Theologie – Wikipedia

Theologie - Wikipedia

Theologie ( griechisch θεολογία theología, von θεός altgriechisch theós ‚Gott' und λόγος lógos ‚Wort, Rede, Lehre') bedeutet „die Lehre von Gott" oder Göttern im Allgemeinen und die Lehren vom Inhalt eines spezifischen religiösen Glaubens und seinen Glaubensdokumenten im Besonderen.

Kritik innerhalb der Theologie

Kritik begleitet die ganze Kirchengeschichte, denn Auseinandersetzungen zwischen der etablierten Kirche und abweichenden Strömungen sind stets mit Kritik (an den Ansichten der anderen) verbunden. Daneben gibt es von Beginn an auch ein selbstkritisches Hinterfragen des eigenen Verständnisses. Paulus mahnte: „Prüft alles und behaltet das Gute!“ (1 Thess 5,21 EU), und verwies auf die Vorläufigkeit unseres jeweiligen Erkenntnisstandes („unser Erkennen ist Stückwerk …“ 1 Kor 13,9.12 EU). Gegenwärtig betonen theologische Lexika die kritische Aufgabe der Theologie.

 

[2] Für Heinzpeter Hempelmann ist Kritik „die einzig angemessene Antwort auf (einen) Offenbarungsanspruch“, denn die Spuren eines die menschliche Vernunft derart in Frage stellenden Ereignisses wie die Menschwerdung Gottes seien „unterscheidend und prüfend“ wahrzunehmen.[3] Das Thema Kritik im Bereich der christlichen Religion behandelt Franz Graf-Stuhlhofer grundsätzlich im Buch Christliche Bücher kritisch lesen[4] sowie in der Studie Facetten kritischen Denkens.[5]

7 skills your child needs to survive the changing world of work | #ModernEDU #ModernLEARNing

7 skills your child needs to survive the changing world of work | #ModernEDU #ModernLEARNing | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Education may be the passport to the future, but for all the good teaching out there, it would seem that schools are failing to impart some of the most important life skills, according to one educational expert.

Dr. Tony Wagner, co-director of Harvard's Change Leadership Group, argues that today’s school children are facing a “global achievement gap”, which is the gap between what even the best schools are teaching and the skills young people need to learn.

This has been exacerbated by two colliding trends: firstly, the global shift from an industrial economy to a knowledge economy, and secondly, the way in which today’s school children – brought up with the internet – are motivated to learn.

In his book The Global Achievement Gap, Wagner identifies seven core competencies every child needs in order to survive in the coming world of work.

1. Critical thinking and problem-solving

 

2. Collaboration across networks and leading by influence

 

3. Agility and adaptability

 

4. Initiative and entrepreneurialism

 

5. Effective oral and written communication

 

6. Accessing and analysing information

 

7. Curiosity and imagination

Suggestivfrage – Wikipedia

Suggestivfrage - Wikipedia

Eine Suggestivfrage ist eine Frageform, bei der der Befragte durch die Art und Weise der Fragestellung beeinflusst wird, eine Antwort mit vorbestimmtem Aussageinhalt zu geben, die der Fragesteller erwartet. Die Art und Weise der Frage hat den Zweck, auf das Denken, Fühlen, Wollen oder Handeln einer Person einzuwirken und den Befragten von einer rational bestimmten Antwort abzuhalten.

Suggestivfragen finden in der Psychologie, in der Rhetorik, in der Vernehmungspraxis, im Verkaufsgespräch, in der Markt- und Meinungsforschung sowie im alltäglichen Sprachgebrauch Anwendung, werden jedoch aufgrund ihres Beeinflussungscharakters nicht geschätzt.

Wer diese Frageform anwendet, stellt keine wirkliche Frage, sondern beabsichtigt, seine Idee, Sicht oder Meinung einer anderen Person zu suggerieren, um beeinflussend zu wirken.

Nützlich kann eine Suggestivfrage dann sein, wenn sie eine vorhandene Gemeinsamkeit im Denken, Fühlen, Wollen oder Handeln mit einer Person betonen soll.

Being Conscious About Our Unconscious Biases


I attended a very interesting workshop a few weeks ago on the topic of “Unconscious Bias” facilitated by Smita Tharoor. I was interested in this topic because I explored the intersection of critical thinking and leadership a few years ago. This was a good opportunity to get back to the topic and add to my understanding.

What is Unconscious Bias
The term ‘cognitive bias’ was coined by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman in 1972 which quite simply means “our tendency to filter information, process facts and arrive at judgments based on our past experiences, likes/dislikes and automatic influences.”

How do these biases show up in Leadership?
A lot of leadership is about taking decisions involving group of people. Instinctive leaders often tend to decide quickly based on limited information or experience they have at hand. The result is that they end up taking wrong decisions (which may have worked for them in past but may not work in a different context), or discriminating with people of a certain color, race, sex or nationality based on their past experiences with similar people.  At work, biases (or the perception of bias) is the biggest contributor to people disengagement and cost of disengagement is huge. Lack of critical thinking also leads to short-termism where decisions are taken for immediate gains and solutions of today become thorny problems of tomorrow.

 

==============================================

Look for the contrary. It helps playing a devil’s advocate and taking a contrarian view of things. It not only challenges others to think harder but also helps you in really understanding if they are just defending their own biases.

==============================================

In common parlance, a devil's advocate is someone who, given a certain argument, takes a position they do not necessarily agree with (or simply an alternative position from the accepted norm), for the sake of debate or to explore the thought further.

Ernest Tay Yu Zhe's comment, January 29, 2018 12:13 PM
This article is intriguing, given that so many of us are leaders in our own way. Being a leader doesn't necessarily mean being the CEO of a multi-million dollar company. Rather, many day to day activities test our leadership skills, from simply deciding what to eat for lunch with your group of friends to delegating responsibilities during group projects. Hence, it is especially important for us to be aware of our unconscious biases that may affect our decision making, whether we are aware of it or not. By taking the steps shared in the article, we are able to better make more well-informed decisions that address the whole picture, as compared to making decisions just based on our point of view or just to convenience or improve things from our own perspective. It is these small steps that we take in the beginning as leaders in school or everyday life that will ultimately train us to make better decisions in the long run and allow us to become successful in the future, as being aware of one's unconscious biases are essential in becoming a successful leader.
