UNVEILING THE THOUGHTS OF USERS OF RISALE-I NUR TEXTBOOKS FOR ENHANCEMENT OF ITS INTEGRATION IN TEAC

This study was conducted in support of the proposal for the integration of the Risale-i Nur Textbooks into the teaching of Islam subject in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) educational system.The researcher used a descriptive research design for this qualitative-quantitative inquiry. Focused Group Discussion (FGD) method and survey questionnaires were employed. A total of fifty students from Philippine Muslim Teachers’ College (PMTC) were involved as respondents of the survey.The study revealed that language used in Risale-i Nur Textbooks were difficult to understand by the students, topics tackled are too common with those in other Islamic books, students are unfamiliar with the style and methodology of the books, and terminologies need to be simplified for the students to understand the content of the books.However, they liked the textbooks as these encourage the students to have critical thinking and take part in class participation. They also thought that the textbooks can help enhance classroom instruction best by encouraging reflection. Moreover, for them, the books are more transformative and effective compared to other Islamic texts and the books can actually help eradicate the ignorance of the Muslim youth.The study found that the students strongly agreed to the importance of values and concepts gained from learning the Risale-i Nur textbook. They think that the said textbook can help contribute to the resolution of social problems and issues in ARMM. However, they also agreed that textbooks should be improved in several ways in order for them to be fully appreciated and utilized by learners.
