Understanding Enduring Ideas in Education: A Response to Those Who 'Just Want to Be a Teacher'
Author: Carol MutchPublisher: Nzcer Press
ISBN: 9781988542089
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
The journey towards becoming a teacher involves engaging with a range of theoretical and pedagogical knowledge, and fieldwork experiences. This edited collection is a response to recurring student feedback about the struggle to grasp the philosophical and political aspects of teaching and learning. For some, encountering broad open-ended questions about the nature and purpose of education is confronting. The chapters have been organised around three philosophical 'traditions'--progressive, liberal, and socially critical perspectives. The exploration of each philosophical tradition is complemented by personal reflections of academics for whom a particular philsophical view has influenced their development as scholars, researchers, and educators. This book is essential reading for teachers, educators, parents, and community members interested in understanding how enduring philosphical ideas can help us make sense of contemporary educational issues. The book raises questions key questions about the purpose of education, the nature of knowledge, and beliefs and values about teaching and learning. The authors present education as a site of competing and often conflicting ideas to which there may be no firm answers to these questions. In this regard, the book presents philosophical thinking as a deep, on-going exploration of the relationship between education and society. By providing further questions for discussion, the authors seek to promote further reflection and thinking about education and its role in society. The book will therefore also be of interest to policy makers, government officials and teacher educators.

Book Description
Have you ever suffered and struggled to understand why God would allow it? Have you ever seriously considered leaving the church because of your lack of answers? How have you suffered? Fill in the blank, what is it for you? In this book Adam shares about his journey with mental illness and how he has learned to endure. This book’s purpose is to encourage and help others endure through hard, challenging, and difficult life circumstances. This Bible-based book is not just a set of benign principles but eighteen points that can considerably change things in life for the better. It does not guarantee a cure from any or every affliction, but can help a person find peace, hope, and ultimately a trust in God despite circumstances. These things learned do not only apply to people with mental illness but to people with any and every form of suffering and pain regardless the issue. Part 1 speaks of how we can live life to the fullest through Christ and that there is no pointless season of suffering for the Christian as all things work together for our ultimate good. It will always be by far worth it in the end for the Christian who endures. If we overcome, we shall inherit all things and receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. When a person suffers it is often a person’s understanding and perception of who God is and his character that is challenged. Therefore suffering can help us understand the character of God and who he is, perhaps this is one reason why God allows it. This is why part of this book focuses on six aspects of God’s character to clarify part of who he is. It is logical and is easier to trust God when we understand more of who he is although it is still a step of faith. God has given us many invaluable gifts such as being a new creation if in Christ. This helps us to understand our fundamental value and helps us to prevail for all time. 2

Book Description
Today I will do the following: Go forth—I am a disciple. Be useful—I am a servant. Live with purpose—I am a warrior. Discover new lands—I am an explorer. Create joyfully—I am a craftsman. Challenge intentionally—I am a scholar. Be an inspiration—I am a leader. Man was created on purpose and for a purpose. Therefore, all men are at some level searching for purpose and meaning, and yet so many are struggling to find them. If we look deep in our hearts, we all hunger for growth and mastery of ourselves, our strength, and our skill. Unfortunately, many times, our searching leads us to popular movies, media, and society as reliable sources for why and how we should live as men. Could it be that many of the models we look to are creating simple, selfish, empty, small men who don’t really know who they are and are at a terrible risk of missing the robustness of life? The truth is we cannot know who we are until we understand whose we are. We cannot understand our purpose unless we understand our Creator’s purpose. We cannot understand true authentic manhood unless we understand that we carry the image of the only truly authentic man to ever live, Jesus Christ. Man is a special creation that has been blessed with an amazing ability to grow and adapt. Seek. Adapt. Endure. will inspire men to get out of their comfort zones and challenge themselves spiritually, mentally, and physically. The seven archetypes discussed in these pages will help men discover themselves at a deeper level in Jesus, find fulfillment in life, realize their full potential, and discover ways to go forth into the world in order to pay that forward to their families, communities, and workplaces. 2

They Who Endure to the End

Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Is it possible for a true believer in Christ to apostatize? If so, how? Also, how can professing believers know if they are truly born again? What assurance can they have that they will never renounce their faith? These questions have been asked for centuries as Christians have wrestled with what Scripture says about these matters. The search for answers has instilled strong disagreements among Christian traditions. In this book, we navigate the terrain of this debate by examining the pertinent biblical data, surveying the history of major views that have been advocated by various denominations, and offering a synthesis of all this material in the hopes that readers can see how Scripture assures believers of their security in Christ.
