description |
The paper aims to elucidate some philosophical foundations underlying an integrated
curriculum from the Islamic weltanschauung. The qualitative method of philosophical analysis
is employed for the purpose of this study. A strong concept must be founded on a firm
philosophical foundation and must be based on the revealed Truth, not mere speculation.
The finding of this study is the significance of four philosophical foundations namely ontology,
epistemology, theology and axiology which are essential to develop a theoretical framework
of Islamic Integrated Curriculum (IIC). The first is the ontological foundation which pertains to
the theory of existence or being and indeed it focuses on human nature, his integrative
components and functions. The second is the epistemological aspect that illuminates the
nature of knowledge, its sources and methodologies. Thus, it also highlights the unity of
knowledge and different kinds of its enumerations. The third is the theological aspect that
constructs the Islamic belief system based on the unity of Divinity and so, it creates Tawhidic
paradigm. The fourth is the axiological aspect that emphasizes certain key values underlying
Islamic value system and is vital to achieving overall excellence. Some implications are also
anticipated in this article. Ontological foundation, thereby, significantly gives implication on
the philosophy of the IIC. Epistemological foundation gives some curricular implications on
the content of the IIC. Both theological and axiological aspects are significant for the
personality development and transformation process. Both systems are key elements to the
IIC curricular content and its methodological processes. All these lead to development of an
integrated personality as the final product of the IIC. |
