If scripture is authoritative, why do we allow questions?
What is "radical constructivism" and how does it define the way that some people approach the task of Christian education?
What is a different way of looking at this? What is "critical realism"?
How does your view of how the Bible operates and the way it is interpreted affect the way you teach it?
How does hermeneutics affect learning?
How does the discussion on hermeneutics and learning fit in with the discussion on learning communities discussed by Parker Palmer?
What do the phrases "biblical authority" and "pedagogical priority" mean? (Note the seven implications in the lecture.)
Keep these stretching questions in mind as you watch and listen to this lecture by Dr Trevor Cooling (a leader in the "What If" approach to learning that has been pioneered in the UK.). Make sure you catch the questions and answers that follow the lecture.
Many of these concepts are difficult and some of the vocabulary is new. In preparation for our discussion, send me an email describing all the new terms and ideas. You don't have to become an expert on these things right now. But we need to start somewhere.
