Teaching life skills through elementary curricula with an Islamic approach

Conclusion Teaching life skills in elementary schools with an Islamic approach can have a profound impact on shaping students' personalities, strengthening their individual and social identities, and enhancing their abilities. Skills such as critical thinking, emotional management, self-awareness, problem-solving, and effective communication, when combined with ethical and religious teachings, can nurture a generation that is aware, responsible, and committed to human and Islamic values. In this regard, using diverse educational methods such as religious storytelling, group games, participatory activities, and Islamic educational role models are effective strategies for teaching these skills. Moreover, the role of teachers and parents in guiding and implementing these teachings is crucial. With precise planning, designing appropriate curriculum content, and utilizing modern teaching methods, life skills can be taught in a way that children can apply them in their daily lives. Additionally, emphasizing the traditions of the Prophet (PBUH) and the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and incorporating Quranic teachings can help strengthen children's spiritual and moral dimensions. Ultimately, teaching life skills with an Islamic approach not only improves students' personal and social performance but also prepares them to play positive roles in society and effectively face life's challenges. Considering this aspect in educational policymaking and elementary school curricula is a fundamental step towards achieving Islamic education and nurturing future generations.
