EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH) IN THE LIGHT OF MODERN LEARNING THEORIES

Abstract

The educational strategies employed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) present a profound framework that resonates with contemporary learning theories. His methods were rooted in practical demonstration, active engagement, contextual teaching, moral development, and individualized attention. This qualitative study explores these strategies through the lens of modern educational paradigms such as constructivism, behaviorism, and social learning theory. It emphasizes the Prophet’s emphasis on experiential learning, questioning techniques, collaborative learning, and emotional intelligence in fostering meaningful education. The research further highlights the relevance of these strategies for modern pedagogy and their potential to inspire holistic educational reforms. By aligning traditional prophetic practices with modern educational psychology, this study aims to create a bridge between historical wisdom and contemporary academic discourse. The findings demonstrate that the Prophet’s educational principles remain timeless, offering enduring guidance for effective teaching and learning in today’s diverse educational environments.
