CRITICAL ANALYSIS TEXTBOOK OF ISLAMIAT GRADE 10TH BALOCHISTAN TEXTBOOK BOARD

Abstract

The study aimed to examine Islamic textbooks considering the Balochistan secondary school curriculum for class 10^th. The study's scope was restricted to the subject of the Balochistan Board's Islamiat textbooks for grade 10^th. Observation and analysis were the study strategies used. A textbook document analysis was carried out. A qualitative analysis of the data was done. The content of the Islamiat textbook used in public schools was found to not accurately represent the 2006 national curriculum's emphasis on Islamic and moral values for children. Specific recommendations were given considering the findings. The objective of this critical study was to examine the educational framework, cultural sensitivity, historical coverage, and impact on students' moral and spiritual growth of the Grade 10^th Islamiat textbook provided by the Balochistan Textbook Board. The study commends the textbook for its skill in promoting cultural relevance and clearly explaining difficult theological themes. It examines the thorough treatment of Islamic history, praising the textbook's chronological structure and making recommendations for improvements to encourage more in-depth discussion. The analysis also emphasized how well the textbook bridges the theoretical and practical divide in Fiqh and how important it was for the growth of morality and ethics. Insights into Quranic studies are included at the end, highlighting the textbook's role in fostering students' spiritual development.
