PROFESSION

PHYLOSOPHY OF EDUCATION ACCORDING TO IMAM AL-GHAZALI

Imam Ghazali’s Concept of Education Divided into 2 parts :->

Religious• Quran• Sunnah

Secular• Beneficial - knowledge that will benefit the

society.• Neutral - enhance one’s beneficial knowledge

but there is nothing wrong if they are studied.• Harmful - knowledge that are harmful and

haram.

Ghazali’s views on Children’s Education

According to Al-Ghazali, "knowledge exists potentially in the human soul like the seed in the soil; by learning,

the potential becomes actual.”

The child, Al-Ghazali also wrote, "is a trust (placed by God) in the hands of his parents, and his innocent heart is a precious element

capable of taking impressions".

Significance of a Teacher

Education (tarbiyyah), Al-Ghazali states in Ayyuhal-walad is like "the labour of the farmer, who

uproots the weeds, trims wheat so as it grows better and gives a

better harvest." Every man needs a teacher to guide him in

the right direction.

TEACHER’S DUTIES ACCORDING TO GHAZALI’S.

He is a father for his pupils.

He must teach for the sake of God.

He would advise the student with carefulness.

Fight the excessive urge to learn too

quickly, and to overtake his peers.

He would reprimand with moderation, in

private, discreetly, not in public.

To blame too much is to make the pupil too stubborn in his way of

seeing and doing things.

To make sure that what he teaches he pursues

in his life.

His own acts do not contradict what he is

trying to instill.

The teacher is a model for his pupils NOT ONLY

in academic learning but also in personality and moral judgment

Thus, teachers should practice what they preach and show

kindness and compassion to a

children, educating them with an open,

smiling face.

Differences between Ghazali’s point of view and current Education System

The differentiation method is not used in current education system

The National Education Philosophy stated the aim to create a complete human being in order to serve for

the nation and country while Imam Ghazali clearly stated that all work

soul purpose is to devote themselves to God

Current education system is exam oriented while Ghazali believes in

technique and skills

C.Edu used many entertainment values while Ghazali did not

encourage the usage of them.

C.E does not really emphasize on the moral education clearly while Ghazali’s view believes that this is

one of the main important things in education system

Relation of Ghazali’s view with Al Qur’an and Sunnah

Al Qur’an (Luqman Verse 27)

• يمده والبحر اقلم شجرة من االرض في انما ولوالله كلمت نفدت ما ابحر سبعة بعده الله# من ان

حكيم عزيز• And if all the trees on the earth were

pens and the sea (were ink wherewith to write), with seven seas behind it to add to its (supply), yet the Words of Allâh would not be exhausted. Verily, Allâh is All Mighty, All Wise.

As Sunnah (Hadis Sahih Riwayat Abu Hurairah)

• اللهد الى المهد من العلم اطلب• “Seek knowledge from the cradle to

the grave”

CHALLENGES HAVE TO FACE BY TEACHERS IN TEACHING PROFESSION TODAY ESPECIALLY IN MALAYSIA

“Teaching is indeed a very challenging job. It is because the welfare

of your students are in your hands and it is your responsibility to

instill knowledge in them. Yet, no matter how demanding the

responsibilities of a teacher are, this is one of the most rewarding

jobs found in the world today. The efforts of teachers do not only

lie in educating children but these also contribute in huge

circumstances such as training future leaders. “

Erika Ayala(The Teaching Profession - A Challenging Yet

Rewarding Job)

The challenges come from:

The parents

1. the parental expectations2. Parents expect higher to the achievement of their children

3. Putting the blame on the teachers-if fails in the test or exam

The students

1.students’ background-different thought, different students, different races, religion, attitude, parents academicians

2. social diversity

The education system

1.Have to complete the syllabus 2.Have other roles than just being a teacher (extracurricular Activities)

The surroundings1.the size of class not comfortable, large number of students in one

class 2.Not have adequate facilities to make the T & L more effective

3.seasons & weather-too hot-flood-earthquake

Teaching methods

Have poor teaching standard-Not well prepared-teachers not really equipped with that particular subject

Teaching profession seems like an easy do-able job. However, few people know the exact challenges that the educators have to faced in the real world.

SOLUTION

Manage the classroom wisely.

Guide students to the solution,don’t solve it for them.

Use different types of teaching method to suit all type of learners.

Be profesional

Have self-motivation

The authorities should allow

teachers to focus on teaching

instead of being burdened with non-teaching

Parents should not interfere in teacher’s affair

The administrator should give award to the teachers for being dedicated to

their work

Good manner should be

cultivated by parents in their children since

young age.
