Islamic Philosphy of Education

Description

Islamic Philosophy of Education by Prof. K. Mohammed is a guide for teachers, teacher-trainees and educationists. Part One explains the major educational philosophies discussed in modern education: idealism, pragmatism, naturalism, realism and existentialism. It also covers axiology, epistemology, metaphysics and teaching methodology. Part Two takes up the same themes again from the standpoint of Islamic philosophy, and discusses their significance and influence on modern educational practice. The book also covers the psychology and sociology of education. Its central argument is that education is a lifelong process, and that Islamic philosophy can help people judge and accept or reject the ideas and influences they meet. The back cover carries a recommendation by Dr. M. Abdul Salam, former Vice Chancellor of the University of Calicut. It suits B.Ed. and teacher-education students, teachers, and readers interested in Islamic thought and education.
