| 영문 초록 | This thesis is built upon the perspective now well accepted in educational philosophy, that scholarship is not and cannot be, philosophically neutral (Bartholomew, 1997; Bratt, 1998; Clouser, 2005; Dooyeweerd, 1966; Edlin, 1999; Geisler, 1999). Scholarly investigations, and their classroom out workings, always reflect the presuppositions of those involved in the development and delivery process. As Bartholomew (2000, p. 12) contends, “To claim to be free of philosophical presuppositions is simply to be unaware of them.” Some educators in the secular community are comfortable with the prevailing worldview of modernism that exists in many science textbooks and in science instruction in schools. However, this paradigm has come under threat in recent years from two main directions. First, the disenchantment with scientism as a credible omnipotent belief structure that began to occur in the twentieth century. Though still the default position in a number of textbooks, this logical positivism approach has been replaced in some academic circles by an equally strong philosophical force–that of postmodernism. Second, for educators and parents committed to a reformational perspective that celebrates the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all of creation and which seeks to apply a Christian worldview framework to all of life, neither of the two schemes of modernism or postmodernism above are acceptable. Christians who are concerned about the nature and content of teaching in science classrooms choose to frame science teaching and learning within a robust and credible, biblically authentic reformational context and develop strategies and resources for Christian school teachers to reflect this worldview. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the religious nature of science teaching, critique contemporary paradigms, and identify science classroom patterns that will reflect a Christian worldview in the specific context of the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin. |
