Islam as a Worldview – Muhammad Ali
What does a worldviews approach look like in the classroom? Dr Kate Christopher and Professor Lynn Revell have been exploring this question through a project called ‘Islam as a Worldview’. The project considers worldviews thinking through practical resources for the classroom, focusing on the teaching of Islam.
Through thinking practically, and with all ages of pupils in mind, the team present two working principles:
- Worldviews starts with people
- Pupils need to engage with different types of knowledge
These clear, simple principles form the basis of the teaching materials produced. The teaching materials are free and available for all.
Have a look at these teaching materials below and see how you can bring in a wide and rich sense of history, context and lived diversity in Islam, through starting with people, and their time and place. Don’t be limited to your own Key Stage, you can pick up all sorts of ideas you can adapt from the resources.
