Islamski pristup kritičkom razmišljanju i primjena u odgojno-obrazovnom procesu
Islamic Approach to Critical Thinking and its Application in the Educational Process

Summary/Abstract: The first section of this paper shows how the Qur'an relates to critical thinking and the encouragement of higher cognitive processes in man, including both the ethical and educational aspects. A variety of Qur’anic concepts that indicate higher intellectual processes and critical thinking are analyzed. The Sunni perspective, which encourages the development of critical reasoning and understanding, is also emphasized. The paper also reviews medieval Islamic scholarship, which, following the Qur'anic and Sunni idea of promoting critical thinking, advocated the spread of scientific reasoning by elaborating theoretical and practical concepts of teaching that would promote higher cognitive levels in students, taking care of ethical, moral and emotional aspects of education. These ideas and concepts, that are still relevant and applicable in the new educational context, need further operationalization and elaboration, which is pointed out in the paper.
