| Summary: | This qualitative study investigates the epistemological beliefs of English teachers in the UAE and their
influence on teaching practices, using a Critical Narrative design. The research addresses three
primary questions related to the nature of knowledge, knowing, and the integration of Islamic
principles with modern educational practices. Narrative Inquiry was employed to analyse three stories
from the participants. The findings reveal a significant impact of these beliefs on instructional
strategies, highlighting the necessity for culturally informed professional development programs. This
study contributes to the understanding of how teachers' beliefs shape their pedagogical approaches
within a specific cultural context. The implications underscore that religion plays a significant role in
harnessing Islamization elements to be instilled in students through the participants' teaching
practices. |
