Role of Islamic Science Textbooks and Teaching Methods in Arab Schools and Universities and Ideological Extremism
Hammad, Hamza Abed Alkarim
Religious Education, v109 n1 p61-71 2014
The study concludes that most Islamic sciences courses in schools and universities adopt a dogmatic or indoctrinatory approach combined with little room for dialogue and discussion. The study recommends reconsidering Islamic science textbooks through including additional higher-order thinking skills and reconsidering Sharia faculties' syllabi.
