7.3 Unit Assignment: Spiritual Growth Journal

Unit Seven Introduction Here we are at the end of our journey together. However, it is not the end of your journey in Christ nor is it the beginning. This week you will submit your final evaluation assignment, which is your discipleship journey paper. It has been said that a person really knows and understands an idea when he or she can apply it to their own life. Your paper will be a culmination of all that we have talked about and explored in this course. As we have discussed, it is important for the form of an educational (or discipleship) experience to match the content. Because this course is so process-focused, it makes little sense to have an objective, multiple-choice exam at the end of the course. The form would not match our content. So for your final evaluation you will continue to process and continue your journey. Your final evaluation assignment is in itself a work of spiritual discipline. May we never lead others to places we fear or avoid to tread ourselves. Unit Seven is the final unit in this course and as such will serve to tie together what you have learned about developmental theories, spiritual formation and the Biblical text. Obviously the Biblical text takes priority over all other texts. It has been said that all truth is Gods truth. So any truth located in developmental theories will not conflict with the Biblical narrative. Embrace what is good about the developmental theories. That which directly contradicts the Biblical narrative and authority must be re-examined and possibly even discarded. ————————————————————————————————————————————— Unit Seven Outcomes Upon completion of this unit you should be able to: 1. Analyze one’s own development in comparison to current human development theory. 2. Identify the major elements of the developmental theories we have studied. 3. Explain the basic principles of Christian spiritual formation. 4. Develop a plan for discipleship and faith development for the individual, the family, and the church. 5. Explain relationships between discipleship and spiritual formation. 6. Keep a spiritual journal of one’s growth. 7. Share one’s experiences in Christian formation with a small group or with the students.

Is the question descriptive, explorative, evaluative, predictive, explanatory, or controlled? Why?

The selected organization is Amazon, Inc. Use the selected paper (Assignment 1) on Amazon for preliminary information. As discussed in Assignment 1, a research need is broadly defined as any issue associated with an organization that can be addressed in the context of the data science life cycle. For example, a school with a high student attrition rate is a business need. A hospital with poor efficiencies at admission is a business need. Once the business need is established, the need must be further developed to establish if it is worth researching. Can it be researched quantitatively? Are there existing data? Would answering the question resolve a problem or issue, and would the results lead to a return on investment (ROI) or experiences? Stated differently, is the ROI to research a problem worth the cost based on real-world outcomes? To begin the transition from a business need to a research project, a research question must be developed. This will begin to focus the project into something manageable and testable. Develop five research questions for the organization selected (Amazon, Inc.). For each question: 1. Specify the research question. 2. Is the question descriptive, explorative, evaluative, predictive, explanatory, or controlled? Why? 3. What do you already know about the problem resulting in this question? 4. What theoretical constructs might help answer or explain the problem? 5. How it could be quantitatively measured; ., what metrics could you use to answer the question? 6. What do you hope the outcome of the research will yield?
