The lecture will be followed by a network gathering in the garden and is titled “Teaching Methods and Knowledge Transfer in Classical Islam: Revealing Insights from the World of Early Muslim Educators”. The lecture will be held by Prof. Dr. Sebastian Guenther (University of Göttingen).
Concept Note
Classical Muslim thinkers left a rich legacy of educational theories, presenting a unique pedagogical outlook. They explored teaching methods, learning processes, educational aims, and the roles of students and teachers.
These scholars also addressed didactics, including curriculum design and methods of knowledge transfer. Despite the significance of their contributions, a comprehensive study of classical Islamic pedagogy remains lacking.
