Biblical Worldview Paper Assignment InstructionsOverview
\u00a0
The\u00a0Biblical Worldview Paper Assignment\u00a0is course-embedded into every degree program in Liberty University\u2019s School of Education (SOE).\u00a0\u00a0Its purpose is to carry out LU\u2019s mission to provide an education with a solid Christian foundation and to ensure that every SOE program completer understands the implications of a biblical worldview for the field of education.\u00a0\u00a0While there are other assignments that require candidates to write a personal philosophy of education, that is not necessarily the intent of this particular assignment.\u00a0\u00a0The goal of this activity is for candidates to accomplish the following:\u00a0
\u00a0
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Convey an understanding of what is meant by a biblical worldview.
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Support and illustrate this understanding by citing the Bible and other literature on the topic of biblical worldview.
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Apply principles of a biblical worldview to educational practice.
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Articulate key components of a Christian philosophy of education, citing from the Bible and other literature on the topic of Christian philosophy of education.\u00a0
\u00a0
Because the SOE embeds this assignment into every degree program\u2014i.e., bachelor, master, education specialist (Ed.S.), and doctorate (Ed.D)\u2014it is likely that candidates who earn multiple degrees from LU\u2019s SOE will be required to complete the assignment multiple times.\u00a0\u00a0Especially in the Ed.S. and Ed.D. degrees, the Biblical Worldview Assignment may be required for more than one course.\u00a0\u00a0Candidates who are required to complete the assignment more than once may resubmit the initial assignment but are encouraged to revise as needed.\u00a0\u00a0For example, expectations for undergraduate and graduate writing levels are different; therefore, the composition of the paper may need to be strengthened with the repeated submission.\u00a0\u00a0Also, check the assignment directions and rubric to ensure that you are meeting the present course\u2019s specific requirements.
Mission of Liberty University:\u00a0This assignment advances LU\u2019s mission by promoting \u201cthe synthesis of academic knowledge and Christian worldview in order that there might be a maturing of spiritual, intellectual, social and physical value-driven behavior\u201d and by encouraging \u201ca commitment to the Christian life, one of personal integrity, sensitivity to the needs of others, social responsibility and active communication of the Christian faith, and, as it is lived out, a life that leads people to Jesus Christ as the Lord of the universe and their own personal Savior.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0
