Analytical-Inferential Approach to Develop a Model of Environmental Education Relying on the Holy Quran’s Instructions

In this article, in the framework of an analytical-inferential approach, a conceptual model for environmental pedagogy, relying on the teachings of the Holy Quran is presented. For this purpose, in the first step, from the perspective of the Holy Quran and with reference to authentic interpretations, man as described as a creature with authority, intellect, mettle, possessing collective identity, and intertwined with the physical and spiritual dimensions, and nature with attributes such as the verse of existence, blessing Divine, human resuscitative and purposeful, balanced and symmetric system are introduced. These descriptions subsequently form the basis of an educational model on the environment axis. The components of this educational model include the basic, goals, principles and methods, respectively. Thus, initially, from the same descriptions as mentioned above, five propositions are inferred as a set of educational basics. Then, for each of these five basics, in severance of a purpose, a principle, and one or more methods are presented. In fact, the educational model introduced in this article is based on the correspondence and logical sequence of these basics, goals, principles, and methods along each other. It is expected that, the findings of the present study can be used by decision makers in the formal education systems of the country and also in the field of public culture.
