ABSTRACT

Renewed Islamic Education curriculum can grant learners a grounding of wholeness, relevance, and appropriateness that is taught through a distinctive pedagogy that balances ta'leem (teaching), tarbiyah (nurturing), and ta'deeb (educating), and that aims at elevating actions and reaping the fruits of knowledge. This volume has presented multiple perspectives on Islamic Education curriculum renewal for primary and secondary schools. This concluding chapter weaves together the volume's preceding threads in a number of themes, revisits some of the aforementioned implications, and discusses the resulting recommendations. The chapter addresses the concept of renewal (tajdeed) that the volume attempts to contribute to and synthesizes the emerging insights under an organizing schema of the written, the taught, and the learned curriculum. The chapter raises critical questions in regard to the work ahead of us and how recent innovations might interact with Islamic education curricula.
