| Summary: | This talk will highlight the concepts of integration and Islamisation, the two missions
of International Islamic University Malaysia. These two concepts are then seen within
the context of the six disciplines at the Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences. Similarities
in the theoretical and professional domains of the six disciplines are examined to
facilitate for the integration and Islamisation initiatives. The proposed approach in
the integration of Islamic perspectives is aligned to the concept of Outcome Based
Education (OBE). This is seen within the context of harmonising Islamic principles to
a currently accepted concept in education; reducing the complexities and fatigue in
addressing the integration using an educational approach that is different to that
being applied to the human sciences. The discussion features the main elements in
OBE in the form of Islamic programme educational objectives, Islamic programme
outcomes and Islamic domain learning outcomes. The justification to use domain
learning outcomes instead of course learning outcome is given. An example involving
the safety domain in Medical imaging will be given to demonstrate the integration
and Islamisation to Islamic perspectives or references. Currently accepted teaching
and assessment methodologies can be adapted for the internalisation of the Islamic
essences. Two often overlooked elements of OBE; teacher and student characteristics
will be highlighted. The various terminologies that describe the Islamic teacher
characteristics and the differences in student learning styles and preferences are
presented. This talk contents that a holistic approach towards integration of Islamic
perspectives into Allied Health Sciences can be realised. |
