EDUE-546 Christian Philosophy of Education

Christian Philosophy of Education provides an introduction to a biblical worldview and a Christian philosophy of education. It requires students to examine the presuppositions upon which they base their personal and professional actions and behaviors, and has them develop a coherent worldview by reflecting on and answering the metaphysical, epistemological, and axiological questions. Additionally, the course leads students to develop a philosophy of education based on their worldview, and uses that philosophy to address issues relative to teaching, including the nature and potential of the student, the role of the teacher, the content of the curriculum, teaching methodology, and the social function of the school. This course is open only to those seeking ACSI or other Christian School certification.
