Teaching Techniques (4 Units)
Teaching Techniques: Revitalizing Methodology
focuses on the philosophical basis of teaching methods with insights
from current research. Selecting appropriate teaching methods need not
be a daunting task. When the teacher understands God's perspective on
the ministry of teaching, selection then becomes a process of meeting
the lesson's objective through attention to student learning styles,
learning domains, and innovative techniques. Both teacher-centered and
student-centered methods are explored with refreshing insights. --------------- Dr. Jonathan N. Thigpen serves as president of the Evangelical Training Association (ETA) in Wheaton, Illinois. The 70-year old organization ministers internationally, promoting Christian education among evangelical institutions. Jonathan Thigpen received formal training at Free Will Baptist Bible College (B.A.), Temple Baptist Seminary (M.R.E.), and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Ph.D.). Dr. Thigpen has ministered in a variety of positions: as a pastor, youth worker, publishing executive, seminar leader, college professor, curriculum writer and editor. Jonathan has a passion for training and equipping others to effectively teach the Word of God.
Teaching Techniques was originally written by Dr. Clarence H. Benson, professor at Moody Bible Institute and founder of Evangelical Training Association. God has used this book to help in the training of thousands of teachers in hundreds of local churches around the world. |
