A Study of Various Public Order Skills in Philosophy for Children Approaches based on the Islamic Indigenization Criteria

Presently, the programs of teaching philosophy to children are executed in the world in the form of one of the influential philosophical trends for transferring the concepts and skills required for philosophical thinking, observing ethics, and maintaining public order. The concepts and skills associated with public order in such programs are sometimes presented overtly and sometimes covertly through the attitudes, studies, and works related to such programs. Such attitudes and work embody certain elements of ontology, epistemology and, accordingly, the specific methodology of the societies which create them. Therefore, in order to use these programs efficiently in explaining and expanding public order from an Islamic point of view, it is initially necessary to indigenize them based on the above-mentioned criteria and Islamic insight. Using the method of content analysis, the present study concludes that the programs of teaching philosophy to children can provide appropriate models for disseminating and teaching various public order skills in the country provided that they conform with the three-fold criteria of Islamic indigenization. Here, the writers have tried to present a polished selection of public order skills based on such criteria.
