Abstract

The University of Al-Qarawiyyin is renowned as the most ancient and historic academic institution in the world. This university offers a conventional teaching method in the present day, which presents a significant challenge in the 21st century. How is this pedagogy still advantageous for human beings? How does it contribute to mental or intellectual development? This study report intends to investigate the efficacy of conventional teaching for human beings. For this paper, I want to engage in discussions with others, with the aim of exchanging and acquiring information via research articles. Traditional pedagogy promotes the development of close relationships between instructors and students, fosters the acquisition of skills and critical thinking, emphasizes memorization and spoken communication, and enhances attention and group debate. Al-Qarawiyyin University adheres to a traditional pedagogy in order to impart religious teachings and promote the authentic principles of Islam.
