Introduction
A worldview is based on an individual’s interpretation, response and understanding of the world they live in. As Christians, we approach life based on God’s Word which is the basis for a biblical worldview. “A biblical worldview is based on the infallible Word of God” (Tackett, 2006).

This verse provides details confirming the fact that God’s intention was for man to rule all things on earth, which is another tenet of the biblical worldview. My interpretation of that verse is that all aspects of life fall into this category, including educational
