Islamic Philosophy Theory and Practice in Education

<p>Education enables man to live in the contemporary society</p><p>successfully by giving him systematic intellectual and moral instruction</p><p>and training. His knowledge, abilities, character, mental faculties etc. are</p><p>developed through a well-planned process of education.</p><p>Unprecedented changes have taken place in all areas of modern</p><p>education, especially in terms of restatement of its aims, restructuring of</p><p>its curricula, re-scheduling of teaching-learning processes, re-consideration</p><p>of the socio-economic status of the teacher, re-definition of the value</p><p>system etc. Modern treatises on education depict this changing trends.</p><p>For a long time, the shaping and development of character of the child</p><p>was considered one of the chief objectives of education. Now-a-days its</p><p>aim has been re-stated in economic terms as the investment in human</p><p>resource development which, of course, includes the development of</p><p>character and inculcation of permanent values in individuals. This</p><p>tendency in education is indicative of the continuous growth of education</p><p>as a science.</p><p>Very often in the present context, the word 'modern' implies the</p><p>Western system of education of modern times. The whole exercise of</p><p>education revolves round the processes of learning and teaching which</p><p>have undergone a continuous evolution.</p>
