pdf The Essence of Humanity as a Pedagogical Being
Keywords:
fitrah, pedagogical being, holistic learning, neuroscience, Islamic educationAbstract
Research Objectives - This study aims to analyze the essence of humanity as a pedagogical being through a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing education, neuroscience, and Islamic studies.
Method - The qualitative method employed is library research, utilizing content analysis to explore the concept of fitrah and learning instruments from the perspectives of the Qur'an and modern educational theories.
Research Findings - The findings indicate that humans possess an innate potential (fitrah) comprising hearing, sight, and the heart as integral learning instruments. This aligns with neuroscience findings on the interconnectedness of emotion, spirituality, and the learning process. Holistic education must optimize these three instruments by balancing cognitive, affective, and spiritual aspects.
Theory and Practical Implications - The theoretical implication is the enrichment of multimodal learning theory by incorporating the kalbu (heart) dimension as a center for meaning processing. The policy implication recommends the development of an integrative fitrah-based curriculum.
Novelty - The novelty lies in the integration of Qur'anic perspectives, neuroscience, and modern pedagogy in formulating a holistic educational model.
