Organizing A Competency-Based Approach Through Reflection: Insights From IBN Sina’s Educational Philosophy

Abstract

This article explores the integration of reflection into competency-based educational approaches, drawing upon the pedagogical insights of Ibn Sina (Avicenna). By examining the epistemological foundations of Ibn Sina’s didactic methods, the study highlights how reflective practice can enhance the development of both cognitive and practical competencies in learners. The research synthesizes historical philosophical perspectives with contemporary educational theory, demonstrating the enduring relevance of Ibn Sina’s methodology in modern pedagogical frameworks. Emphasis is placed on fostering metacognition, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning through structured reflective exercises that align with competency-based objectives. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on educational innovation by offering a model that bridges classical intellectual heritage with present-day competency-oriented curricula.
