Abstract

This paper investigates the role of affective domain in teacher and science education from an Islamic perspective. Affective domain constitutes an integral part of the general framework and theories of teacher and science education; in designing the philosophy and objectives of teacher and science education, emphasis is placed on its importance and role in the education of both teachers and learners in science, engineering and ICT based disciplines. However, in practice, there is often some confusion as to what and how the affective domain component should be envisioned, implemented, and taught. This paper advances the Islamic framework for the development of a fundamental and comprehensive approach to the integration and implementation of affective domain in teacher and science education. It analyses the articulation of values, ethics, worldview, belief system and affective aspects of the teacher’s and the learner’s personality. The paper concludes that the role of affective domain in teacher and science education from an Islamic perspective is not only important but also provides an integrated guiding approach to the development of the cognitive, psychomotor and behavioral dimensions of the learner. Kertas ini menyelidik tentang peranan domain afektif dalam pendidikan perguruan dan sains daripada perspektif Islam. Tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa domain afektif berperanan penting dalam kerangka umum dan teori ilmu penguruan dan sains. Dalam menggubal falsafah dan objektif ilmu perguruan dan pendidikan sains, domain afektif merupakan aspek penting dalam pendidikan bagi guru dan pelajar dalam disiplin yang berasaskan sains, kejuruteraan dan teknologi komunikasi dan informasi. Walaupun teori dalam ilmu perguruan dan pendidikan sains menyatakan kepentingan dan peranan domain afektif dalam disiplin yang berasaskan sains dan kejuruteraan, didapati bahawa ada kekeliruan tentang apa dan bagaimana komponen domain afektif harus digambarkan, diajar dan dilaksanakan dalam disiplin ilmu tersebut. Hal ini berlaku kerana hakikat bahawa pandangan saintifik dan falsafah positivisme dalam ilmu pengetahuan dan pendidikan masih menguasai arena penjanaan ilmu, penyebaran, pemindahan dan aplikasi. Justeru, kertas ini mengutarakan kerangka Islam dalam pembangunan satu pendekatan yang komprehensif dan jitu bagi penyepaduan dan pelaksanaan domain afektif dalam pendidikan perguruan dan sains. Jadi, aspek nilai, etika, pandangan hidup, sistem kepercayaan dan afektif bagi personaliti seorang guru dan pelajar akan dianalisis. Kertas ini merumuskan bahawa peranan domain afektif dalam pendidikan guru dan sains daripada perspektif Islam bukan sahaja penting malah menyediakan pendekatan panduan bersepadu kepada pembangunan kognitif, psikomotor dan dimensi tingkah laku pelajar.
