Supporting Modern Teaching in Islamic Schools: Pedagogical Best Practice for Teachers (Ismail Amzat, Ed.)

Abstract

The unprecedented challenges of the 21st century confront Islamic education with the pressing need to recenter its foundations to empower students through holistic flourishing. Against a backdrop of volatile uncertainty and ambiguous complexity, Supporting Modern Teaching in Islamic Schools: Pedagogical Best Practice for Teachers is a much-needed contribution to an under-explored field of study. Shedding light on contemporary educational practices in Islamic schools across the world, the book comprises both theoretical and empirical studies that address the gap in existent literature through insightful recommendations and a review of best educational practices. Edited by Ismail Hussein Amzat, an Associate Professor in the Department of Social Foundation and Educational Leadership at the International Islamic University Malaysia, the volume’s diverse array of studies unravels the richness and multiplicity of educational practices
in Islamic schools that nonetheless are faithfully aligned and in tune with the heterogenous nature of the Islamic Ummah.
