Islamic Architecture Framework Towards Critical Learning
Main Article Content
Abstract
The rapid cultural change worldwide requires an educational environment that stimulates critical learning. The COVID-19 Pandemic revealed to the world the complex issues of race, religion and social inequalities that persist within society. The pandemic also gave time and space for people to question, contest and debate histories taught in rote since early education. Following this, the paper looks into a framework to integrate Islamic Religious Education (IRE) into modern subjects in Higher Education Institutions. The paper focuses on Islamic Architecture with a position that a content framework in the syllabus can contextualise Islamic teachings and facilitate critical learning of architecture. An integrated case study and grounded theory methodology were used for data collection and analysis. A case study on the course syllabus of Islamic architecture and interviewing experts within the field were done to form the data collection set. The result is a set of inclusive content frameworks that address diverse social and cultural backgrounds to adhere to the changing world. This content framework is a strategy for expanding IRE teaching into the architecture curriculum.
