Post Event Updates - 3rd Annual Australian Islamic Schooling Conference: Islamic Schooling Renewal: A Focus on Pedagogy
On July 11-12, 2018 CITE held its 3rd Annual Australian Islamic Schooling Conference on the theme of Islamic Pedagogy. The conference was held at the beautiful Grand Stamford hotel overlooking the ocean front in Adelaide, South Australia. Speakers and attendees came from across Australia but also a number of delegates came from Indonesia, Brunei, UAE, Oman, and Canada.
Highlights from the conference include welcome addresses by the The Honourable John Gardner MP, Minister of Education South Australia, Mr Nigel Relph, Deputy Vice Chancellor, UniSA, and Professor Stephen Dobson Head of School of Education, UniSA. Keynote addresses by Professor Rob Hattam and Professor Lester-Irabinna Rigney set the stage on Day 1 by positioning the importance of Islamic Pedagogy within the broader educational priority of Culturally Responsive Pedagogy. Over the two days, critical issues of conceptualising Islamic pedagogy and discussing its implications on curriculum, teacher education, assessment, and the entire school ethos were addressed. Attendees departed rejuvenated with a deeper appreciation for the potential and possibilities of what Islamic pedagogy can look like in practice.
