主題:  以創造科學為主題的科學技術和社會課

        程的豐富性:菲律賓大學福音的開放之門

菲律賓世俗的高等教育的大多數學生都認為進化論是科學的,因為他們長期以來接受純粹自然主義課程的教導。他們從沒接受過創造論的教導並且認為創造論是屬於宗教信仰。

但是,隨著K-12課程的實施,所有大學生都必須修讀新的通識教育課程《科學技術與社會》。規定的課程包括達爾文革命,弗洛伊德革命,語言的作用,基因改造,納米世界,基因療法和氣候變化。 透過檢視課程我們發現老師可以自由地加入創造科學的主題以增加課程內容的豐富性,而不會被指控為“宗教”性質。可能的創造科學主題包括“混沌與宇宙”,“創造與進化”,“語言史”,“命理學”,GMO,基因療法,對稱性,智能設計,光合作用,“維持生命的地球”和“全球變暖:創造論者的觀點”。

花三個學期教授這些創造論的擴充課程對於創造主義論來說是有利。

在介紹創造主題之前會先讓學生做問卷調查。 從他們的回答中可以發現,進化論是由小學科學老師教給他們的,只有大約15%的學生知道一些有關創造科學的主題,大約85%的學生不知道這一點,然而有大約90%的學生相信進化論是一門真正的科學,但卻無法解釋它全部的含義。 在學期末的創造論評量上可以發現,學生們對於創造論又有更深一層的理解,並且能夠懂得欣賞上帝是位聰明絕頂的世界設計師同時也是人類的救世主。 計畫將這些指導教材研發成教學講義並且在不久的將來可以應用在大規模的大學教師培訓和佈道上。

Topic: Enriching Science Technology and Society Curriculum with Creation Science Topics: An Open Door for the Gospel in Philippine Universities

Most students in secular tertiary schools in the Philippines think  that the theory of evolution is scientific due to a purely naturalistic curriculum presented to them. Creationism was never introduced because it was considered “ religious”.

However, with the implementation of the K-12 curriculum, a new general education course, Science Technology and Society, was required for all college students to take. The prescribed curriculum includes Darwinian Revolution, Freudian Revolution, The Role of Language, Genetic Modification, the Nano World, Gene Therapy, and Climate Change.    Examining the curriculum, it was found out that a teacher can freely insert creation science topics as enrichment lectures  without being accused as ‘religious’. Possible creation science topics  include Chaos and Cosmos, Creation versus Evolution, the History of Languages, Baraminology, GMOs, Gene Therapy, Symmetry, Intelligent Design, Photosynthesis, The Life Sustaining Earth, and Global Warming: Creationist’s Point of View.

Three semesters of inserting these creation topics as curriculum enrichment showed positive results in favor of creationism. Before creation topics were introduced, survey questions were given to the students to answer. From their responses, it was found that evolution was first  introduced to them by their science teachers in the elementary grades, only about 15 % of the students know some topics about creation science, about 85 % did not know about it,  and about 90%  believed that evolution is a true science yet  can not explain what it is all about. Evaluation of student responses on creation science topics at the end of the semester showed that their knowledge on creationism was enhanced and they were able to appreciate God as the Intelligent Designer of the world and the Savior of mankind.  It is intended that instructional materials will be developed out of the lecture notes and will be used for massive college  teacher training and evangelism in the near future.
