Islamic Religious Education in Europe
Against the backdrop of labour migration and the ongoing refugee crisis, the ways in which Islam is taught and engaged with in educational settings has become a major topic of contention in Europe. Recognising the need for academic engagement around the challenges and benefits of effective Islamic Religious Education (IRE), this volume offers a comparative study of curricula, teaching materials, and teacher education in fourteen European countries, and in doing so, explores local, national, and international complexities of contemporary IRE. Considering the ways in which Islam is taught and represented in state schools, public Islamic schools, and non-confessional classes, Part One of this volume includes chapters which survey the varying degrees to which fourteen European States have adopted IRE into curricula, and considers the impacts of varied teaching models on Muslim populations. Moving beyond individual countries’ approaches to IRE, chapters in Part Two offer multi-disciplinary perspectives – from the hermeneutical-critical to the postcolonial – to address challenges posed by religious teachings on issues such as feminism, human rights, and citizenship, and the ways these are approached in European settings. Given its multi-faceted approach, this book will be an indispensable resource for postgraduate students, scholars, stakeholders and policymakers working at the intersections of religion, education and policy on religious education.
Curriculum Renewal for Islamic Education
This book demonstrates why and how it is necessary to redesign Islamic Education curriculum in the K-12 sector globally. From Western public schools that integrate Muslim perspectives to be culturally responsive, to public and private schools in Muslim minority and majority contexts that teach Islamic studies as a core subject or teach from an Islamic perspective, the volume highlights the unique global and sociocultural contexts that support the disparate trajectories of Islamic Education curricula. Divided into three distinct parts, the text discusses current Islamic education curricula and considers new areas for inclusion as part of a general renewal effort that includes developing curricula from an Islamic worldview, and the current aspirations of Islamic education globally. By providing insights on key concepts related to teaching Islam, case studies of curriculum achievements and pitfalls, and suggested processes and pillars for curriculum development, contributors present possibilities for researchers and educators to think about teaching Islam differently. This text will benefit researchers, doctoral students, and academics in the fields of secondary education, Islamic education, and curriculum studies. Those interested in religious education as well as the sociology and theory of religion more broadly will also enjoy this volume.
Childhood Education in Islam and Christianity
Childhood Education in Islam and Christianity discusses issues of religious education that the two world religions Christianity and Islam offer to their respective young children as religion or faith that lead beliefs, virtues and lifestyle for the faithful beginning in the child's tender age. The book is written with awareness that for many observers of religion, the landscape of Christianity and Islam is filled with suspicion, hatred, violent armed confrontations that characterize encounters between Islam and Christianity in Africa, North America, Europe, Middle East, Central and East Asia. Terrorism, intelligence and counter-intelligence accompanied by bombing and destruction have become the order of the from history and media perspective. It is impossible to identify the difference between religion and politics, economics, government, and militarism. It is impossible to find an area in the field of human existence that is not affected by religious interests of these two religions. This book examines praxis aspects of the religion that Islam and Christianity teach and practice, in the madrassahs and Sunday schools, of the mosque and the church, based in Nairobi city as a creative frontier Christian-Muslim encounter seen from the eyes and heard from voices of young children, their teachers and religious programme directors for and on behalf of Muslim and Christian children. The book seeks to answer the questions "What do Christians and Muslims teach as religious faith? How do they teach it? How are the faith lessons perceived by the learner? What issues concerning religion would members of one religious group like clarification about the other?" The aim of the book is to get to the core of children's religious education for Islam and Christian beyond the rambling of the media creation of wars between Christianity and Islam, the Church and the Mosque, who could be innocent neighbours in one way or another. Knowing facts is a must for the reader of this book.
