Knowledge cannot be passed
like a material substance from
    one mind to another; for
thoughts are not objects which
   maybe held and handled...
   Ideas must be rethought,
    experience must be re-
         experienced

Romans 8:
And we know that in all things God works for
the good of those who love him, who have been
called according to his purpose. 29For those
God foreknew he also predestined to be
conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he
might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30And those he predestined, he also called;
those he called, he also justified; those he
justified, he also glorified.
 How much change should we

If teaching were telling my
children would be brilliant!
The problem is the teaching-
learning process is far more!
Just because students are busy it
does not mean they are learning
anything.
Imagine:
You are required to teach a class about
the Holy Land.
You have all the resources that Richard
would usually use in his class - and any
other things that would be available to
you.
How would you do it?

and they enjoy learning more than
those who aren’t involved

How would you do it?
Hendricks suggest three options...

I do - and I Change

Ancient Chinese proverb
  I hear, and I forget.
I see, and I remember.
I do, and I understand.
I do - and I Change
Ancient Chinese proverb
     Hendricks adds;
When you do , the result is
   I hear, and I forget.
more than understanding;
 I see, and I remember.
     You also change
 I do, and I understand.
Psychologists say we
potentially remember
10% of what we hear.
(If you do this you are
in the genius category)

   Problem: Most of
 Christian Education
is hearing orientated
 - hence it is often so
      inefficient
If we add seeing to hearing our
potential to remember goes up to
50%
So, visual aids become important

What type of visual aids could
you use in teaching? (only ones
that would be available to you)
Most kids plug into the world of television
long before they enter school. According
to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF):
•66% of infants and toddlers watch a
screen an average of 2 hours a day
•kids under 6 watch an average of about
2 hours of screen media a day
•8 to 18 year olds spend nearly 4 hours a
day in front of a TV screen and almost 2
additional hours on the computer

•8 to 18 year olds spend nearly 4 hours a

As kids get older, too much screen time
can interfere with activities such as being
physically active, reading, doing
homework, playing with friends, and
spending time with family.
Children who consistently spend more
than 4 hours per day watching TV are
more likely to be overweight.
Kids who view violent acts are more
likely to show aggressive behavior but
also fear that the world is scary and that
something bad will happen to them.
TV characters often depict risky
behaviors, such as smoking and drinking,
and also reinforce gender-role and racial
stereotypes.
Doing, seeing and hearing -
memory potential goes up to 90%

5 Examples of
Meaningful Activity
5 Examples of
Meaningful Activity
 Maximum learning is always
   the result of maximum
involvement - if the activity is
         meaningful
1. Activity that provides
 direction without dictatorship

In giving
assignments
there should be a
sphere of freedom
- a structure to
help the student
learn which is not
a straightjacket.
Most students act
as if the aim is to
find out what the
teacher wants.
Good teachers
enable a student
to work for
themselves not
for the teacher

Most students act

teacher wants.
Good teachers
enable a student
to work for
themselves not
for the teacher
In education you are meant to draw
out - not pour in
[In fact the root of the word education
is “to draw out”]
This means you also have to let the
students learn from their own
mistakes (the lack of applying what
you have taught them)
2. Activity that stresses function
          and application

This is activity that immediately lets
the learner put to use everything that
has been taught.
This suggests that at one time you need
to only teach what can be taken in.
Teachers treat the students like
storage tanks that need to be filled up.
Jesus didn’t do it this way! In fact
he warned his disciples that he had
much more to teach them, but he
had to leave it to the Spirit of Truth
to do that.
3. Activity with a planned
              purpose

What do you aim for in teaching?
Your objective determines your
outcome.
What am I aiming for in wanting a
student to read that book or paper?
Why do I want that paper written?
Do you do it simply because it is the
way it has always been done?
A twin of making students busy is
entertaining them.
How much of a challenge is offered in
your teaching or church - is Sunday
merely a part of the programme?
Is anything ‘demanded’ of the students?

As long as the activity

  always     learner
maximum involvement
engaged is meaningful
4. Activity that is concerned with
the process as well as the product
Students should not only know what
they believe, but why.
You can limit a student by only
teaching them what you know - the
product.
Give the student the process and
you launch them on a path with no
limitations.
Your students can,
in fact, exceed you
 and become more
effective than you!
Your students can,
    Do you want
in fact, exceed you
   students to do
 and become more
 better than you?
effective than you!
Research has shown there are
surprising similarities between
Christian and no-Christian children
in terms of morals, values and
behaviour.
The only major difference is a verbal
one - the Christians answer no when
asked if they would lie, cheat or go
to bed with someone. The non-
Christians say, “Of course, if it is to
my advantage”.
The actual behaviour of both
    groups is the same.

Do we settle for the wrong things
Do we accept words without looking
for the process to be right?
5. Realistic activity that includes
   problem-solving situations
A student is not looking to answer
your questions about things but their
own.
You need to bring situations into the
classroom which are real in the life of
the students.
Ask: Where are the students ‘at’?
What are they struggling with?
What temptations are they facing?
There are many moral issues facing
the church today - are you
[prepared to be] talking about it,
and teaching about it?
Do you deal with Biblical figures as if
they are unreal - or as real with the
same problems or temptations we
face?
Activities need to be lifelike - and
realistic for the student to benefit.
Sin can appear fun to people - it has great
appeal to our heart;


“Do you want the will of God for
your life with peace, satisfaction
and success, or do you want your
own will with poverty, emptiness
and misery?”
         Is this a good question?
Going On...

Learning is a
process - so don’t
just give a
student one
experience and
think they have
learned it and
experienced it.
Hendricks tells the story of Peter
walking on the water.
He then asks the, excellent,
question, “How do you think Peter
got back into the boat?”
Didi Jesus carry him, did the
disciples dive in and rescue him, or,
did he walk back on the water
(watching Jesus all the time)?
“Studying the life of the Saviour, the
greatest Teacher, makes it clear
that he didn’t cram a lot of heads
full of a collection of theological
facts. No, he involved his disciples in
the process so that later the pagan
world was compelled to testify,
“These are they who have turned
the world upside down.”
                      Hendricks (p. 67)

  • 74. 5 Examples of Meaningful Activity Maximum learning is always the result of maximum involvement - if the activity is meaningful
  • 75. 1. Activity that provides direction without dictatorship In giving assignments there should be a sphere of freedom - a structure to help the student learn which is not a straightjacket.
  • 76. Most students act as if the aim is to find out what the teacher wants. Good teachers enable a student to work for themselves not for the teacher
  • 77. Most students act as if the aim is to find out what the teacher wants. Good teachers enable a student to work for themselves not for the teacher
  • 78. Most students act as if the aim is to find out what the teacher wants. Good teachers enable a student to work for themselves not for the teacher
  • 79. In education you are meant to draw out - not pour in [In fact the root of the word education is “to draw out”] This means you also have to let the students learn from their own mistakes (the lack of applying what you have taught them)
  • 80. 2. Activity that stresses function and application This is activity that immediately lets the learner put to use everything that has been taught. This suggests that at one time you need to only teach what can be taken in. Teachers treat the students like storage tanks that need to be filled up.
  • 81. Jesus didn’t do it this way! In fact he warned his disciples that he had much more to teach them, but he had to leave it to the Spirit of Truth to do that.
  • 82. 3. Activity with a planned purpose What do you aim for in teaching? Your objective determines your outcome. What am I aiming for in wanting a student to read that book or paper? Why do I want that paper written? Do you do it simply because it is the way it has always been done?
  • 83. A twin of making students busy is entertaining them. How much of a challenge is offered in your teaching or church - is Sunday merely a part of the programme? Is anything ‘demanded’ of the students?
  • 84. Law 3 The Law of Activity
  • 85. Law 3 The Law of Activity Maximum learning is always the result of maximum involvement
  • 86. Law 3 The Law of Activity As long as the activity Maximum learning is in which the result ofis always learner maximum involvement engaged is meaningful
  • 87. 4. Activity that is concerned with the process as well as the product
  • 88. Students should not only know what they believe, but why. You can limit a student by only teaching them what you know - the product. Give the student the process and you launch them on a path with no limitations.
  • 89.
  • 90. Your students can, in fact, exceed you and become more effective than you!
  • 91. Your students can, Do you want in fact, exceed you students to do and become more better than you? effective than you!
  • 92. Research has shown there are surprising similarities between Christian and no-Christian children in terms of morals, values and behaviour. The only major difference is a verbal one - the Christians answer no when asked if they would lie, cheat or go to bed with someone. The non- Christians say, “Of course, if it is to my advantage”.
  • 93. The actual behaviour of both groups is the same. Do we settle for the wrong things Do we accept words without looking for the process to be right?
  • 94. 5. Realistic activity that includes problem-solving situations
  • 95. A student is not looking to answer your questions about things but their own. You need to bring situations into the classroom which are real in the life of the students. Ask: Where are the students ‘at’? What are they struggling with? What temptations are they facing?
  • 96. There are many moral issues facing the church today - are you [prepared to be] talking about it, and teaching about it? Do you deal with Biblical figures as if they are unreal - or as real with the same problems or temptations we face? Activities need to be lifelike - and realistic for the student to benefit.
  • 97. Sin can appear fun to people - it has great appeal to our heart; “Do you want the will of God for your life with peace, satisfaction and success, or do you want your own will with poverty, emptiness and misery?” Is this a good question?
  • 98. Going On... Learning is a process - so don’t just give a student one experience and think they have learned it and experienced it.
  • 99. Hendricks tells the story of Peter walking on the water. He then asks the, excellent, question, “How do you think Peter got back into the boat?” Didi Jesus carry him, did the disciples dive in and rescue him, or, did he walk back on the water (watching Jesus all the time)?
  • 100. “Studying the life of the Saviour, the greatest Teacher, makes it clear that he didn’t cram a lot of heads full of a collection of theological facts. No, he involved his disciples in the process so that later the pagan world was compelled to testify, “These are they who have turned the world upside down.” Hendricks (p. 67)

  • 103. Law 3 The Law of Activity As long as the activity Maximum learning is in which the result ofis always learner maximum involvement engaged is meaningful
