Opis

While this book invites readers to reinvestigate the current state of affairs in Muslim education in Asia, it also pays special attention to Muslim schools perception of educational changes and reasons for such changes. Another important question that this book hopes to highlight is: Has the Muslim school been reinventing itself in the field of pedagogy and curriculum to meet the challenges of the 21st century education? Muslim schools here refer to schools whose curriculum content carry mostly religious subjects and Islam as its school culture. Typologically, it includes state-owned or privately-run "madrasah "or" dayah "in Aceh, Indonesia; "pondok," traditional Muslim schools largely prevalent in the East Malaysian states and Indonesia; "pesantren," Muslim boarding schools" "commonly found in Indonesia; "imam-khatip" schools in Turkey, and other variations in Asia.
