Integration ExerciseJuvenile Delinquency
“The 1950’s experienced a national concern over juvenile delinquency. Lack of discipline in the home was one of the chief reasons cited for the problem. Many parents no longer followed the biblical admonition to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. They instead turned to child-care books that emphasized helping children become sin-denying, guilt-free adults. Only the Bible, a much better answer to the problem of human guilt, outsold these popular books.”

Step 3: Select Relevant Connections
Direct application: integration of Bible content directly related to academic content
Indirect application: integration of biblical content not directly relevant to understanding the academic content but valuable for the larger purpose of biblical literacy
![Page 12: Semantic Connections Faith/Learning Integration Model William F. Cox, Jr., Ph.D. Silke Edelmann, Ed.D. Regent University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dc75503460f94abc7ee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Step 4: Integrate Connections
Integrate and enrich academic content with relevant biblical content
![Page 13: Semantic Connections Faith/Learning Integration Model William F. Cox, Jr., Ph.D. Silke Edelmann, Ed.D. Regent University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dc75503460f94abc7ee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Notes:
The model can be used at micro (lesson) or macro (course) level.
The more biblical understanding the richer the biblical integration
Skill development of teachers for skill impartation to students
