Neglected Aspect of Religious Education: Search for Meaning

Abstract

According to the studies in the field, modern people are inclined to move away from traditional religion tenets in the process of sense-making. For this reason, if educators aim to help modern people in the course of their meaning search, a religious education approach encompassing cognitive and experimental aspects of sense-making needs to be developed and philosophical and Sufi attitudes play paramount roles in the process of establishing this approach.   The current study, which is based on a body of related literature, relies on four main theories and conceptual frames within the boundaries of psychology and pedagogy. Hence, the article firstly deals with the necessity of cognitive consistency and experimental tranquillity in the course of building sense-making as it is considered to be a special issue in logotherapy. Then, the meaningful learning concept in cognitive phase of sense-making and peak experience concept in experimental phase are examined. Within the boundary of this study, some concepts of Islamic Sufism and Kelam (Islamic Theology) such as tahqiq (faith by verify), taqlid (faith through imitation), hikmah (wisdom) and ma’rifat (knowledge), inabe (turn to God with sincere repentance), sakeenah (tranquillity) and khushu (sincerity) are explored from the perspectives of their potential contributions to Sufism and philosophical attitudes in religious education
