Learning-Teaching Principles of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

Summary/Abstract: This study, carried out by documentation and critical content analysis methods, assessed the Prophet Muhammad’s schooling activities, which formed the historical foundation for religious education, and revealed learning-teaching principles from those activities. These principles can be examined in two categories. The first category of principles that form the foundation of his understanding of education and are widely accepted in today’s education mentality include the following; suitability to people, from close to distant, from concrete to abstract, from known to unknown, gradualism, readiness, freedom, repetition, sociality, and motivation. Principles in the second category, which can also be related to today’s learning-teaching principles, can be associated with Prophet Muhammad’s personality, way of communication and understanding of education. These principles are motivation, easiness, love, compassion and toleration, moderation, equality (equality of opportunity and possibility), using every opportunity for teaching and education, education everywhere, courtesy and kindness, humility, protecting and promoting human honour.
