Epistemological Shift of Madrasa Students in Bangladesh: A Multi-Level Analysis
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
This study explores the epistemological shift (ESHIFT) of madrasa students at secondary, higher secondary and tertiary level of education in Bangladesh. Using snowball sampling technique, madrasa students shifted to general education- universities (120), colleges (50) and high schools (30)- were interviewed based on 7 point-Likert scale. In addition, 384 madrasa students at Alim level (equivalent to HSC) were also interviewed to know the plan of their ESHIFT at Tertiary Level. After collecting data, SPSS software (Windows Version-20) was used to analyse descriptive statistics. The study results reveal that most of the madrasa students in Bangladesh are interested to study general subjects for job purposes. Considering general education as to be market oriented, they are being shifted from their traditional education systems to general education. Thus, madrasa students are being shifted from theological/metaphysical to positive stage as theorized by Auguste Comte, the founding father of Sociology.
