Q: How is biblical worldview integration accomplished in the classroom?
A: Everyone has a worldview that is the assimilation of all the pieces of information, ideas, and experiences a person absorbs to form the big picture that contains their values, morals, and beliefs. Biblical worldview integration is all of these pieces of life brought within the understanding of God’s larger frame of reference. Christian education helps students make the connection between the facts of academics and the broader context of God’s point of view. This connection gives true meaning and significance to those facts of academics. Biblical worldview integration does not happen just because a teacher is a Christian or because the teacher uses academics to illustrate a spiritual truth. Biblical worldview integration is an intentional process. To be equipped for the task of biblical worldview integration, a teacher should have
1) a personal and growing relationship with Jesus Christ,
2) a fundamental knowledge of the biblical worldview and the presuppositions pertaining to it, and
3) an understanding of the particular subject matter to be put into the context of the biblical worldview. This aspect of biblical worldview integration is the essence of the TCS mission. (Overman & Johnson, 2003, Making the Connections)
