teacher’s affection, learning, Islamic educational thoughtAbstract
This essay with the focus on education in Islam using the descriptive and analytical method aims to delineate the effect of educators’ affection on students’ learning. In Merriam Webster, learning is defined as knowledge or skill acquired by instruction or study while affection as a moderate feeling or emotion.
The main concern of this study is to maintain the relationship between teachers’ affection and students’ learning while considering its effects, its extent, and the right time of using it. This essay tries to answer these questions by providing evidences mainly from the Islamic point of view on education.
The most important results of this study show that affection is considered as part of magnetism of a teacher which contributes greatly to the teacher’s effectiveness and teaching quality as well as the students’ learning and engagement. Teacher’s affection can extremely affects the students’ learning experiences and is an essential element in education; nevertheless, in Islam, every action practiced without moderation can present considerable drawbacks to those affected.
Thus, the emotional domain plays a prominent role and affects the cognition to a great extent. Affection based instruction encourages the learners to participate dynamically and to cooperate eagerly in the learning experiences. Therefore, its importance is maintained prior to and along the entire process of learning.
