Contributions Of The Confessions To A Lutheran Philosophy Of Education, John Mager Jun 1960

Contributions Of The Confessions To A Lutheran Philosophy Of Education, John Mager

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Because of the central place which the Confessions give to the doctrine of justification we feel that we can do nothing less than make this doctrine the unifying principle in this thesis. We do so for this reason that the unifying principle or a Lutheran philosophy of education cannot be much diverse from the material principle of its theology. If theology is the basis or the foundation upon which the superstructure of a Lutheran philosophy of education can be built up, then the two and their unifying principles are more closely related than we might assume.

The Language Of Relationships In Christian Education, Robert E. Rediehs Jun 1959

The Language Of Relationships In Christian Education, Robert E. Rediehs

Bachelor of Divinity

Our Church has been accused of intellectualism. Our educational efforts are said to have produced a "confirmation complex,” resulting in a false understanding of the Christian faith. However, in actual practice the Church teaches both by its words and by its non-verbal setting. It is thought that it would be helpful to study this nonverbal context, especially in terms of relationships. As a suggestion for a partial remedy this thesis explores the media of personal relationships for education.

A Study To Determine Relations Between Maturity And Achievement Of Under-Age Students, Barbara C. Keisling Apr 1959

A Study To Determine Relations Between Maturity And Achievement Of Under-Age Students, Barbara C. Keisling

Student Work

Individual differences is a subject that has been greatly emphasized by those studying human development in the last seventy-five years. There has been considerable discussion and research done on individual differences in education, too; however, little has been done about it. Instead of providing for individual differences, the trend in the last twenty-five years seems to be neglecting or ignoring it.
