TRADITIONAL FUNDAMENTALS, METHODS AND INNOVATIONS IN THE TEACHING OF SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS DISCIPLINES AS А PART OF ISLAMIC THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Currently we perceive the system of Muslim education through the prism of those tasks that are set for the educational system of our country in general: through such endeavors we would be able to improve and build a reasonable interaction with the secular educational system. However, purely Islamic educational institutions have their own specifics that should not be ignored. Traditional teaching methods of Islamic disciplines have crystallized throughout the centuries; they proceed from the content of a subject and the logic of its study and always represent the basis of teaching. Traditional teaching basics are not only focused on building knowledge and skills, but also on spiritual and moral molding of personality, i.e. the learning of adab. These methods come from practical skills to intellectual skills and from them — to generic knowledge. The Islamic educational process is characterized by integrity, which manifests itself in the unity of intensional, motivational, organizational, operational and procedural aspects. Today the integrity of ethic norms and educational processes is the subject of scrutiny of pedagogy and didactics. However, the undeniable and unsurpassed legacy in the sphere of the teaching of Islamic disciplines is still insufficiently explored.
