Vision Coaching

We as believers are on a mission for God. God has called us to uniquely contribute to the life He has given. We each are responsible for our part in that mission. When we discover what that personal mission is, our daily lives serve a purpose and have meanings.

HIS focuses on training students to be the people of mission (with vision).
In all levels of education, HIS’ school curriculum implements and evaluates within the logic of Vision coaching. Students reflect on the following three questions.

1. What are the 'Values' of God?

2. What is the 'Vision' that God has given me?

3. What is the 'Mission' that God has commanded me to accomplish?

Systems Thinking Learning

Monitoring and Information Filtering

Systems thinking enables people to look at problems in new ways and that leads to new solutions.

Monitoring and Information Filtering

Monitoring is observing the REAL WORLD we live in. Monitoring keeps in track of and accurately understands the current state of the world, this aims to increase the chances of achieving the mission by God.

Systems Thinking Learning

What is Systems Thinking

The demands of abilities within the leaders around the world are constantly changing. Currently, some of the most sought-out traits are problem-solving skills, personality and so on, but the most important of all is insight. To have the intuition and the capability to understand the implications of an individual object and therefore, the relationship between the individual objects, holds the key of insight.

Systems thinking means understanding a system by examining the linkages and interactions between the elements that compose the entirety of the system. That is the core of systems thinking. And with this type of thinking, students and teachers can learn to make positive changes in systems.

We believe it is essential to help young people understand how systems work, how they are represented, how they change—via direct or indirect means—and how to ask “what if” questions about future outcomes. We use systems thinking as a framework and set of tools to help students develop thinking skills that empower them to explore and understand complex problems. So, what is a system? A system, human-made or natural, exists and functions as a whole through the dynamic interaction of its independent parts. When one part of a system changes, it affects other parts of the system, and ultimately affects the stability and sustainability of the system. Different systems include natural systems dealing with biodiversity, political systems made of associated institutions, economic systems that drive production, and social systems governed by rules.

Systems thinking is looking at things as a whole rather than a jumble of parts.

Why Systems Thinking

In an increasingly changing educational landscape, our systems are in a constant state of transformation and unpredictable change. How system leaders and their teams respond to these changes is the mark of a true systems thinker. This leadership-like thinking is the type that will move our districts into the future and will serve to eliminate the “red-tape” challenges that plague the work of educators. Designing and leading complex, adaptive school systems should be the emphasis of future education reform efforts.

This outlook helps students to view the systems in the society from a broader perspective that includes seeing overall structures, patterns and cycles in systems. This broad mindset will further encourage identifying the real causes of issues and know just where to work to address them. Therefore, helping students develop habits of mind that can further empower them to creatively examine complex problems in the functional world.

ST Habits of Mind

Seeking to understand the big picture
Seeing patterns/trends in systems
Recongizing how a system’s structure causes its behavior
Identifying cause and effect relationships
Surfacing and testing assumptions
Finding where unintended consequences might arise
Finding leverage points to change a system
Resisting making quick conclusions

Monitoring and Information Filtering

God is a missionary God, people are therefore missionary. As a result, each Christian has a unique mission sent by Him. Christians should have two main models in their life; real world model and mission model. Missiology models can be interpreted as the life they wish to create or change through their own, and a real world model fine-tunes the development of building therefore studying the probability of the mission model. Without a doubt, God has set a mission for all His people so Christians can live their life with value and further work to accomplish their goals.

Although many people have a mission model, it is not easy to achieve the mission since it doesn’t coexist with “reality-based” strategies, tactics, and plans.

But seeing the world is not as easy as it sounds. This is because information about the world is flooding with contaminated identity, broadcasting, and social media. If you inadvertently accept the wrong information that has been distorted, the REAL WORLD model constructed through the information will have to be distorted.

'CRITICAL THINKING' is one of the core competencies required for future social talent. Critical thinking refers to the process of reasoning or the ability to distinguish the suitability and incompatibility of information materials. The reason why critical thinking is emphasized is because society needs the ability to analyze and solve problems in an unbiased attitude in the flood of information.

The ability to reduce the bias and “errors” in decision making of the world's reasoning and instead using monitoring by filtering information that is the material way of thinking, is the starting point of using insightful thinking and the beginning of correct problem solving.

STEAM Learning

STEAM refers to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. Through STEAM education, students' interest in science and technology could be enhanced by using concepts and principles in science and mathematics to create a framework. This permits students to link solving problems to real life such as engineering, technology, and art.

Unfortunately, students cannot simply be intrigued and interested solely through momerization with information contained in textbooks. STEM literacy differs as it aims to cultivate creative convergence talents by mplementing implementing those values in various learning tools.

EV3

EV3 is the third generation robot kit from Legos Mindstorm line. With the help of motors, sensors, gears, wheels and axles, lego relate their typical Lego robots with programming.

This way of building legos stimulates critical thinking in the process of building algorithms. By exploring the professional feel about projects such as building, exploring machines and studying gear mechanisms, EV3 becomes the perfect IT talent in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Because the number of jobs constantly being replaced by the growing changes in the use of artificial intelligence. Students must learn to use computing thinking based on developed intuition and imagination that are characteristics only humans can obtain. EV3 therefore, is an useful tool for students to further grow IT talent.

MINECRAFT

Minecraft is advertised as an open world indie game distributed by Microsoft Studios. This game allows endless activities including free range architecture by using cubes blocks and tools.

Through many educators around the world, minecraft became known to be a great alternative to traditional and one-sided education methods specifically used to promote children’s motivation, cooperation, problem solving, critical thinking, and computer skills. In a fun way, students can apply game elements and develop core competencies needed in the future.

Project-Based Learning

What is the PBL?

Project Based Learning (PBL) aims to give students an opportunity to invest in their own individual interests and develop the knowledge and skills to engage in those real-life problems through a variety of projects.

PBL uses a student-centered approach to explore the complexity of problem solving skills with investigations. A result of stimulating authentic, engaging, conversations in extended periods of time, PBL introduces a teaching method that prompts profound thinking intelligence analyzing deeper meanings instead of the 2 dimensional understandings. .

Essential PBL Design Elements

Why Project-Based Learning?

Project-based learning is an essential insight students must learn to sustain living in a project-based world. Most working people will opt to live their life with a course of projects to add to their career portfolio instead of working at a singular job for the rest of their lives. Since this is the case, it’s important to understand the fundamental method to solve real-life problems as students that are equally important to adults.

PBL works with students for long periods of time for up to a minimum of weeks and even up to the whole semester. Collaboration and creating a real product with a great deal of thought and attention allows students to feel personal and recognizes connections of their educational knowledge to their real-life. This relation allows deep, long-term interests to continue to seek mastery, meaningful work throughout their academic, career and personal growth.

As academic authorities, we need to prepare young students to take initiative in tackling challenges. PBL adequately promotes this with the help of creating learning experiences that ultimately prepare students for a successful future.

Benefits of Project-Based Learning

Conventional learning often starts with short-term memorization. Throughout many studies and trials of different methods, we’ve moved past those two-dimensional ways of thinking and developed newer and more effective ways we can prepare our students to a brighter, more successful future. PBL ability to create long-term retention continues to build engaging content that positively promotes better attitudes towards subjects and matters regarding school.

With the help of scholars like Daniel Pink, we can understand that people are motivated by autonomy, mastery and purpose. When brainstorming meaningful questions and solutions, the PBL model enhances them.

Other studies, like the one conducted at University of Michigan, proves that PBL can revamp high-poverty areas as it opts to empathize on project based studies and brings attention to how students are able to adapt and navigate problems, inspiring higher student achievements.

As this type of learning challenges the traditional methods of teaching, it brings focus on new student technologies as well. This 21st century method of developing teamwork, problem-solving skills, and communication are developed on the basis of technology (interdisciplinary, collaborative, inquiry-based, self-directed, motivating) and embraces different learning styles for all individuals in the classroom. Adopting tech-based projects implements social-emotional learning skills through collaborative work operating digital literacies and digital citizenship goals.
