Curriculum integration based on the story of prophet musa and the righteous man in chapter al-Kahf

Abstract EN

Curriculum integration at all levels of education is common practice and well-researched area.

however, there is no consensus among scholars and educationists about the definition of curriculum integration.

different factors influence the definitions and models of curriculum integration.

philosophical, ideological, cultural and historical perspectives lead to different definitions, types and models.

the integration of curricu-lum, particularly in the west, passed through different phases since the early 1900s and produced different emphasis, types, processes and models.

this paper attempts to pre-sent a new definition and model based on one case in the Qur'an.

this case reflects the story of prophet Musa and the righteous man (al-Khidr) in chapter al-Kahf.

the new model has some similarities with specific elements in the western literature but has its unique characteristics which reflect the uniqueness of the revealed knowledge in this story.

different models of curriculum integration could be adopted for different top-ics / issues / problems and contexts.

further, research is needed in this area, particularly in Muslim societies and contexts.
