A Comparative Study of the Educational Perspective of Islam and Postmodernism: A Systematic Review

In Iran and over the past four decades, study of the characteristics of philosophical schools through a critical-controversial approach has become a research tradition in the field of philosophy of education. The aim of present research was a comparative study of educational characteristics of the two schools of thought i.e. Islam and post-modernism through a systematic review. Researchers used Boolean s strategy to find the maximum sources and have used additional in-depth analysis method to analyze the data. The findings showed that the general structure of most selected researches is based on subjective assumptions that there is no opportunity to accept or reject them. Other finding indicates that the similarities between the two schools are mainly in the educational dimension and their differences are more in the ideological aspects. Based on these findings and while in reality there is no opportunity to respond to the criticisms of other philosophical schools in the Iran academic environment, researchers in the philosophy of education are advised to refrain from taking a critical approach and drawing unilateral conclusions against other philosophical schools. They should also be aware of the dangers of unproven mental assumptions in misrepresenting and distorting their research findings.
