KEY TO YOUR REFLECTIONS
As human history makes its progressive trek on the shifting sands of time; the problem of our world continues to change in nature and kind. Today ours is an age of knowledge and great enlightenment. No one can say today that the problem of our time is the problem of knowledge or how to know; rather we are faced today with the problem of understanding or how to understand. With the highly raised profile of science and technology, our era celebrates the great
wizardry of computerization and very effective powers of information technology. The effect is that every man and woman is eventually exposed to much new data or information which were hitherto unknown. Yet in the midst of this piquant liberty we still see our world lastly sinking headlong into a dungeon of drab immoralities and terror.
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE
Nobody doubts that poetry cuts across all spheres of human experiences, spanning from emotion, reason to interactions. So whether poetry discusses appearance, names, or external matter, it qualifies as poem, but this work, “great truth about life”, is born to address that clamorous outcry of Plato on poetry. In fact tracing down the memory lane of the history of scholarship, it is inferable that poetry in time preceded philosophy and science. But with the emergence of philosophy-a discipline that toes the part of reason and lashes out dynamically to search for truth (reality) anywhere it could be found , philosophy was then taken to wear a garment of superiority over poetry and rhetoric.
GOD AND RELIGION IN THE 21st CENTURY
Upon my personal research and enquiries, I noticed that our youths do not realize where God really plays any important role in their lives amid their struggles to succeed in life. This is an error. This kind of error can easily occur because God is not physical. Not only in Africa, even in Europe…
Looking for answers, Pope Francis, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, agrees that “the modern man surely has a different way of looking at life in general, God and religion in particular”. I know that modern changes in many aspects of life may have contributed to this.
PROMOTING STEAM EDUCATION THROUGH RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE
The world is large and life itself is complex. So, education (Rufai,2014), as an effective means of developing the full capacities and potentials of the human resource”, cannot achieve its objective if teachers continue to teach students with a unidirectional curriculum like STEM. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
In general, this work is of the view that no single learning experience or subject can answer all the questions of the human person; especially as life becomes more complex in this digital age. This is why STEAM education has become necessary for our students and comes to us through research as timely educational innovation. Evidently, STEAM is more comprehensive than STEM.
THE PLACE OF TEACHING IN THE SOCIETY
In a short page dedicated to Teachers, a question was posited: who is a teacher? Immediately many descriptions and qualifications followed as follows; “some say a good man or woman, fun loving, passionate and very curious. Another group says a rock star and game changer anywhere anytime. Others say awesome and goofy. And for many other folk, an artist and an engaging magician etc” (Alozie, 2015). The writer ended up by saying that teacher are world builders, which directly are world builders, which directly catches a glimpse of the link between teaching and the society…
EDU-TECH AND THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM IN AFRICA; A GREAT POSSIBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY.
Contrary to a vast array of opinions which tend to say that Edutech may not be able to function well in Africa, this work has come to uncover many reasons why Ed-tech is not only a possibility but even a great opportunity for Africa and the world. According to Eze (2018), “Educational Technology is an eclectic or integrated discipline which provides a common ground for knowledge and ideas from other fields such as: Psychology, Sociology, Engineering, Communication and Cybernetics, Graphic Arts, Economics, Management, Philosophy and others”.
