EXAMINING EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES THROUGH THE LENS OF ISLAMIC TEACHINGS: A FOCUS ON TEACHING METHODOLOGIES

Abstract

This study explores teaching methodology from the perspective of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). This study aims to understand the key elements of effective teaching and learning strategies and their application in contemporary educational settings. The findings show that the teaching methods used in contemporary educational settings are mostly teacher-centered and focus on imparting knowledge rather than promoting critical thinking, curiosity, and active learning. On the other hand, the teaching methods used during the Prophet (PBUH) were student-centered and focused on creating an interactive and engaging learning environment that fostered critical thinking, curiosity, and active learning. The study emphasizes how important the guidance of the Qur'an and Sunnah is for effective teaching methods. The study concluded that effective teaching and learning strategies should be based on the principles of the Qur'an and Sunnah. It should aim to create an interactive and engaging learning environment that fosters critical thinking and active learning. The study recommends integrating student-centered teaching methods in contemporary educational settings to enhance student learning outcomes. It is suggested that teaching methodology based on the Quran and Sunnah can play a significant role in the development of an individual's character and personality. This study highlights the need to develop a comprehensive framework for Islamic education that can be used in contemporary times. The research also highlights the need to develop a curriculum that integrates Islamic teachings and contemporary knowledge to prepare individuals to meet the challenges of the modern world.
