Many Christian colleges promote worldview formation as part of their purpose and learning objectives. An institution teaches a worldview with intentionality, enculturates it through community life, reinforces it through human interaction, and passes it on through symbols and stories. Accreditation standards often require colleges to demonstrate how their programs support the development of a biblical worldview. This requirement necessitates a search for teaching and assessment approaches that can best serve this essential goal. In this book, the author reports on qualitative research with Bible colleges and offers a pedagogical theory for supporting students' lifelong development of worldview. This theory shows how college teachers can clarify their goals, set relevant objectives, employ effective teaching strategies, and design helpful assessment methods. ""Prior to encountering Rob Lindemann's research, I freely admit that my thinking and faculty development activities relative to Christian worldview formation have focused almost exclusively on conceptual frameworks. Rob has performed a great service in helping me and others who are passionately committed to Christian worldview formation to realize that worldview is formed not merely by the shaping of more biblical and critical thinking but also by the employment of thoughtfully crafted pedagogical strategies for forging of social and emotional intelligence. His theoretically grounded pedagogical framework allows me to move past helping faculty and students embrace better ideas to the more complete work of helping them to form transformational habits of life and mind."" --Ralph E. Enlow, Jr., President, Association for Biblical Higher Education Rob Lindemann is the Vice President of Academics at Horizon College and Seminary in Saskatoon, Canada.
