What is education?
Dr. Kingsford:
The dictionary definition is to challenge, motivate, and inspire. To educate means to help students change or learn how to do new things. This definition does not adequately define education or even answer the question (what is education). Each professor has their own definition of what education is. Education is ultimately a process with the en product being learning. One can experience education everywhere. College is just the next step to learning what education is. The experience of the school years prior to college are the foundations of education. The foundation is made of four basic principles: economic, political, intellectual, and social. Education really begins after college experience. There are two types of education. One type of education we give ourselves and the other type we receive from others.
Dr. Dunning:
-If I Had Known Then What I Know Now-
To become successfully educated one must become engaged in learning. How does one engage themselves in learning? Three ways to engage in learning are to work for the test and beyond, ask questions, and meet with your professor. Meeting with your professor will get you further help than class and it lets your professor know you are interested and care about the class.
Dr. Dunning shared with us that we will never have as much free time as we have now.
Dr. Robinson:
-Why am I here?
The purpose of a Christian University is to integrate faith with learning.
You must always remember to glorify God with all your mind.
Matthew 22: 37
He said to him, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."
