Motivation--both the act of motivating and the psychological state
of being motivated--plays an important role in the education of
children. This is a notion that a considerable number of medieval
Muslim scholars addressed in their writings, albeit to varying
degrees and through a variety of approaches (from literary to
legal, and philosophical to psycho-spiritual). This book provides a
fresh, original insight into the theory, practice, and rhythms of
elementary education in medieval Muslim societies over the course
of six centuries. It expands our understanding of the history of
Muslim education as well as Islam's intellectual and social
history. Its interdisciplinary approach to examining elementary
education in medieval Muslim societies is of great importance to
scholars of various fields of Islamic studies. It contributes to
our wider understanding of Muslim education because it fills a gap
in our appreciation of the theories and practices of elementary
education in medieval Muslim societies, especially the question of
how children were motivated to learn and how their motivation was
understood by scholars and their teachers. For the first time, the
ideas and practices of medieval Muslim elementary education are
linked to their socio-historical context. This book has paved the
way to discussing how prevalent social, religious, cultural,
linguistic, economic, and political factors in medieval Muslim
societies impacted the theory and practice of elementary education.
In this pioneering look at motivation in medieval Muslim elementary
education, Eeqbal Hassim shows that the Muslim scholars' ideas on
the topic were mainly resistant to change. This finding correlates
with limited progress in elementary educational practice and the
faithful transmission of knowledge in medieval Islamic scholarship.
Despite developments in the scholarly approaches to elementary
education in line with scientific advancements in the medieval
Muslim world, these did not have a significant impact on the
essence of the Muslim scholars' views. This is an important book
for all Islamic studies collections, particularly in the areas of
history, education, psychology, and Arabic literature.
