Intergration of Insan Sejahtera
COURSE FRAMEWORK
Implementation of Insan Sejahtera (Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan/ Maqasid Shariaah/ Sustainable Development Goals/ IIICE)is a new model of Islamic education of higher learning that integrates knowledge with values and modernity with classic.
The IIUM Sejahtera Academic Framework is grounded on the University’s vision and mission and the Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan (FPK). The FPK statement highlights several key elements which are: i- the development of individuals’ four domain potentials, JERI i.e. physical (Jasmani), emotional (Emosi), spiritual (Rohani), and intellectual (Intelektual); the University expands this concept to include the Islamic Philosophy of Education domains which are H (Hamba Allah), A (Alam sekitar) and S (Sosial) – to be referred henceforth as JERIHAS. ii- in a holistic, comprehensive, and integrated manner; iii- with the aim to produce a complete or perfect insan (insan kamil); iv- who has a firm belief and faith in God, is obedient, and devoted to Him.
The Sejahtera Academic Framework is IIUM’s articulation of humanising education in the post-pandemic and post-materialistic era. It is values-based. Humanising here means that students are not seen as products, but as vital and active forces of the University’s existence. Students co-create their learning experience and their educational environment. As active participants, students are also responsible and accountable for their actions, as part of the learning process, thus making them wiser. Humanising education here also means that instructors are given the opportunity and support to also develop and prosper. They are not robots, or even robot-like, who repetitively teach a course or conduct research simply to fulfill their annual performance goal set up by another party. Instead, they generate and propagate knowledge, beyond the walls of their classrooms or offices, and engage in effecting progress in the community, on or off campus. In a humanising educational organisation, the other members in the University community are also engaged to provide an ecosystem that celebrates knowledge and activities related to it. The importance of staff members is not measured by their position, but by their commitment towards providing the best, as befit their own roles of khalifah. In other words, the performance of staff is measured by their impactful contributions.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, synchronize and asynchronized method teaching has been applied through the semester.
There are 3 subjects that I have been teaching for several semesters including the latest is the Usrah which includes the integration of Insan Sejahtera which students need to complete the subject with holistic knowledge combining with good values as well.
