Discussion Questions
-
Explain, in your own words, Dr. Black’s visual of a book in the middle of two Bibles. What is she illustrating with this visual?
-
In my opinion, the word of God should be at the beginning and at the end of our teaching/learning at all times.
-
It is an object lesson, a visual of how the Bible must inform and influence everything we do. The setting is in education, but we know we could put any objects between the Bibles to symbolize that everything we do in life must be formed by Scripture in order to be biblical. Even in teaching subjects like math we must have a Christian worldview to see God originated order and numbers for us to discover the world around us.
-
In my opinion, she was showing that the Bible envelopes the worldly things that we are teaching and learning. Everything starts with the Bible and the text is just in the midddle.
-
We are all Bible teachers…that teach English or science or….
-
Biblical truth should be weaved into our lessons, from start to finish.
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
Throughout the year I always make sure my attitude stays in a place where I can learn from others and experiences. You never get to a place where you know everything. I look for new strategies, read, take notes in church, and remember why I teach.
-
One of the best ways to encourage our students to be life-long learners is to make sure that we are also always willing to learn and grow. One of the ways I keep a mindset of growth is reading current articles and books about different types of topics, whether they are for spiritual growth, educational practices, or issues that we are currently dealing with in culture.
-
Research. I think that one of the best ways to keep growing is to keep learning, and doing research is a very important part of that. But i believe that the best research we can do is in God’s Word and to learn what his purpose for our lives is. And it’s a purpose that keeps changing as we walk though life. But even if it changes, the ultimate goal is to grow in His likeness to be a testimony for others
-
One technique I use to encourage a growth mindset in myself is taking notes as needed. Another technique or method is by reading books and subscribing to periodicals that focus on the various areas of education.
-
I am always trying to grow spiritually because I want to know God better. I know that if I grow spiritually in Christ I will be ultimately more effective in everything I do and that includes teaching in the classroom. I have never felt satisfied where I’m at I always want to grow. I spend time daily in the Scripture and listen to podcasts and audio books on the way to work that deal with many of the Biblical topics that we discuss in course. I keep up with the current news and trends withing Christianity as well as the secular world so I can be knowledgeable about what is going on and be able to address these things with my students.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course?
-
I hope to attain a more intentional, consistent, and organized approach to biblical integration.
-
How to integrate biblical teaching more thoroughly throughout my teaching.
-
I would like to take the previous metaphor from theory to reality in my courses.
-
A more thorough understanding of how to consistently and effectively teach all topics from a biblical worldview.
-
Learning how to be able to integrate Biblical principals into my teachings.
