Big Ideas/Key Themes
- Lifelong learning
- Must address ethical conduct of students
- Linking reason/rationality with values, character, the Divine, “whole” child
- Teacher responsibility to bestow values and desire of good
- Built on Greeks’ work, adapted into Islamic theory
- Pedagogy informed by theologians, jurists, scientists, mystics, and philosophers - not educators
