| The purpose of this research was to formulate a theoretical model of intellectual education for the formal and public education system of the I.R. Iran based on the epistemological foundations of the Holy Qur'an. The research method was conceptual analysis as well as inference method (practical analogy). The statistical population of the study comprised all Quranic verses along with their interpretations, and databases related to the research topic which were first identified and then studied purposefully and profoundly. The results revealed that based on the epistemological foundations of the Holy Qur’an; 1. There is a possibility of gaining knowledge for human beings; 2. Sources of knowledge (ma'rifa) include: nature, wisdom, heart, history, revelation, and nature (human fitrah); 3.The forms of knowledge include the worldly knowledge, otherworldly knowledge, acquired knowledge (elm-e kasbi), divine knowledge, host and guest knowledge, sensory knowledge, intellectual knowledge, intuitive knowledge, revelation, and inspiration; 4.The basis of the truth of knowledge is its accordance with reality. Therefore, according to the mentioned epistemological foundations, the theoretical model of the intellectual education can be extracted in the form of educational goals, principles, and methods. Some of the intermediate goals of this model are: paying simultaneous attention to the intellectual and emotional dimensions of human character, training of thoughts, thinking, intellection, and recognition in learners. Some of the principles are the principle of the hierarchy of knowledge, concomitance of knowledge and piety, and the maintenance of the dignity of the leaned, and some of the methods are adherence to the best, being forward-looking and having an inquiring mind, as well as seeking science. According to the model, some strategies have been presented to improve the formal education system of the country |
