BRIDGING ISLAMIC PEDAGOGY AND MODERN EDUCATION: A FRAMEWORK FOR HOLISTIC LEARNING

Abstract

This study explores the integration of Islamic pedagogy with modern educational practices to develop a holistic learning framework that addresses intellectual, moral, and spiritual dimensions of education. Islamic pedagogy emphasizes values-based learning, character development (tarbiyah), and community-oriented knowledge acquisition, while modern education focuses on critical thinking, technological integration, and global competencies. This research synthesizes these paradigms to propose an inclusive model fostering cognitive skills alongside ethical and spiritual growth. Qualitative analysis of existing scholarly works, traditional Islamic educational principles, and contemporary pedagogical theories reveals significant intersections between the two systems. The findings indicate that bridging these frameworks can create a transformative learning experience capable of nurturing well-rounded individuals prepared for both worldly success and moral accountability. This framework serves as a guideline for educators, policymakers, and institutions seeking culturally sensitive and ethically grounded educational reforms in diverse learning environments.
