پاکستان کے دینی مدارس میں رائج طریق تدریس کاابن خلدون کے نظریہ تعلیم کی روشنی میں تجزیاتی مطالعہ

An Analytical Study of the Teaching Methods Prevalent in Religious Schools of Pakistan in the Light of Ibn Khaldun's Theory of Education

Abstract

Khaldun’s philosophy of education. Ibn Khaldun emphasized that education should be gradual, student-centered, and balanced between rational and transmitted sciences. He highlighted the importance of moral, spiritual, and practical training, while condemning rote memorization and physical punishment. In contrast, the madrasa system in Pakistan primarily focuses on transmitted sciences and memorization, often neglecting modern sciences and practical skills. The comparative analysis shows that integrating Ibn Khaldun’s approach—such as gradual learning, practical experience, inclusion of rational sciences, and a student-friendly environment—can reform madrasa education. Such reforms would not only strengthen moral and spiritual foundations but also enable graduates to contribute effectively to social, cultural, and economic development.
