ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AS A FOUNDATION FOR EDTECH DESIGN: BUILDING A LEARNING PLATFORM THAT INTEGRATES ETHICS (AKHLAQ), SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY
Downloads
The rapid proliferation of educational technology (EdTech) often prioritizes technical capabilities while marginalizing the philosophical and ethical foundations of learning. This is particularly problematic within the context of Islamic education, which is built upon the holistic integration of ethics (Akhlaq), science, and faith. This research aims to develop a conceptual design framework for an EdTech platform that is fundamentally grounded in the principles of Islamic educational philosophy. Employing a design-based research methodology, the study conducts a qualitative analysis of classical and contemporary Islamic educational literature to extract core pedagogical tenets. The results yield the "Integrated Knowledge and Ethics Framework" (IKEF), a design model that embeds ethical considerations into the platform’s architecture, curriculum, and user interactions. Key features derived from IKEF include modules for ethical dilemma simulations, reflective e-portfolios, and content mapping that intrinsically links scientific concepts to relevant Qur’anic principles, reflecting the Tawhidic unity of knowledge. This study concludes that an EdTech platform designed from an Islamic philosophical foundation can create a transformative learning environment that nurtures not only intellectual competence but also ethical character and spiritual awareness, moving beyond mere information transfer to foster holistic human development (Insan Kamil).
