Resumo: | Malaysia is a multi-ethnic and multi-racial country, with a multi-religious and multi-cultural people as a result. Despite its diversified nature, Malaysia is a country that constitutionally acknowledges Islam as the official religion, and all affairs pertaining to Islam are at the highest priority. The key concerns that may be raised are: What about the implementation of education, particularly religious education? What curriculum has been designed? How are the teachers trained? This article presents the policy developments of religious education in the country, with an emphasis on Islamic religious education. An overview of existing research literature is also provided, as are some crucial questions that may lead to the future research agenda for religious education in Malaysia. |
