Abstract
The present study aims to explore the contributions of Arab scholars to the field of education. Focusing on the intellectual and cultural impact of their work. It also sheds light on some aspects of Arabic society, the educational institutions, and several notable scholars who paved the path for modern educational methods. Despite the profound impact of these contributions, the educational theories of Arabic scholars have received limited attention in modern academic discourse. This study seeks to address this gap by re-evaluating philosophical, pedagogical, and ethical aspects of Arabic educational thought, demonstrating its potential to improve modern education. The study starts with an overview of the historical developments of education in Arabic society, with a specific focus on what is called “the Islamic golden age” and the views of those scholars concerning: the selection of content; the manners and styles of the teachers; the purpose of education; the emphasis on freedom of learning; and the theory of knowledge. The study concludes with some teaching methods that Ibn Khaldun has put forward.
