Developing a dynamic system model of Islamic education for the Islamic Republic of Iran

The dynamic components of the philosophy of education should be identified for developing a dynamic system of Islamic education. The main purpose of this study was to develop a dynamic system of Islamic education using the dynamic components of education. The Delphi qualitative survey method was used. These components were considered as independent variables. To enumerate the dynamic components of the philosophy of education, 54 default high dynamic subcomponents were initially categorized into nine more general components. A community of 151 experts in the field of Philosophy of Education was considered nationwide, of whom 20 people completed the validated Tuckman semantic differentiation questionnaire. Convenience sampling was used to select samples by controlling the variables of teaching experience and higher academic qualifications. Kendall’s W test was used for a measure of agreement among experts in the SPSS software using descriptive statistics. The results showed that all nine hypothesized components and their sub-components were approved by the samples, and a dynamic system of Islamic education can be designed consisting of these nine components. The components were foresight, use of advanced technology, exchange of information and communication, harmony with nature, security, flexibility, reliance on revelation, the constructive role of humans in education, and being systemic. As a result, a dynamic system of Islamic education consisting of these nine components was designed and presented. This model is recommended for use in Iran’s education system.
