
-
In order for our students to truly understand the benefits of being a Christian Leader the education must believe with all his/her heart, soul, and mind in our Father in heaven – God
-
As a teacher it is not only my job to teach my subject matter, but to teach according to our school’s overall teaching philosophy of fostering relationships and seeing every moment as an opportunity to preach God to my students. My faith and my teaching should align.
