11 Aug Worldview is expansive and encompasses self-interest, social, political, economic, and religious values and ideologies.
Discussion: Worldview and Education Policy
Schlitz et al. (2011) provide a simplified definition of worldview as “the ways in which we make sense and meaning of the world around us” (p. 1). While the construction of a worldview is largely unconscious, they propose that individuals can consciously acquire the skills and capabilities needed to understand their own worldviews. These same skills can be applied to increasing awareness and acceptance of the worldviews of others, granting these views legitimacy (even when they seem at odds with one’s own sense-making) without having to actually adopt their worldview (Schlitz et al., 2011). Worldview is expansive and encompasses self-interest, social, political, economic, and religious values and ideologies.
In this Discussion, you will debate the effect of education policy on groups with divergent worldviews. You will be asked to agree or disagree with a stimulus question. You will proceed to make an informed argument for your position based on the reading and your experience.
To prepare for this Discussion, review the articles by Schlitz et al. (2011), Tikly and Barrett (2011) and any of the optional resources that align with your educational interests. Reflect on your experience in education settings with groups that have divergent worldviews.
