Integration of Educational Science and Philosophy within the Context of Islamic Educational Modernism as Developmental Approaches in the Foundation of Islamic Education

Abstract

This study explores the integration of educational science and philosophy within the framework of Islamic educational modernism, focusing on the contributions of the Bayani, Burhany, and Irfany methods as developmental approaches in the foundation of Islamic education. The research aims to examine how these methodological approaches can enhance and reform Islamic education by aligning it with contemporary educational theories and philosophical insights. The study employs a qualitative research design, utilizing a literature review and content analysis of classical and modern texts related to the Bayani, Burhany, and Irfany methods. These methods are analyzed to understand their roles and impact on the development of Islamic educational principles. The research also includes a comparative analysis of how these methods integrate with modern educational philosophies and practices. Findings reveal that the Bayani method, which emphasizes textual exegesis and literal interpretation, contributes to a deeper understanding of Islamic educational texts. The Burhany method, focusing on rational argumentation and dialectical reasoning, supports the development of critical thinking and analytical skills in educational contexts. The Irfany method, which highlights mystical and experiential dimensions, enriches the holistic approach to education by incorporating spiritual and ethical aspects. This integration of traditional methods with modern educational science and philosophy offers a comprehensive framework for reforming Islamic education. It suggests that combining these developmental approaches with contemporary pedagogical theories can create a more dynamic and relevant educational experience that aligns with both Islamic values and modern educational needs. The study concludes that adopting a balanced approach that integrates these methods can lead to significant improvements in Islamic educational practices, making them more responsive to the demands of the modern world while maintaining their foundational religious principles.
