Joyful Learning in the Kodály Music Classroom
No full textIn my qualitative, phenomenological study, I explored the connection between Kodály pedagogy and joyful learning, examining how it takes shape in Kodály classrooms. My preliminary findings suggest that while joyful learning is central to Kodály education, its implementation varies due to differing interpretations. Through interviews and observations of eight music educators in Cambridge Public Schools, Cambridge, MA, I found that joyful learning flourishes in structured yet flexible environments where students feel engaged, supported, and culturally recognized. The teachers I interviewed emphasized student agency, collaboration, and creative expression while advocating for adaptable, student-centered approaches. I concluded that Kodály fosters confidence, creativity, and community, empowering students of all backgrounds to develop a lifelong, joyful connection to music
Theories of Knowledge, Education, and Artificial Intelligence
No full textTheories of knowledge and education are deeply intertwined, if not inextricably bound together. In the present time, theories of knowledge and education that are predicated on human cognition are complicated by the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). Complications are evidenced through questions such as: What counts as knowledge? How is knowledge created? Can machines create knowledge? How should teachers and students approach AI? This presentation provides an overview of literature related to theories of knowledge, education, and artificial intelligence and discusses practical implications for educators in K-12 and higher education
Emotions and Human Flourishing

The Three Angels’ Messages and the Seventh-day Sabbath: Antidotes to the 1844 Theological Divide of Neo-Darwinism, Karl Marx, and Frederick Nietzsche
Full text linkThe “Great Disappointment” of October 22, 1844, left a group of believers wondering what did happen in 1844. This seminal time period in world history was also defined by the scientific and philosophical ideas of Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, and Frederick Nietzsche that challenged God’s grace and redemption at (1) creation; (2) Mt. Sinai; and (3) Calvary. The Three Angels’ Messages and the seventh-day Sabbath are Christ’s antidote to awaken humanity from this confused and deceived state of reality. They also address the secular philosophies of Neo-Darwinism, Marx, and Nietzsche. Seventh-day Adventists need to embrace a new understanding of 1844 and the seventh-day Sabbath to encourage youth in a secular world to go from an attitude of “who Cares?” to having a globally inclusive message that unites and ignites the world with the self-sacrificial love of Jesus
