Creating Positive Teams Using Clifton Strengths, Ronda Christman, Gus Martin, Beth Scott, Jill Buchholz, Deanna Walker, Polina Kadatska

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

Our Creator has wired us to be in relations and nurturing teamwork and teambuilding is essential. One way to build cohesion is to have our team complete the Clifton Strengthsfinder survey to identify our top strengths. Once these strengths are identified then we can help people to work more in our strengths.

Our school of nursing and online campus have monthly meetings to make sure we are all on the same page and moving in the same direction. All of the committee members have completed the Clifton Strengthsfinder survey and have shared their top five strengths.


Does Teaching About Evolution In Adventist Schools Destroy Faith In God?, Russ Butler, Stan Dobias Mar 2022

Does Teaching About Evolution In Adventist Schools Destroy Faith In God?, Russ Butler, Stan Dobias

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

Students crave an environment where questions are welcomed and where all theories are thoroughly explored. There seems to be a hesitancy to review theories that may be opposed to one’s belief. The common approach is to focus only on what Scripture teaches and then to focus exclusively on the weaknesses of a theory like evolution. The challenge is that when students do discover arguments for evolution, they may conclude that their education was incomplete, some abandon their faith. The surprising results of a 3-year study found that a thorough study of evolution does not destroy faith in God.

P-04 Cavan Burren 2015 Project, Rhonda Root, Robin Johnson, Ariel Solis, Abelardo Rivas

Celebration of Research and Creative Scholarship

The Cavan Burren is a plantation forest within the Marble Arch Caves UNESCO Global Geopark overlay along the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland border. The exposure of Cavan Burren’s "relict landscape" resulted from a 2012 partial clear fell. Our multidisciplinary team of researchers in architecture, technology, ecology, fine arts, and archaeology investigated domestic architecture reflected in three stone configurations: circular/semicircular sites, rectangular sites, and tomb structures. We also investigated human action on pedestal boulders (PBs), which had been modified by sculpting, splitting, and cutting away. Our first goal was to show human action on structures by using three-dimensional (3D) …

Moral Implications Of Darwinian Evolution For Human Reference Based In Christian Ethics: A Critical Analysis And Response To The "Moral Individualism" Of James Rachels, Stephen Bauer Jan 2006

Moral Implications Of Darwinian Evolution For Human Reference Based In Christian Ethics: A Critical Analysis And Response To The "Moral Individualism" Of James Rachels, Stephen Bauer

Dissertations

The topic. This dissertation explores and analyzes James Rachels's efforts to prove that Darwin's theory of evolution has catastrophic implications for traditional Christian ethics.

The purpose. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore and evaluate the question of whether or not protology affects ethics. In particular, I propose to distill the implications of evolutionary views of origins for ethics, mainly in reference to the issue of human preference over nature in ethics. I propose to disclose Rachels's understanding of the implications of evolution on human preference (greater protections for human beings over non-humans) in ethics (such as biblical-Christian ethics), …
