@article{Sabira Iqbal_Dr. Zeeshan_Saqib Ullah Khan_2024, title={INTEGRATING ISLAMIC VALUES INTO THE PAKISTANI EDUCATION SYSTEM: A PROPOSED FRAMEWORK FOR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT}, volume={2}, url={https://www.assajournal.com/index.php/36/article/view/165}, abstractNote={<p>The integration of Islamic values into the educational system is vital for fostering character development among students in Pakistan, where Islam deeply influences social and cultural norms. This research proposes a framework designed to seamlessly incorporate these values within the national curriculum, aiming to enhance students’ moral and ethical development alongside academic achievements. The proposed framework emphasizes the role of Islamic teachings in shaping virtues such as honesty, respect, and justice, which are essential for personal and communal well-being. The study begins by evaluating existing educational practices in Pakistan and identifying gaps where Islamic values could be further integrated. It then outlines a comprehensive model that includes the development of specific curriculum materials, teacher training programs, and community involvement initiatives. The framework leverages pedagogical strategies that encourage active learning and critical thinking, enabling students to apply Islamic principles in contemporary contexts. Implementation challenges, such as varying interpretations of Islamic teachings and the secular-religious educational divide, are addressed through a collaborative approach involving religious scholars, educators, and policymakers. The study proposes pilot programs to be implemented in select schools to test the framework’s effectiveness, with periodic assessments to gather data and enable scalable solutions across the country. This research aims to contribute to the broader discourse on moral education in Islamic countries, promoting an education system that respects religious values while fostering a well-rounded development of the individual.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Islamic education, character development, Pakistani education system, curriculum integration, moral values, ethical development.</p>}, number={4}, journal={`}, author={Sabira Iqbal and Dr. Zeeshan and Saqib Ullah Khan}, year={2024}, month={Dec.}, pages={1054–1070} }
