Abstract

This paper is a critical exposition of Heidegger's concept of truth. The concept of truth has been an age-long discourse amongst scholars. This is because the notion cannot be extrapolated from man's being as a knowledge-seeking being. However, after many years of articulation and scholarship, questions like 'what constitutes truth?' or 'what is the nature of truth?' are yet to receive satisfactory answers. Every definition of truth tends to give rise to other perplexing philosophical problems. The three outstanding theories of truth (correspondence, coherence, and pragmatic theories) seem inefficient in answering the questions above. Heidegger then admonishes that we go back to the ancient Greek understanding of the notion, which meant 'unconcealment.' Upon this return, this research employs critical and analytic methods to expose the notion of truth as Aletheia, from Heidegger's perspective and its objections. Heidegger's truth is tied to the being of Dasein. He believes that truth only exists because Dasein exists to show it. This research asserts that when truth is regarded as Aletheia (disclosure), there are at least three repercussions of this character of truth. Truth is not limited to propositions; rather, it is discovered via many forms of Being-in-the-World. Second, truth is not only a matter of language and thought, but also the revelation of worldly creatures. Lastly, the truth, as Aletheia is constantly simultaneously exposing and hiding current events; that is, the truth is always in the process of becoming, as it is always in the process of being.

Abstract

This paper is a critical and expository study of the basic ideas in the process thought of Henri Bergson. Process philosophy is one of the oldest traditions in metaphysics, traceable to the doctrine of Heraclitus, an ancient Greek thinker. It is opposed to the idea of the Milesian thinkers like Thales and Anaximenes, who believed that reality consists of an unchanging substance that persists. Overtime, the view that reality is a novelty and, as such creative became a discourse of interest, either implicitly or explicitly, for many philosophers in the different epochs of western philosophy. As a result, different ideas emerged in an attempt to explain processes. However, these ideas have been discovered to point toward two directions – mechanism and finalism. As against this stance which pointed toward an end to the creative and novel posture of reality, Henri Bergson came up with his philosophy of multiple virtualities. However, how successful was his project? In this paper, therefore, we critically assess some strengths and weaknesses of the basic ideas in his thought process. However, though we have noted some inherent problems in his thought, Bergson’s idea of reality as multiple virtualities gives room to reality as continually processual, overcoming the mechanistic or finalistic you of other thinkers.

This research used a descriptive qualitative method, and the data was collected using observation and interviews of the teaching and process in the classroom. The results of this study demonstrated that verbal interaction and language style in a classroom are functioning effectively because the instructor can manage the situation and make the situation function properly by asking largely students for feedback. Nine types were explained in the findings: intrapersonal interaction, intrapersonal interaction, small group interaction, public interaction, formal style, informal style, group project, peer instruction, and discussion or debates. Based on the result above, it could be concluded that the verbal interaction between students and teacher and language styles in the classroom was running well.

Abstract

Yusuf Islam, also known as Cat Stevens, is a well-known singer and songwriter. He had decided to avoid the music industry for many years. He focused more on humanitarian activism as well as building educational institutions in London. In 2006, through the release of the album entitled "An Other Cup", Stevens marked his return to popular music with a strong intention to carry his Islamic vision. Furthermore, he connected his humanitarian activism with his lyrical compositions. The artist has shown very intense participation in crises that happened across countries. In dealing with these crises, the use of a single seemed very rational since such crises need a fast response and a single song is easier to compose than an album. The result of those circumstances is Stevens' releasing several songs in response to multiple crises across different countries. He released "The Little Ones" to voice the misery of the genocide in Bosnia. Similarly, Islam released "Indian Ocean" for the victims of the tsunami in Indonesia, "My People" to support people's freedom regarding political turmoil in the Arab world, such as Egypt and Tunisia, and "He Was Alone" to show sympathy for children's refugees at the Syrian-Turkish border. These responses were all released in his post-conversion phase. This essay argues that Yusuf Islam, also known as "Cat Stevens," has used his post-conversion lyrics, particularly his singles, to help voice the misery of the victims of multiple crises.

Abstract

Christian families are the primary institution in forming children's character into one that reflects Christlikeness. Instructing, educating, and guiding their children to become God-fearing individuals is a crucial responsibility that parents should take very seriously. This makes it necessary for them to take on a variety of roles in their children's character education, including 1) religious teacher, teaching their kids the fundamentals of Christianity to help them develop spiritual intelligence, 2) religious educator, educating kids faith-based applications to help them develop good personalities, and 3) religious role model, influencing their kids' lives. Children's character development leads to four outcomes: 1) a life filled with Christlike qualities that serve as a benchmark for their Christian faith; 2) a life guided by the Holy Spirit, who transforms children's lives; 3) an exemplary Christian life as a result of maturity, and 4) a life that bears the fruit of the Spirit.

Abstract

This study examines the contributions of pastoral counseling and storytelling in healing and restoring painful memories. The study applies Louw's life story and Lartey's relationship-oriented models as the theoretical framework. The data were collected through participant observation, document analysis, and the researchers' long years of experience in pastoral ministry and counseling. The finding reveals that storytelling remains a powerful tool for healing wounded memories. The pastoral counseling and storytelling create a safe space for seekers to interact, find the emotional strength to reignite healing processes, reclaim their volition, and create retrospection that reconnects the healing seekers with their painful memories. The study recommends that government should prioritize memory healing programs, partner with the Church, chiefs, and relevant organizations through sponsorship, provide counseling centers for hurting men to voice out and seek healing in their communities, regulate churches, and reduce violence shown on the South African media in the name of telling our stories or entertainment.

Abstract

Since the suspension of all types of face-to-face activities during the pandemic, colleges, secondary schools, and elementary schools have adopted the strategy of online education. As a result, teachers and students have used online teaching and learning on an unprecedented scale. Online learning or e-learning has been assumed to be a significant tool for effectively continuing the teaching-learning process during the lockdown. Teachers and students have had to quickly alter their teaching and learning strategies, regardless of whether they were experienced in and prepared for online education, an environment with electronic devices and online applications. Despite the innumerable potentials and benefits of online learning, such as cost-effectiveness, promoting self-paced learning, better retention, and catering to learners' needs, teachers may not readily make the most and get the full benefits of online learning. Some studies have shown that learning achievement in online learning is lower than in traditional face-to-face learning. The present study explores the teachers' perception of the use of digital technology in their online instruction and challenges or problems they face when implementing online learning instruction. Besides, this study will discuss the teachers' measures to respond to and cope with the problems.
