LD220 Principles of Teaching:
Principles of Teaching is designed to equip students for effective teaching. Although many teachers in the church and in institutions of theological education are experts in the content to be taught, relatively few are trained to teach. This course equips prospective teachers for effective teaching. Three major purposes of the course are to help teachers do the following: (1) understand the concept of teaching for transformation, (2) recognize that learning is not automatic, and (3) apply the concept of teaching for transformation by providing practical examples to use in the classroom so that the lesson will be transferred to life. This course will also help teachers be more intentional in the classroom.
EDU320 Human Development and Learning Theories:
This course presents an introductory overview of major development and learning theories that have influenced education through the years. The number of such theories is far more than is possible to cover in a course of this nature. Therefore, the course will cover examples of each area of theory to give you an adequate overview of the whole. The goal of this course is to help you not only understand the content of the theories but to also examine how they came into existence and how they influence education. A major question to be addressed in the course is: how should educators deal with these theories? How should the theories affect classrooms today? It is believed that the more educators understand the learning process and human development, the more effective they will be able to teach. The course will look at theories from a wholistic biblical point of view.
