Extistence & Meaning :
A multidimensional Appoach

The primary asset of any educational institution is its teaching sta`. Ultimately it is the teacher in the classroom who is responsible for the character development of the children.

The educational institutes both in the Muslim world and the Western world are based on
curricula with an embedded materialist and positivist ideology. IIK has developed a unique teacher training program to equip teachers with a clear vision and be independent in their development of materials for teaching science and other subjects.

The program delves into the problem and identifies it from the root. There are inspirational reading materials and time to reflect and develop material to use in the classroom. The program is practical and applicable immediately.

The program will introduce an epistemological perspective in teaching science that is not using the global mental framework utilized in educational activities and especially in teaching science. The current conception of science is almost exclusively based on a secularist perspective which almost completely abandons a religious perspective. Our program aims at developing a new perspective which enables the teacher to look at things not as things in themselves but rather as things beyond themselves. This way of looking brings a fresh breathing space for those who appropriate a conception of science that reserves room for a meaning- based approach to read the universe like an elegant book.
