Objective
One of the most critical aspects of children’s education is cultivating their minds and fostering their ability to think critically and distinguish right from wrong. Furthermore, one of the responsibilities of both the family and the state concerning children is to provide an environment for their spiritual development. Nurturing thinking and creativity in education aims to create the conditions for a profound, comprehensive, systematic, holistic, and future-oriented transformation rooted in revealed teachings and Islamic knowledge while aligning with Islamic-Iranian culture. Based on the Fundamental Reform Document of Education, this study explores the foundations of cultivating thinking and creativity in children.
Method:
The research method is qualitative, employing thematic analysis. The analytical community in this study consists of written documents and records of the education system in the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the theoretical framework of the Fundamental Reform Document of Education. Data analysis was conducted through coding using MAXQDA12 software, followed by qualitative content analysis to present a conceptual model.
Results:
The findings indicate that in Islamic philosophy, which underpins the Fundamental Reform Document of Education, the ontological foundations of thinking focus on unity, the capacity to be guided, the cause-and-effect system, and the coherence of the universe. The anthropological foundations emphasize the pursuit of perfection, justice, freedom, and human identity. The epistemological foundations center on the quest for knowledge, understanding one’s and others’ situations, reasoning, thinking, and awareness of the limitations of human cognition in nurturing thinking. The axiological foundations focus on the goodness of actions and agents, true human freedom, and the love of beauty. The cultivation of thinking and creativity in Islamic philosophy and in the Fundamental Reform Document is built upon these principles.
Conclusion
Based on the findings, the conclusion is that in the Islamic education system, developing students' creativity should be based on the established principles |
