Advanced Islamic Education
The course aims to introduce students to critically explore diverse interpretations of ‘Islamic Education’ and examine historical, theological and
philosophical aspects of classical and modern Muslim educational thought, practice and institutions. Students will be introduced to the concept of ‘critical, contextual, plural and transformative Islamic Education’ through discussing diverse perceptions and scholarly approaches to define the subject. Students will have the opportunity of engaging critically with the Muslim educational/pedagogical legacy and explore how it shaped the formation of classical Islamic scientific and scholarly traditions. The course provides a reflective insight into the sources and origins of Islamic educational thought with special reference to perceptions of education in the Qur’an, prophetic traditions and the wider Muslim intellectual heritage. The role of knowledge(ilm) and knowledge bearers (ulama) in expressing Islamic civility within ethnically, culturally plural and gendered social spaces.
The course will specifically examine the traditions of Islamic Education, their historical formation and contemporary articulations within the
context of majority/minority Muslim societies in Global Southeast Asia. Students will assess existing national Islamic Education policies (
construction of curriculum, textbooks, pedagogy and teacher education systems) regarding mainstream as well as Islamic higher education
institutions. They will further discuss the educational challenges facing global Muslim communities with a special reference to understanding the process of educational change and its relationship with the wider sociopolitical reform initiatives. The course will critically examine how best to develop appropriate Islamic educational strategies to tackle religious extremism and address issues concerning the faith development of Muslim young people in the modern world.
The emphasis will be on the importance of contemporary educational research into Islamic Education, especially research springing from the
Social Sciences and Humanities directed towards philosophy, pedagogy, curriculum and policy related developments in contemporary Islamic
Education. Students will explore empirical and conceptual interdisciplinary research agenda of the field and develop their own specific areas of
research interest in Islamic Education. They will be encouraged to develop their own philosophies of Islamic Education.
Advanced Comparative Philosophy of Education
The purpose of this course is to clarify, deepen, and criticize the main and fundamental issues about education. The discussion covers a broad range of issues, including normative, epistemological, socio-political, and educational ethics. The normative aspect includes an in-depth discussion of the goals, principles, and functions of education, about what should be taught or what should be the content of education, how students should be treated, or about what kind of fair society should be realized through education. The course also discusses epistemological aspects, such as about what valuable knowledge should be developed for students and on what justification it is important for knowledge to be developed for students, about whether in education there is a place for beliefs that are not scientifically robust. Regarding the discussion of the socio-political dimension, for example, whether children/students have rights and if children's rights and parental rights conflict whose rights should be upheld, can children develop autonomy at the same time as being part of a religious or belief community. As for the ethical aspect, for example, regarding what kind of interactions should occur between teacher-leaders, teacher-students, between students, and between parties in educational institutions.
Included in the discussion are topics about the comparative or present traditions of thought from --- but not limited to -- the West, the Muslim world, and from Indonesia. This course will examine, among others, the traditions of Western thought, for example, John Dewey, traditions of Islamic thought, such as al-Ghazali, Fazlur Rahman, Naquib al-Attas, and traditions of Indonesian thought, such as Ki Hajar Dewantara. It is hoped that - after attending lectures - students have thoughts, broad insights about educational patterns and are able to reflect on the educational orientation of the Muslim world, the West, and Indonesia as well as be able to identify, differences and similarities, strengths and weaknesses of the thoughts discussed in the course against current education.
