Towards an Islamic curriculum : principles and issues
Many books have been written on the principles of curriculum, its foundations, theories, designs, practices and issues. However, these curriculum foundations and theories are largely based on Western ideas about knowledge whose foundation is liberal and secular. Although knowledge has been variously classified by great Muslim scholars, there is a dearth of curriculum texts based on the Islamic epistemological framework. This book was written to fill this vacuum. The first part discusses the principles and philosophical foundations of an Islamic education curriculum, and then moves on to deal with the problems of liberal and secular education, focusing specifically on dualistic educational systems that have beleaguered Muslim nations worldwide. As a resolution, several curriculum models of higher education are examined. The second part examines the issues with traditional teaching methods applied in Muslim education in light of globalization.
